      I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted here.

      Apple is the company that brought us:

      • Proprietary charging cables with DRM microchips.
      • The first flagship phones with the headphone jack removed.
      • The normalization of phones without expandable storage.
      • A phone where you buy the charger separately.
      • A walled-garden ecosystem without sideloading.
      • An OS that removed support for kernel extensions.
      • An authorized repair program that replaces instead of repairs.
      • A line of ATX-sized desktop PCs with storage modules that are only accepted if they’re the same capacity as the ones you originally bought the PC with.

      Their entire software and hardware is an affront to personal ownership, right to repair, and consumer rights.

        Honestly at this point I think someone’s got a bot farm rolling against the switch 2, and Nintendo particularly. It’s really not subtle.
