A lot of office equipment is designed to be the portal to buying those added features, programs and functionality that involves no extra hardware. At one time the industry was pushing to be a “solution” industry primarily with a secondary emphasis on hardware, buyers balked at this and now it’s back to selling boxes.…

My follow question is how often is any of this shit even breaking? My guess is close to never.

I can somewhat understand paying a subscription for software, even though I don’t necessarily like that; but subscriptions tied to hardware dependent functions make very little sense to me. Heated seats, headlight functionality, radar cruise control, even extra power from the engine/motor, etc. if the car comes…

Just get yourself a classic car or pickup. No tech. Do most if not all the maintenance yourself. Looks super cool.

With this and the data-sharing news this week, it looks increasingly like I’ll be buying used cars from 2016 or older for the rest of my life.

If you are sheeple and don’t balk now, then go report to have a ring put through your nose.

I’d like to live in a reality where that’s a low bar.

It’s almost like the Daily Mail is a lying tabloid hack rage that exists to spread hate and that people should stop using it as a source for anything.

Wait, even if these photos were real... what was I supposed to be outraged about again?

Even if that were true, the measures WotC took to “recover” their merchandise were beyond unreasonable. Merchandise, I might add, that the YouTuber purchased legitimately; Even if the retailer had knowingly broken the street date, that only makes them in breach of their sales and distribution agreement with Wizards,…

Product was not stolen. It was sent by accident. That is not theft. The YouTuber did nothing to steal these cards because they weren’t stolen. 

There’s no evidence it was stolen. Further, even if it was, sending a bunch of mercenaries to tresspass in the guy’s home, threaten him with violence, and seize it is still a crime.

Sure, but if I knew my neighbor stole a price-gun from Walmart, I can’t just walk in there and take it from him, just because he’s in possession of a stolen item. And I most certainly can’t call someone else (without any legal authority) to do it for me either.

There is an entire legal channel you have to go through to…

Since it’s Apple, the 2 hour battery life will drop to about 1 hour after you’ve had it for 6 months. Which will be the perfect time for you to go get the brand new AR/VR 2.0 with new features like a yellow color option!

OKay, but what right does a private security force have to resolve that?

I don’t know what the legal line is here, but was it stolen? Sounds like it was sold from a shop a few weeks early. I’m not sure street dates are legally protected beyond whatever contract the distributor signed when they bought the Magic cards wholesale. My guess is the legal option WOTC had would’ve been a breach of…

If a bunch of rent-a-cops showed up at my door demanding my stuff, you can bet that I would not give them anything and involve the real police ASAP.

Sending Pinkertons is a wild overreaction IMO... but the poster should’ve just not posted the video of him opening something he knew wasn’t released yet.

So Apple hopes that people will use it to watch movies, gonna suck if the movie is over 2 hours long

It really does suck that three of the largest IPs in tabletop games (MTG, DnD, Warhammer) are owned by two of the absolute worst companies.
