I’ve bought 3 Xboxes. 2 had hardware failures whilst out of warranty and with no easy repair options.
I also have my pc with almost unlimited choice over where I buy my games. The ability to fix or at least replace parts (barring the current memory shortage).
Even the old “consoles just work” argument is long gone with updates and forced online.
Why the fuck would I put up with all that shit lol.
Thank you, rare turtle duck
Lmao CEOs are all about the compensation, bonuses, and share allocations.
Help me, step-dog-bro I’m stuck.

Not doubting your AFAIK and without checking it myself. That’s a rubbish cop out - look at all the Gameboys and older consoles that people still enjoy and even put a premium on.
Edit - I did some research (a Google search):
The ecodesign requirements are set out in Annex II, including rules on:
If we take 800 cycles to be just over 2 years at one cycle a day,then I think that’s a bit limited. I often run phones that are over 2 years old and they are perfectly fine for everyday use performance-wise. In my opinion this is missing the whole point.
It’s a win for consumers too if there’s more competition
Here’s some reporting from the actual criminal trial with comments from the judge on some of the questions you’ve asked.
Judge William Mousley KC says Henry Nowak “perhaps cheekily” had made a comment to Vickrum Digwa, asking him “if you were a bad man”.
“He was filming you on his phone when he spoke. The tone of his voice was not aggressive or threatening.”
But Mousley says this turned out to be a “tragic error of judgement”.
“You moved towards him and confidently told him that you were a bad man,” he adds.
“You drew the dagger from its sheath…and deliberately stabbed Henry with it. It passed upwards through soft tissue between the two uppermost ribs, catching a lung and cutting an important vein behind the collarbone.”

The judge says the pathologist explained how no emergency medical treatment would have permitted access to the bleeding vein: “In simple terms, he would not have survived, however quickly he received first aid, CPR or medical treatment.”
They just had to stick it out until the layoffs were done and the dependency was built. Kinda similar to drug dealers.
Epic store doesn’t support stream deck and the UI is crap. But, in a capitalist society with minimal government intervention to protect consumers, effective competition is the thing that can help keep companies in check.

Really interesting question. Specifically thinking about out in the wild west I can imagine 2 scenarios.
is that everyone would go to church on a Sunday and perhaps get an idea on what neighbours are doing: planting, harvesting, etc.
It’s the weather & season that defines when crops should be planted, rather than a fixed date.

400ml to pint size cans are common in the UK. But I noticed in Sweden for example smaller 330ml cans are available - also available in UK but no where near as common.
Can confirm! I bought one on sale which never connected to Bluetooth on my Samsung android (though documentation suggested it should.) connected to partners iPhone though. Anyway I used for less than 3 months before it stopped charging. I then went back to using the £25 I’d had for many years.
