    I wanted to get a thread ripper like my cat. Tech companies, all of them suck ass; tech in general. It just stopped being fun at a certain point and became a nuisance.

      For me it was when phones started competing over who could get the smallest bezels.

      They obviously stopped giving any shits about what consumers really wanted and just went to making superficial changes that would let everyone know you aren’t on the latest phone.

        That’s a distraction. Part of the dark side was with removable batteries were gotten rid of because the phones are always on(while off). So now you have three(or more) cameras that one can take a wide angle, one can take shot of you, one can take close angle of whatever. A microphone. GPS and Bluetooth and WiFi(don’t look into how that’s used now). Add in your browsing history and etc, welcome to fun! I don’t recommend looking into this too deep, I’ve been studying c-sec, or you will hate phones even more. The software sucks more and more as well.
