Pretty much. YouTube has something similar for premium users in their app.

I’m a qobuz user as well, but the music selection just isn’t as good as Spotify. It isn’t an issue for me, but it will be a barrier to entry for some.

Apple does a great job advertising privacy. They are pretty good at also blocking 3rd parties from collecting data on you as well.

What they don’t do, is talk about the amount of data they collect on you. They do care about your data because they are trying to push into the advertising business. They really need to be sued by these 3rd parties for monopolistic practices abusing their platform to collect data.

Instead of innovating to create a better phone each year that users want, they seem more interested in just changing the business model. I used to be a person that would upgrade my phone every year or so, now I only start looking when my phone is within 1 year of end of life.

There is one, Slate. They are offering a small electric truck that lets you fully customize it. There is also no tracking built in at all, which no other manufacturer can say right now.

So premium will go up again because of this “free offer”.

This is not a driver update. This is adware that is automatically installed with the device being connected. It is the same as how synapse is automatically installed with Razer products. If it was a driver, you wouldn’t be able to uninstall the software and have the device still work, not that a monitor needs a driver anyway.

Xbox has been gifted a chance with Sony’s recent decisions. If they can’t turn it around, they deserve to fail.

Its not meant as a DLSR replacement. It was a replacement for the cheaper digital cameras that people used before. You can take decent shots with a phone camera if you know what you are doing, but it will still not compete with the professional equipment if you are going for the best.

I understand why people want to go back to older analog things to try and stay offline, but the issue isn’t your phone itself. The issue is the apps that you load up on your phone that are there just to keep you distracted. Remove those, and your phone goes back to being a useful tool instead of a black hole for attention.
