There’s no point in arguing with folks like that. They’re way more interested in platform wars than an honest argument. When they stick to the tired “planned obsolescence” lines from 10 years ago and try to argue that having a 2 year old phone that no longer gets security updates is a good thing, you know they jumped the shark years ago and are just posting in bad faith at this point.

Haha agreed, I just can't resist sometimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Believe me I get it :) It’s hard for me to resist too but sometimes there’s no winning. And winning isn’t even what we’re after usually. Just an honest back and forth about the pros and cons about the tech we all enjoy. It’s too bad that kind of discourse is so hard to come by these days :/

Oh no, no platform wars from me. Whatever operating system works for you, awesome!

But these companies that have gone so far as to glue or epoxy their batteries in, well that's totally planned obsolescence.

Guess it's only a coincidence which operating systems work with which devices... 🤔
