    My institutional memories prevent me from buying Sony

    When the PS4 came out and my old friends were clamoring over it i thought, “In 2003, we swore ‘never again’. In 2013, we broke that promise.”

    But i NEVER DID

      Yeah, I had that with Sony, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung.

      A couple years ago, I decided not to cut my nose off to spite my face and evaluate the products and hope some shenanigans root kit doesn’t happen after i’ve purchased it

      I think im paraphrasing the author Iain Banks here, I feel like a piece of sweet corn in a turd, technically I’m intact but I’m still surrounded by shit.

      On the plus side it pushed me to Linux as my desktop OS.

        TBH I didn’t feel that strongly, but I could not resist channeling BLM

        That analogy works for many things these days
