          And what’s the alternative? You learn to maintain your own equipment and take operation of your powerful and dangerous tools into your own hands, like you do when operating it? You find a local mechanic, like you would with a car, plane, or boat? You keep using the same equipment without paying the manufacturer more until it deteriorates too much to repair?

          That’s insane. There’s not even a subscription involved, it’s deranged. Forget your rice, the shareholders need bigger made up numbers!

      I feel like printers started it. Everyone I had used to setup came with some insane cable. Not to mention the actual cartridge

      It’s the legacy that stinky piece of shit Steve Jobs left behind. That, skirting foreign labor laws, treating your own child like shit and stabbing your friends in the back.
