Thoughts on the #Apple antitrust case?
My first reaction is that it's going to be extremely difficult to prove.
I've long been critical of Apple's walled garden and their massive markups on components like storage and RAM, but I understand their appeal and clearly so do millions of customers.
I could have bought an iPhone but I chose Android devices because that's what I prefer. Does Apple really make it that hard to move away?
@voltronic only every time I contemplate a different operating system...so not a fan of Android devices. Not as durable, in my opinion, and there's a lot of PITA programming you have to do.
@joycereynoldsward
Neither of those things are true in my experience.
@voltronic my experience says otherwise.
@opie
I've come close to buying them more than once, but their lack of expandable storage always disqualified them from my consideration.
I must phone differently than everyone else...I have zero need for massive storage on my phone...I have a 256GB Pixel 7 Pro with 40GB used...I need to stop buying the 256GB versions...waste...
@opie One word: Music
@opie
Apart from using Amazon for convenience on my phone, all of my music outside of bandcamp purchases is hard copy. Vinyl and CDs. @voltronic @joycereynoldsward
@opie
Bandcamp is awesome. I really hope things don't go south following the buyout.
@voltronic For the timebeing I haven't noticed any difference. Time will tell. They'd be fools to mess with it. It's a winning formula. Customers love it, creators love it. @opie @joycereynoldsward
@stueytheround @voltronic @joycereynoldsward
I friggin love bandcamp...FLAC download, 320kbps CBR encode to MP3, upload to cloud...
but I get it...I'm not an audiophile...I can def hear the difference tho...I'm just a lazy sucker for convenience... ๐ซค
