This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not anymore really. SSDs are mostly soldered in nowadays.

Surely that's just some apple bullshit. Asshats always seem to follow them but surely that's not becoming a norm... Right?

Smaller laptops = less customisability.

Plenty of consumer laptops sold within the last 5 years have soldered in SSDs. Apple does it because it makes for great market segmentation.

If you buy garbage it is, you are capable of doing a google search before you buy right?

This isn't about me. I don't buy laptops in general as they're overpriced garbage. This is about how companies treat consumers and how it's easy for someone to buy a laptop they think is good when it's not.

All companies sell their product as if it's the best, people who don't bother googling before know what they're risking

All companies, and all products?

Have you never been to a Dollar Store? 😂🤡

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Actually no, we don't have those here

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nor do you have English as your first language there.
