Ugh. Can I just say how much I fucking HATE how every single fucking product on the market today is a cheap, broken, barely functional piece of shit.
I swear to God the number of times I have to FIX something BRAND NEW that I JUST PAID FOR is absolutely ridiculous.
I knew I should've been an engineer, how easy must it be to sit around and make shit that doesn't work?
Fucking despicable. Do better or die, manufacturers.
Capitalism: "Make as much as possible as fast as possible"
Not really, and I say this being a communist myself. Capitalism just requires to extract the maximum profit from the capital investment, sometimes it leads to what you said, sometimes it leads to the opposite (e.g. no difference between i5 1st gen and i5 8th gen)
