They 100% do! But the marketing departments always likes to have “solid” arguments at hand.
How else can they organise fairs and conferences where they can lament about how poor the automakers are and how pressure from are pulling prices down so automakers cannot compete… how they have to fire people and move production in poorer countries where people can be treated more like slaves… how profits are so low that they have to use the same jets with the same bitches twice!
Hyoerloop is not a scam just because The con man proposed it with the intent of stopping a high speed rail road project.
It’s a scam also because:
This is actually very good news for car manufacturers.
Touch crap was cheaper but sold a new tech so => price increase
Buttons are old tech so no new investments or tech development but they are more complicated => price increase
Well in the 90s in Eater Europe we first had cable TV without subs or dub, just the original track (English, German, Italian, Spanish) so we had to learn the language just watching the shows trying to understand. Then subs started to be common and almost no dub. Then in late 2000s dubing started to be the norm for animations but movies are still subed and nobody likes dubed movies.
I think in the context of the Black Sea fleet it’s considered major. They cannot replace them so every ship counts especially missile carrying ones.

PragerU vs trans bitching … choose your punishment …

How lazy and dependent people are if they can be “blackmailed” by the food delivery service and that service doesn’t fear a significant loos of customers!
Essentially all the products where the following is true:

All those features you would like are great but hurt the profits so you won’t get them, sorry.
"Rockets are still being fired from Gaza into Israel, and we condemn this,” he adds.
This is the whole point: they cannot expand. While there will always be cheap enough products that don’t make economic sense to repair there will always be goods that can be repaired. The limit is set by a complex economic equilibrium and is always moving but first you have to create that possibility.
Right now there is only limited repair possibility not because it’s not feasible economically or there are no providers or customers for the service but because there is an active struggle from the manufacturers to stop this activity for increased sales and profits.
Yeah, we are so much better than them because … (insert own reason of entitlement)!
classic phrase repeated each generation since recorded history
You know there are guys living from repairs, right? They are repairing products that were built on purpose not to be repaired while the manufacturers are actively and intentionally hampering the access to information and parts.
It’s also like saying that bloating an OS with spyware and useles eyecandy it makes it use hardware resources ineficiently. But of course that’s not the case with Micro$oft.
