The problem is, when you criticize a company, you mostly have more people defending the companies, posting laughing smileys under your post or attacking you personally, rather than trying to understand your point or think about it... Especially when it comes to companies like Apple or even streaming services like Netflix.

I guess the quote feels more complete like this: "These days they don't make money through innovation, these days they make money by extortion."

This is not just a computer repair channel. This is a channel of moral integrity and valuable content. 👍🏼

[LaOwlett]

What blows my mind is that someone would sell me a vehicle that has all the functioning components of heated seats - whether I'm willing to be extorted to turn them on or not. So the components I paid for are there, even if I don't pay to have it remotely enabled. The car is mine, components mine, but my ability to use the property I paid for is being limited remotely unless I pay them to stop. This should be illegal.

Remember: Louis Rossmann is not suicidal.

[infinidominion]

I have a macbook that started turning off an alarm would go off and I thought I needed to send it to Rossman Repair. This is a testament to Rossman Repair because the first email I got back was something like "it probably has too much Ram, take a Ram chip out" and I removed an extra Ram chip that someone installed previously to me owning the computer. Didnt even have to send it in. They didnt say "send it in, we'll take a look" and charge me whatever hundreds. Rossman fixed my computer without even trying. That is honest

I thought he had a flintlock strapped to his chest like it's the mf 1700s 💀

[MrOldskoolgamez]

I thought this was actually going to be about Super Mario Bros.

[AOLAmericaOnline]

I remember when my mom developed an autoimmune disease in her 60s. After having insurance her entire life, her insurance company decided that her treatment wasn’t medically necessary so they wouldn’t pay for infusions that her doctor said she needed. The risk of not getting the infusions? Complete paralysis including of smooth tissue and lung function.

My parents had to pay between 10-20k for each infusion out of pocket after having health insurance their entire life from that provider.

What a great system.

Oh, it's been in education for a LONG time. Textbooks are very expensive, and sometimes the only difference between two editions is the order that subtopics are listed, or the ordering of the questions in the quizzes at the back of the chapter. (JUST enough so that if you have a used copy from last year, you can't follow along with the professor's answer key.)

And here I thought Louis was gonna talk about how much he loves SMB3 and is considered the greatest game of all time.

[Stef.Cata]

Let's be honest here, they're not abusing just the customers, many of these companies are also abusing the employees

"Deny, Defend, Derail" has to the be the funniest shit i've heard all month

[bluedistortions]

As a shade tree mechanic, I can tell you, manufacturers have been putting software in cars to detect non-authorized maintenance on vehicles since at least 2005, that was when I first encountered it. The car will seem to be ok, then run rough, for no reason. I was forced to tell them to go to a dealer, who, for $200, would hit one button to "recalibrate."

But the thing is, that same model car with the same engine in '91 would also auto-detect maintenance being done, and automatically recalibrate itself. No button from the dealership necessary.

The strangest thing to me was how the car would wait until it left the shop, give it a few hours, because completely malfunctioning and revving to 5, 000 RPM. that was when I knew it was intentional and malicious.

if THEY change the agreed upon ToS, im free to do what i want including "pirating", aaannd so on... THANKS LOU

Ifi recall correctly The Train in Poland situation was a Logic Bomb (when X days inside Y GPS perimeter, start giving issues) rather than remote disabling.
But it pretty much is the same field of corporate malpractice (if you don't agree to my brutal practices say bye bye to your purchased EQUIPMENT) .

[Dargubus]

I think the Problem in the last is, that in the last decades the idea shifted from "How can we create/add value and then get paid for that" to "How can we get paid the most for little added value (because that costs)" .
That is also visible at the top of companies changing from engineers to finance people and adding more and more companies together where the top has nothing to do with the problem anymore.

I normally watch YouTube anonymously, but I felt compelled enough to use my account to comment here. Thank you for everything you do, including your FUTO software. I thoroughly enjoy Grayjay and the keyboard. I saw that Grayjay for the desktop just dropped (even though it's in Alpha right now).

[mecha]

How long until I have to learn how to build an entire car without being an engineer, perform surgery on myself without a doctor's license and produce my own medicine without being a pharmacist?
