I haven't even thought about getting McDonald's ice cream in years just because it seems like they are never able to serve it so I'm not even going to try. When I want ice cream I'll go to the place that make ice cream on a cold slab.

I didn't have Netflix before the crackdown and I don't have it ever. Basically a net positive of 0.

USB C is an open standard and can be used by anyone.

Keep in mind that magnetic cables do not conform to USB C standards and specifications and are therefore never recommended for the sake of compatibility and safety. They may work for certain use cases but I wouldn't use them personally.

Open source physical keyboards do exist though

This was a one off that hasn't been updated in almost a year. I doubt it's getting any more updates.

I ditched Windows for a Linux Mint just over a month ago. Best decision.

Too many people don't know what it actually means.

I've been in the industry for over a decade and I find it fascinating how much lighting has changed in that time. When LEDs were first available, they were $60+ per bulb. Now you can get multipacks for under $10. Also, CFL bulbs were almost universally hated by everyone (and for good reason) now we no longer sell them. We strictly sell LEDs for regular lighting and we still sell incandescent specialty bulbs. Also, when LEDs first arrived there was a lot of distain for them, especially by the elderly. They wanted their energy wasting incandescent bulbs dammit! It seems the majority of them have come around because they've learned that LEDs are better.

A good argument for open source
