My wife has asked me not to turn the house into a tech junkyard.

    Big thumbs up from me on the no iPhone/iPad policy.

    That crap is ewaste as soon as Apple inc, decides it’s not worth supporting anymore with no option to load a different OS on it. Arguably, it’s ewaste before that, but I digress.

    It just sucks that the hardware is made specifically to be incapable of running anything but the OS or was built for, which is entirely controlled by a profit-driven company by way of closed source software.

    Say all the bad things you want about them (I certainly do), but it’s hard to say that their hardware isn’t good. It’s just sabotaged at the factory by their firmware and OS, condemning it to a mediocre and finite existence.
