    Listen, I hate shitty corporations too, but if you read the article it’s the government who shut down the business because of mold growth in the factory. Anyway, just saying there’…

    Can’t speak for everyone but for me if you start talking about the age thing you’re already missing the point. But if we have to talk about age, if I want to buy alcohol in my coun…

    Some things we have today have incredible build quality compared to anything that existed in the 80s and 90s. Compare any flagship phone today and the tight tolerances between the …
