Comment on Anon describes apple's practices

I stopped reading when it said “$2000 paperweights”. You can dislike Apple for any number of reasons, but this doesn’t make sense. Its products work just fine and they run the software that’s on them.

It becomes a paperweight once you install the software updates.

No it does not. Anyone who refers to a functional machine as a paperweight should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.

Bro what? It’s a greentext - it’s 4chan. They all need theraphy.

Sure, but does nobody know what a paperweight is?

“Functional machine” is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as “functional” :)
buttnugget@lemmy.world 14 hours ago
We do not have different definitions of a functional machine. If you think they’re overpriced, fine; underperforming per price:performance ratio? Fine. Whatever you want. But brand new Apple products work and you all sound ridiculous defending calling them paperweights.

Seems like the anti-cultist are the real cultist

Yes. The person who correctly points out that functional computers are not paperweights is a cultist. If you legitimately believe that, you need a whole lot worse than prison.
