After a decade of loyalty to Sony, I surrendered my Xperia smartphone in favor of a Google Pixel last year, and it looks like I’m far from alone. But first...
Yeah, I had that with Sony, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Samsung.
A couple years ago, I decided not to cut my nose off to spite my face and evaluate the products and hope some shenanigans root kit doesn’t happen after i’ve purchased it
I think im paraphrasing the author Iain Banks here, I feel like a piece of sweet corn in a turd, technically I’m intact but I’m still surrounded by shit.
On the plus side it pushed me to Linux as my desktop OS.
My institutional memories prevent me from buying Sony

TBH I didn’t feel that strongly, but I could not resist channeling BLM
That analogy works for many things these days
