  • Digital media means that there is an ongoing service behind it.

    I could download my file and be done with it. If I throw away or damage my super fragile bluray I’m not entitled to a new copy. I don’t even need to be able to redownload (although it’s a nice service). It means there is an ongoing service behind it because they decide it and because they are afraid I will share with my friends - which is about as difficult as finding the media elsewhere online.

    With no more cash coming in, the service goes bankrupt.

    Same issue with physical media. Suddenly your expensive factory is idle, your employees don’t produce anything. We still get to buy movies and not rent them perpetually.

    Ugh, I have the xm4 and they are a great example of too many features. They sound great! However… I often use them while biking, and any kind of noise control is completely useless. Letting in sound would be great, but the wind noise is deafening. Which means that I cannot use the noise controls anywhere. If I’m on a call it automatically let’s in sound, which cannot be turned off.

    Not to mention that they must have been designed specifically to be impossible to hold without dropping them.

    And regularly the left one reboots…
