WTF Subscription for Hardware. Bruh

[–] LarkinDePark@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 9 months ago

I know people who voluntarily chose to pay a subscription fee to Google for their doorbell.

I could almost see that for highly specialized expensive hardwareyou don't need longterm.

A mouse is not that. Who the hell is subscribing to a mouse. Not some kind of monthly mouse subscription for people really into them, but just the right to keep using the one mouse you have. That is insane.
