That's what it's become. But, hear me out, what if I want the hardware without the software? Tough luck? Both are so tied together that if the company pulls the rug you don't have reasonable access to the hardware.

I don't want to cook after I get home from work. From scratch, doubly so.

PilferJynx , 4 months ago to Technology in X is becoming a 'ghost town' of bots as AI-generated spam content floods the internet — A sign of the scale is the thriving industry in bot-making

I've almost lost complete confidence in anything I see online as true. These image filters to full on bots are distorting what reality is in very negative way.
