I don't think that you fully understand what the word "prefer" means. I said that I don't want to give up access to my third-party apps if possible, not that I would never consider a factory reset.
It might help to grab a dictionary before you start policing the internet from your porn account.

"I wish my cancer riddled grandmother wasn't suffering."

"Well, you could always just kill her! Then she would feel anything!"

???

Even more so, I didn't even disagree or say that they were wrong. Just that I'd prefer not to do that because, along with my grandmother not suffering, I also want her to be alive. Contrary to popular belief, humans are capable of wanting multiple things at the same time. Have you ever been thirsty while you had to pee?

It means maybe apply again in the distant future after you are more established as an experienced dev with a "better grasp of the fundamentals." But you didn't get the current job and they were trying to be polite about it.

Oh, I am definitely getting more paranoid as I get older, but that's a different issue altogether. :D

IANAL either, but I'm pretty sure you are correct. I put it in another comment somewhere, but I'm more upset about not being given a choice to refuse the change rather than the actual change itself. I don't mind signing the waiver at amusement parks, or to buy a car with no warranty. I just want to know what I'm agreeing to, and I don't like folks pulling the rug out from under me or changing the deal.

The situation feels like if I were to drop out of college, I would be given electroshocks until I'd forgotten anything learned in class.

How on earth is saying "I would prefer not to do something" being unreasonable with people?

Whew, that inter-continental shipping is going to be rough, but I've had to pay it before. Thanks for the advice!

This is the point that I've been stuck on. There doesn't seem to be clear, easily available, documentation on which models those are. However, I have been able to find many ramble-ly "old man yells at cloud" forum & social media posts (You know, like this one!) when a model doesn't allow it.
