why not both ?
if you've got a bit f time to spare and a spare usb-drive or spare small partition.
it's a fun and informative process.
if you don't have fun then stop and flip back to your mint.
you still have mint.

Its not an either or thing.

This doesn't seem very surprising. And i'd have thought most amazon users would have noticed this, and presumably don't care.

Lots of businesses either cut costs and quality or increase prices to see what the market will bear.
If customers don't switch away to a competitor that reveals that the customers are fine with it.
Thats expected behaviour.

What'd be interesting, and more likely to be illegal in some places, is if they have high and persistent market power and can be shown to have used that power to limit customer's choice to switch to competitors; or prevent viable competitors from entering the market.

So i'd think they need to demostrate how amazon actively blocked access to ebay for example. but i'm definately no expert in usa competition law.

My sister spent hours trying to play dvds on her new windows laptop ; I found her getting pissed off , turning to percussive maintenance, and starting to fill out a warranty claim on the dvd player . . .

It took about 15 minutes to download , flash (figure out how to change the sodding boot order) and run Manjaro installer/live usb stick to demonstrate how real computers can just do things like play dvds.

Manjaro is great for cases like that, since it works, is easy, and will have pretty well up to date kernel.

I mean don't get me wrong, installing arch from scratch is a good fun and educational process and very nostalgic for the 1990s . . . but i'm not doing all that on my sister's laptop just to demonstrate how shit windows is.

and i'm very grateful for valve doing it all for steamdeck.

break even?
makes it sound like like they're talking to investors not residents.

i dread to think how their "anslysis" works.

cant bear to do any more than skim this article though.

I'd rather not live in a society that allows anyone to study in the London School of Eliteism.
