    The reason I use iOS is because I don’t want ANY third party to be given access to the NFC chip where I store credit cards.

    I want the heavily guarded and tightly controlled ecosystem. I want 3rd party apps to be sandboxed. I want to be able to easily and completely cancel subscriptions.

    If I wanted a commitee-designed, plastic piece of shit phone that collects malware and sells my data at will, I’d buy an Android. Its right there. I’m free to choose.

    @fuat2mb “because men fail to follow god’s teaching” is not a salient argument. And I’m not here to argue the merits of the Spare Change documentary.. that’s a separate issue. Feel free to join me in the land of the living, if you wish.

    @fuat2mb Ok, I'll bite as those verses seem to imply predatory lending—what we might observe in the modern day as pay-day loans or loan sharks. I would agree that this is robbery.

    But interest serves a purpose nevertheless. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar one year from now, most would agree. And there are many instances where my neighbour might benefit from a dollar today and I might not need my dollar until next year, and so we strike a fair deal that benefits both parties.

    @fuat2mb There are some good facts in here but this is otherwise sensational rubbish. Author also says to never finance a vehicle because interest is robbery? No, that’s just how money works.

    Thinking of leasing a Subaru for 24 months. I’ve never actually leased a vehicle before—is there anything I should know that wouldn’t be obvious to a rookie?
