    Yeah. We have to transition to a consumer society that’s ready to learn. It’s not hard to root an Android phone, you can even let it done. Or whole family runs on perfectly great rooted Xiaomi phones. How do people even consider to buy ANY product and just don’t learn about it. It’s fkn easy. Any child could do it.

    One thing, though: Rolex isn’t just a status brand, the watches are actually awesomely made, the real quality of a Rolex is invisible: no Windows in the back, no tourbillon, but a real hand made movement in it. But you were talking about the diamond/gold bricks, right?!

      Because we have higher priorities in our life than that. Why don’t most people just learn my hobby of woodworking and make their own furniture instead of buying overpriced cheap crap at most furniture stores? It’s literally the same scenario.
