That's fine for the iPhone 5 before they got as greedy as they are in modern times. Latest generation iPhones have parts locked to the motherboard of the phone, making it alot harder for 3rd party technicians to make repairs without bricking the phone. I forget the name of the YouTuber I think it's Louis Hoffman, he goes into alot more detail on this.

But you are right in a sense, if you never break your phone, it'll last until the battery does. If you get it repaired at a 3rd party shop that's not apple certified (a really expensive certification to get, not just for upfront cash but they restrict what you're allowed to work on to keep the certification) you risk walking away with a very expensive paper weight

Wow I think we've found the most insecure person on lemmy

I think they're calling you a conspiracy theorist for understanding that nuclear is more consistent and safer energy than renewables. Which is an interesting reach.

Honestly if it came with documentation I'd be willing to pay for the game server software

Yes but no, companies don't buy servers anymore typical, they use services like AWS for scalability which charge an absolute fortune.

They could even sell the server for a final income if they're greedy enough

I'm not arguing with your parenting style or saying you're doing it wrong etc etc, I agree with it in theory but I'd like to share my younger sisters story.

My mum decided she couldn't have social media until she was "old enough" to protect her, this however caused her to end up getting a secret phone and create secret social media accounts. This eventually led to her being cyber bullied by students at her school who's parents were less cautious. But because she was doing all of this secretly as her mum had said no to social media, she didn't feel like she could get the support she needed. Fortunately she had an older brother who could help her, but I couldn't go to the school for her as I'm not her guardian.

I personally after this would lean into the world of not necessarily supervised social media usage, but educating and cautioning what it means to post on social media. How it will never go away and when it's there, it's there forever.

My sister fully understands this now and is doing alot better, but ultimately the damage is done.

I fully understand the point of view of no social media until 18, I just want you to be aware of potential consequences of being strict on it.

Alright Mr snarky pants calm down, I was adding onto your comment not attacking it

But there's no need to store them in what I assume to be plain text, this is negligence

Hence the quotations ;)

I once watched a 60 minute ad because I wondered (what would a 60min ad even be about) and I can't remember

Using adblockers and paying to use YT premium aren't inherently seperate, if you feel that's a fair price and are willing to pay that (like I am) no one should call you stupid for it. But people feel that isn't a fair price (which is also fair considering the amounter of users, $1 per month per user would bring in $2bn per month for YouTube afaik).
