Well for one roads are relatively cheap tarmac is almost fully reusable and is already mostly oil industry waste.

Rail lines are much more restrictive than roads in where and how you can build them. they can’t turn as sharply or have that high of an incline.

Also a good portion of most llarge city populations don’t live in the city but commute. Not all of them commute to the same few areas so of course on city exits there will be a bottle neck but it thins out relatively quickly as people fuck off in multiple directions. I guess you could reduce congestion by not allowing most car in the city and having large car parks in key point outside the city. But I’m not a civil engineer or whatever deals with traffic.

Uhhh no I was just using them as an example of a company that is really against customer repairs

They fucking brick stuff that’s repaired.

It actually might more be the dumbass thinks it’s like the guy who got domains for big companies in the early web and then sold them to them.

I used to use stuff that had IP banning and it would just mean when I was on mobile data I would just randomly not be able to use it because some dick was wanding around getting IP banned using mobile data.

The reason Samsung does crap like this is because it’s like 20% of the GDP of South Korea, they practically own that country. If Companies had Egos I don’t know where Samsung would be in the list of biggest but I know it would be high up.

The vast majority of batteries operated devices are stuff that in its use is going to be “abused”. The hell is the harm in letting people switch out a fucking battery if that’s the issue. Companies won’t let people switch batteries out so they are being made. Apple have been fighting tooth and nail over repair shops
