      Fucking unbelievable, I only had my G6 for 5 months and the vibration motor already went out. Thankfully it's under warranty, so I'll make those greedy fucks give me another one for no charge. If that isn't proof for planned obsolescence, I don't know what is.
      No more flagships after the next one I get for free craps out. Tired of that shit. If I'm going to be literally forced to buy a new one every year or so, might as well let it be one of those cheap smartphones. Flagships don't offer that much more than cheap phones anyway.

      @@PaperBagMan884 Planned obsolescence exists, but remotely triggered obsolescence probably is just a hoax. If it was true every person who ever bought that product could sue the company in a class action lawsuit and Apple or whatever company these accusations are being levelled at would have to pay a steep fine and replace every product that had been affected by this. For every skilled engineer at Apple or Microsoft there is an equally skilled engineer who can look through the computers code or hardware to see if it has been messed with. Assuming that a ploy like this could get past the planning phase before somebody leaks the story. I remember when Apple slowed older phones because opening certain apps put so much strain on the device that it would harm the batteries. When it was uncovered that Apple added this feature they were forced to repair the battery for every effected phone. Apple is a terrible company but direct deliberated obsolescence only happens on the production line. But other forms of obsolescence like restricting very basic functions to later phone models like emojis, UI options and message mechanics or bloating your phones storage with updates, that result in half your phones storage being dedicated to “system” happens

      If you have a freaking smartphone, *doesn't* automatically mean you are a compulsive consumer.
      Nothing bad with buying a new smartphone if the current one is not anymore functional/fixable. (although the system (Capitalism) that makes companies design devices to brake quickly (not last for long time), don't do it easily repairable, don't do it easily upgradable - *still MUST BE FIXED.*
      This animation describes *compulsive/impulsive consumerism.*
      Nowadays the smartphone (and connection to the Internet) can be easily described as two of the basic needs. Simply because it gives access to an incredible amount of information, that one can use to better his/her quality of life.

      That's a very good question. I went back and tried to look for it, and indeed, it's not there anymore. But it does not change the fact that it's Steve's work. :) Instead what you suggest is: if Steve doesn't want this to be on UA-cam, then why did somebody else still upload it? :) Anyhow, I'm not against re-posting the video, since this way we can more easily spread this world-view (so even if he doesn't want - which I seriously doubt - it might still be worth posting the video on many places, for Humanity's sake) I just said that it would have been even better if there was a caption mentioning something like "a film by Steve Cutts". :) It could be a subtitle or any "add-on" to the video that can be done with UA-cam's effect editor. ;)

    I like most of this video, but it is strongly misguided at other parts. For example businesses that make their money off of lumber and other products that come from trees, always replant the tree so that they may use them again and make even more money off of them. This is exactly why we have the same amount of biomass(trees) in the world as we did 50 years ago. Other than that totally agree.

      the problem is not the amount of biomass, it's the quality. A forest is a complex ecosystem that takes years to grow and is invaluable in terms of biodiversity compared to an artificial forest made for profit. The loss of biodiversity is a huge problem, the rates of extinction are today one thousand times greater than the standard. Replacing a forest with a cultivation just a few kind of trees is as bad as not replanting them.

    @grimase726 6 років тому +22

    Videos like these always bring me back to the same thought ive had for a while now, and that is if we should even be trying to advance forward so hard? I mean look at what it has done. Yes, we have done many impressive things with our inventions and ideas, but look at all the downsides. The world is clearly overpopulated which stems to about 90% of the worlds problems such as pollution and national conflict, a great majority of people are getting actual mental illnesses and would rather die than try to function in the augmented reality we have created, and much much more that i could go on for hours about. But look at what humans really are. We’re just another species living on this planet that just ended up being exponentially smarter than everything else. Thats all we are. Animals. We have built in genetic coding that through hundreds of millions of years have helped us adapt to living in the wild, fighting for our food, and earning every square inch of what we want, just like everything else. But these past couple hundred or couple thousand years, which is way too short compared to how long we’ve adapted to a normal environment, we have amped up the production of new inventions by such an astronomical amount that it is in my opinion breaking people. Pushing a species into functioning in an artificial, fake, systematic, and depressing society is like trying to squeeze a square into a circular hole. And if you think society is doing pretty good, go turn on the news.

    There’s windows to shop and prices to beat!
    Sing.
    “Fulfilment is but one shop away; one more purchase to make it to the next day!”
    And sway.
    “Follow the fashion every day; and do the things that the billboards say!”
    Spend and become spent - in a national dance of plastic bags.
    Load up your credit cards and forget about the debt.
    Sniff off the places where the bargains are kept .
    Shake out your frenzy, it’s not closing time yet!
    Sing.
    “Fulfilment is but one shop away; one more purchase to make it to the next day!”
    And sway.
    “Follow the fashion every day; and do the things that the billboards say!”
    Dance. Dance. Dance.
    Buy. Buy. Buy.
    This is your vice; your army, your war
    This is your dance; your song and your floor.
    Dance. Dance. Dance.
    Buy. Buy. Buy.
    This is your stage; come sun or cold rain;
    This is your movement; to dance out your pain.
    Dance. Dance. Dance.
    Buy. Buy. Buy.
    And this is your tribe; your family of spend
    This is your war dance; for every weekend.

This will be perceived as abnormal because doing nothing would mean uselessness or depression in a society that doesn’t allow you be inactive. And most of activities is linked to BUYING THINGS. We forgot that nobody can buy the sun, the sky(here in Geneva it’s mainly clouds though), the sea, the mountains. It’s all ours. And nobody can take away what is really in your mind.

This video ending would be better if the guy left his house alone and ventured out into the woods alone. Having any humans around is bound to end in a catastrophe. SOmeone will always end up being hurt. SImply cuz chaos exists. And the element of chaos exists becuz order and structure exist. There's polarity to all of existence.

      It is not wrong to have a modern device of new technology and use it. The point of the video is to show you that companies make you think you always need the latest one even if the one you've got still works fine for your needs

      Paper Bag Man Yes, and do you really think the economy back in medieval Europe is better than the economies we have now? Would you like to live in times, centuries ago, where you would have no access to the device you use to watch this video, right now?

    • @hoboking8398
      @hoboking8398 6 років тому

      Paper Bag Man But why should we denie someone the choice to buy a new phone every year? Is that really so bad? People that pay money for those goods also pay the salaries of the people who made those phones who would've been without jobs if it weren't for mass consumerism. Again, other than environmental impacts(which will be adapted to over time), why is consumerism such a terrible thing when it provides quality of life and jobs to people all over the world?

    The animation lacks subtlety. It makes the film look short-sighted and preachy.

    my parents' worst nightmare
    they find us using our gadgets
    soon they find themselves flying into a weird world in a weird way
    they are attacked by monster iphones that manage to eat them
    and soon they're dead after that nightmare
