The most annoying thing is it blasting "battery low" every 30 seconds when the battery gets below 20%, making them absolutely unusable. At least Sony lets out a ver short beep to let you know, and only twice

You can. I can enjoy Hitler's paintings because they contains no nazism, even if a nazist mind produced them (you could argue that in his youth he was not yet a nazi, but that still doesn't matter).

Heck, I'm going even further and say that even if a form of art posses some inheritely bad aspect, you can still separate it from other artistic characteristics.

Let's say Hitler did a panting of a gas chamber killing people in a death camp, but is painted in such a skillfull and technically relevant way to be revolutionary in the art, then it's ok if people like it (technically, not ideologically), it's ok if it's owned and hang in a museum, even if it depicts real, evil and needless suffering. You can approcciate something technically or artistically without having to embrace the ideals it represents. And it's important to not cancel things just because bad people did it, because remembering is important.

As for modern bad artist, it's more complicated because you might not want to financially support an artist who is a criminal/terrible person, but that still doesn't mean you can't appreciate their art.

Microsoft lied, when they announced Windows 10 they said it would be the last windows version ever. That's false advertisement and they should not be allowed to do it.

Also forcing arbitrary requirements for compatibility (that can be disabled so they are not real requirements) in order to buy new devices needlessly should not ne allowed.

When you bought an album you owned it for life. With spotify you are borrowing the music and if you stop paying you get nothing left

Such an experiment would be highly unethical and of doubtful interest. After all, you already know sexuality develops without influence, is it useful to know if it develops differently under pressure? To do so it requires to possibly ruin people's live, that's why it's not done.

Also, we already have the opposite experience: gays being convinced to be straight. As far as I know, it doesn't really work and only creates suppressed emotions that ruins their sexuality.

10 or so years ago, Steam accepted payments in Bitcoin, for some reason they stopped, so they certinaly can do that but chose not to.

Also, 99% of people would not use it so wouldn't change much.

Also just because you have fantasies at some point, doesn't mean you will follow the and they won't "go away" in the future. That's just your brain trying to figure out the unclean mess that sexual orientation is.

If you use a vpn you appear as a non-uk user, you don't have to show the ID. If you don't have an existing account, the only reliable source of geolocation for websites is your ip address, so a vpn can effectively circumvent that.

That's not what I'm saying, a healthy diet consists of different sources of calories. There's no "better source than others", you need all in different quantities. Some are worse in excess, but you still need all for a balanced nutrition.

Everything is bad in excessive, especially oils and fats given their high calory content. Sugar may be ""worse"", doesn't mean fats are good

I guess you are joking, but I see this argument often and it really doesn't make any sense.

Not defending the multi billion dollars corporation and not denying that something seriously need to change on how we value our time, but hunters-gatherers would kill for an 8 hours job, probably sittinf down on a computer. They had to work the whole day, dawn to dusk, just to survive.
