[–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf [S] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I think the finance model for phones kinda makes them such an easy purchase in a way in which you can't do on PC. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Idk. You mean effectly getting them on a credit that is tied into the contract? Most electronics stores around here also offer expensive products like computers and laptops on a loan. There sometimes is a price tag 1200€ or 60€ a month (with their partner company that hands out loans.) You can even rent a Roomba, pay monthly and get the newer model after 2 years. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf [S] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah, but with a Roomba, it's not tied to a utility. You're never going to NEED it, whereas with a phone, you need it to live these days, for better or worse. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Well, I'd argue you need some means to clean your house, or it'll be very gross after a few months. And while you don't need a $1200 vacuum robot for that, you also don't need a $1200 phone. It's kind if a similar situation. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf [S] 2 points 2 years ago 😂 I so shouldn't be giving you that but you genuinely made me laugh, so I'm going to give you that.
