All these subscription service offering are exhausting, and in aggregate, incredibly expensive. Given how much iOS games outright suck this is probably a service I can just ignore.
Thats a remarkably bad idea The RIAA would just sue people arbitrarily (they've done it before), people that couldn't afford to do anything BUT just roll over and take it (this was actually their business plan for a while), then they'd be cut off from the net because they just couldn't afford to defend themselves against a bully. And nobody can bully people like the RIAA can bully people.
I'd mod you up if I could because this is exactly correct. At current price points it is no longer a device you cycle out every 12-24 months, its now in the 24-36month bucket, or until it completely dies. If they want to charge $1250 for a midrange phone that's their choice, but they shouldn't be so surprised when people decide to keep using the old one for an extra year. They need to be planning now to figure out how to recover those deferred sales on the next cycle if they want keep those people in the ecosystem as their iPhone 7's start to die off.
But you need an actual consultant, that can provide business level consultation, not just break/fix windows, because its always broken and can't be fixed.
The only complaint called out by OP is windows update on Win10Pro, and its probably not the consultants vault, or within their skillset to do anything about. I'd argue Win10 Pro is really Win10 Pro(sumer), and probably shouldn't be used by anyone not content to accept all the defaults and by happy there aren't even more outages than you already get. If you want to get it under control at all, you need some dedicated IT resource that can move the environment over to the enterprise sku and responsibly group-policy the endpoints to get things under control. Even that won't save you from Microsofts lack of testing, updates that delete all your files, and other nonsense that just comes with the windows logo.
I don't know how much time I've wasted browsing the catalog, finding something sorta interesting, only to discover its in random-foreign-language with dicey subs. I'll sit there and read subs sometimes, but the content has to be on the extreme upper end of fantastic for me to sit through that crap. If they're going to use random imports to pump & dump the library, they're gonna need to at least invest in some dubbing.
it's simply 'chronically understaffed'. Perhaps its deliberately understaffed, but an actual crunch time might last a week or two. After a year you can't call it crunch time and expect anyone to take you seriously. At that point you just suck at project management.
firstly, people who can't differentiate the meanings of these words in these two radically different contexts probably suffer from a learning disability and should seek treatment. secondly, lets not allow the adult world be held hostage by all these people skilled in the art of being offended.
The taxing authority is highballing with a lofty valuation to maximize revenue. This is just part of the negotiations you have to do over property taxes every couple of years in California to avoid getting screwed over.
Can you still get a 16gig iPhone? I have a little over 250 apps on my phone now. A mass adoption of the subscription model would cut that down to a dozen or so. I'd be left with whatever $dayJob is willing to fund.
Windows users mostly fall into a few buckets: 1 - "It's what came on my computer" 2 - "I have to use it run run $importantApp" 3 - "I'm a gamer, so I have to run Windows"
So it's either just what happened to come with the PC, or it's a necessary evil to run something users care about. They can go to a rental model and virtual none of these people will move. Yes it will suck, sure, it's pretty evil, but the masses will just go along with with. Sheeple will be sheeple.
They'll just keep hiring new young people that haven't felt the pain of living with Windows for as long as we have, who although probably smart will be too naive to drive the product in a rational direction. They'll just blindly code in the direction they are being led.
You run out of straw before you run out of drink. First they came for your bags, now they're coming for your straws, next in line are spoons and forks, then lids. The militant environmentalists won't be happy until you are eating with your fingers off the floor.

but its sounds like none of these UN people have.

c-ya.
Stupid people everywhere, spouting nonsense, pandering to enviro-maniacs.

Everyone who's going to buy one already has one. All that remains is the upgrade/refresh/break-fix treadmill.

Thats a much more accurate ranking of trustworthiness.

If the ISPs were not planning to abuse the lack of neutrality, they would have no motivation to sue.
16gb of RAM max? 2011 just won't go away.
Nobody reads them anyway, and even if they did most people don't understand Chinglish.
Don't forget the gender benders.

It's been shifting in that direction for a long time anyway.
