After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

Replace their parts..... Like uh, like friends do.

I mean a good friend helps you when you need new eyes...

What if I'm renting them?

[–] MrCookieRespect@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

Bad. You either own something or you are a looser.

Renting means playing on the timeline of capitalism. You should buy it as cheap as possible so you can enjoy it when you want, not when they want you to.

I mean, I'd be buying new laptop pretty often anyway, because I'm using it for work, so in this specific case it's actually cheaper to rent. Though it remains to be seen whether they'll lend me a new one once I return this one because they'll be the ones losing money here.

I'm confused, what are you renting, for how long, and for how much? And what do you need it to do? I'm wondering because renting is almost always a worse deal.
