I think it would be cool to see different colours of casing at some point… Surely it wouldn’t cost too much.
I think there are dbrand skins for the FW13

Dude, with musical instruments it is so strong!
Specially as a lot of new manufacturers entered the scene!
Sire is making 500€ basses that play as well as old 1.5k€ Fenders! You’re paying for the history mostly now, with traditional brands!
This, fast processors in smartphones are more of a marketing gimmick than anything else.
If it is fast enough, who cares about the rest?
Sorry but I’m not going to do CFD simulations on my phone, and something mid range is more than enough to serve as the communication hub+DAP+GPS that I need. In any case, limit performance and give me better battery life FFS! Or use the extra free power to give me a better amp to use harder to drive headphones!
“How to convince myself that I can continue to consume from known bad companies.”
Man, as someone who did tons of computer repair and support in my early years, the hoops and loops people go to keep buying stuff from apple, as maybe a bit of an extreme example, is just amazing!
I see it with stuff from amazon, nvidia and ea too, specially frustrating when there are clear less evil alternatives!
If you allow me to go for quality over quantity, Clear MG.
I remember hearing something about somebody ghostwriting the fictional books from Critical Role, Tusk Love or Der Katzenprinz or something like that?

I 100% recommend the videos by James Tullos about the shapiro books!
I mean, shapiro is ultra delusional, and it shows!

Check James Tullos videos about them LoL

I think you already made the main argument clear. It is a cost cutting measure, and a very effective one at that!
Today’s hardware is powerful enough that an APU is “enough” and again the Steam Deck is the most impressive of all of the examples.
But for a more premium product, there are 3 main pluses for CPU+dGPU, first, disparity in needed performance, if I’m gaming most of the power I need is GPU based, but if I’m doing CAD or CFD I’m suddenly CPU bound (ST for CAD, MT for CFD), and if I’m buying a 1.5k€ system, I do prefer it to be optimised for my use case and being able to choose CPU and GPU deparatedly allows for that, while for APU it’d become a skew nightmare! Second, upgradeability, as we have seen with things like 4th gen Intel processors keeping up until practically 3rd gen Ryzen took over as still relevant for gaming, where the main upgrade needed was the GPU, for a more premium product I do consider it important. And third, repairability, even if in some categories like laptops dGPU vs iGPU is not the main bottleneck for it, there is a big amount of computers I’ve rescued with a GPU swap, for sure.

I honestly discarded amazon (and apple) as possibilities for my streaming service of choice due to their straight out evil business practices as a company.
The smaller players (Qobuz, Tidal) offered the same sound quality, music collections, etc. without the association with an evil corporation.
For studio headphones, being a bass player in a city without that many bass players allowed me to try a lot of studio headphones just by going to jams and small sessions at small studios. Although I will say that 50% of what I found was either Beyerdynamic or the same model of Sennheiser and Sony !
Other than that, audiophile store.
