If it’s anything like how the US deals with these things: tobacco is heavily taxed, vaping is taxed far less. They don’t give a shit who uses nicotine, just that they do so in a profitable way.
Australia actually did that a couple years ago, but only for vaping-related nicotine. Cigs were unaffected.
Center-mount stands have been around for years, and were the standard for a very long time. If made well, they work for very large TVs.
They’re doing this to cheap out on manufacturing, nothing more. Don’t give them a pass for it.
If you want to compare something to peanut butter, check out tahini. It’s basically peanut butter made out of sesame seeds, and even has a (kinda) similar flavor profile. Tahini and grape jam is delicious.
I can only speak for myself, but I started buying blu-rays a lot more once I dropped streaming services in favor of piracy. I’ll happily throw some cash toward the creators of things I like, and that’s a more direct way to do so.
They sell $700 wheels, $1000 for an accelerometer isn’t really a surprise.
This is most of it. If they’re facing up (typical lamp), they’ll last for years. If they’re facing down (ceiling fixture), especially with a shroud around the bulb, they won’t last much longer than an incandescent. The control chip burns up if they get too hot.
So just put cheap ones in the fixtures that’ll kill them. You can get decent bulbs for less than $1/per.
And as an added bonus: If I buy the blu-ray, I don’t need to keep the massive 4k remuxes on my server. It’s a win-win.
Eh, just hit it with the 777 and pray. Then swear at it some more.
