Re:$899 mini PC puts Snapdragon X Elite into a mini desktop ... by GeekyBear on Sunday May 26, 2024 @01:52PM (#40484029)
Microsoft refused to offer warranty repairs for failed XBox 360 units, despite the issue being their own design flaw.

There were famously customers who had paid out of pocket for the same repair three or more times.

Should we still be claiming that Microsoft never changed their mind and decided to eat the cost of repairs, despite knowing the truth years later?

> On February 5, 2021, following developer backlash, Apple sent out another email that increased the discount code to US$500 and expanded the discount to be used on any other Apple devices. In addition, the code expired at the end of 2021, instead of May.
