Sony probably hasn't been the OEM for their drives in ages. Microsoft never was.
I'm sure there are still one or two OEMs who build drives.
It's not you alone. I too find it off-putting and weird. I screams sexist gen-z man to me.

Hi,I'm currently working as a developer for a small (< 20 people) software company in Western Europe. We develop individual applications for big customers and have a few, not very successful products. I've been here for about two years. Most of the software has been badly cobbled together by inexperienced, overambitious people who have left shortly before I came in. We further developed the...
Ffs! The probe doesn't run windows 98! The development environment was based on 98
Does anyone still believe Apple has a real interest in privacy?
Well I guess we have to invoke a strong copyright, that protects every piece of code, so that no one can steal any of it in any way.
And then you'll have your death of open source.
It's code, there shouldn't be any copyright to it.
In a few hours some suck-up on medium will write a "and here's why this is a good thing" article
Jobs was a fucking monster, but people got brainwashed to love him.
Building mobile web apps back in the day was much harder than today.

Apple's success lies in forcing customers to stay and do as they're told. Come hell or high water.
We'll because Apple is a way of life. A religion. Religions aren't bad, are they?
Apple is way too powerful. Not that Facebook is any better, but Facebook is not the gatekeeper for millions of peoples lives. When Apple boots you as a customer, you most likely will lose everything about your digital life.
If you lose your Facebook account, it's annoying but recoverable.
Apple has control over your phone, your passwords, your photos, your music, your emails, your credit cards/payment methods. And you can backup nothing of it in a usable way.
Without a working Apple account any iPhone is as good as a brick.
What kind of washing or baiting is this called?
With Apple it's "do as you're told", not "do as you like".
Don't trust benchmarks. They're all manipulated by the hardware companies
We'll the blog isn't even willing to make this readable on mobile. Why should one read the ramblings of such a backwards person
Phew. Wait til you hear what Apple does with open source...
Because people are still living in the 90s and even the best developers just love to gobble up Apple's propaganda bullshit.
We've been there for years.
Let's hope K9-Mail gets a more attractive UI. It always felt more clunky than it needed to be.
Look at me, give me VC money, or at least clout, for my pipe dream!
With Apple it's "do as you're told", not "do as you like".
Also the German liberal party FDP and the conservative CDU intentionally let the solar industry die. They rather subsidized the coal industry, which was nearly dead and had a tenth of the jobs compared to the then booming German solar industry. There was a political motif behind the death of German solar.
That's certainly a nice way to track people
