    We can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.

    Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I’ve been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.

    Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It’s almost as if boycotts aren’t enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

      My line was when I learned their phones had non standard screen sizes for the reason of “fuck you”.

        That’s strange. Any sources on that? I’d be interested to read up.

        Whatever the reasoning, if it wasn’t for the other things and if displays were the only criteria, I would actually prefer Sony - a tall and narrow display would work nicely IMO (if you aren’t watching 16:9 videos all the time - which I am not), and Sony is also one of the very few manufacturers to offer displays without a punch hole and with very mellow corner rounding.
