Anyone else see the new Surface Laptop Ultra and think "Well thanks for sharing the idea of a new product, instead of an actual product launch"?

I am sick of this Tesla-style, teaser product announcing in tech.

@sama Serious Answer: Do this, but don't tell the customer, just "rate limit" the subscription. People would rather feel like they have an unlimited plan, with a limit of calls per hour, than feel like they have a scarce resource.

OR

Make it a bucket, that can have rollover.
