Not arguing with the basic point, but I find it rather humorous that forks essententially do prevent you from eating soup because they've chosen not to (literally) support it. You need to use a different device to consume that media.


Not quite, forks are ill suited to the job of consuming many soups. This is more akin to how the Samsung watch is ill suited to host a Super Bowl party. All devices cannot be all things, nor should they be, and this has nothing to do with content licences.


Ok, it's time to stop talking about cutlery, everyone in this thread.


No, you can still eat your soup with a fork. It will work. Nobody will stop you. It will just be very ineffective, and your soup will get cold long before you finish it.


Yup, but on the other hand no one calls a fork "general-purpose kitchen utensil".
