Microsoft is raising prices on all its current Surface PC offerings, with the midrange devices now starting at above $1,000, and flagships starting at $1,500.
Many of these things don’t sound specifically wrong. Just heavily entrenched cultural artifacts that needed a catalyst for change to occur. Which, I, personally, don’t mind.
“Due to COVID we are temporarily suspending the trolley service in your train”. Never returned.
“Due to COVID, we have temporarily removed your inflight magazine”. Never returned.
“Due to COVID, we now temporarily only clean your hotel room if you request it”. Still have to request a room clean.
“Due to COVID, the salad bar has been temporarily suspended”. Still no salad bar.
“Due to COVID, you now have to book a slot to go to the tip”. Still have to book a slot.
“Due to COVID, the sleeper train has been temporarily suspended”. Never returned.
These are just the examples I can think of.

Salad bar and sleeper train is pure evil.
