Rather than the right to repair, these laws seems to be focused on forcing companies to build products a certain way. Most would choose the "right" to a slimmer phone over the "right" to repair. To me, the right to repair means that customers and repair centers can do what they wish to a product (like jailbreaking), ignoring any concerns about "breaking" security features (that are only meant to stop repairs utilizing the DMCA). That is really all that should be done for "right to repair."

What is the energy intensity of creating those plastic bags (as compared to plastic)?

Is that any better?

The earth's core is constantly generating heat. I don't think it generates more heat (or uses more fissile material or allows more radioactive decay) with a radiator. So, you could approach using a large portion of the heat generated, but it would continue to be generated.

The heat is caused by fission within the earth. The heat will simply escape anyway...

If the EU were to reduce regulation and taxation, wouldn't the companies naturally grow and invest? Maybe just getting out of the way is the answer.

I have to admit that the negative language turned me against the writer. I'm trying to remain neutral, but it becomes difficult in situations like this.

why would the government need to subsidize it?

Maybe folks working in factory towns are more depressed?

I would say that releasing source code will mostly not be an issue. It's not like someone else is going to try to start their own League Of Legends based on the code.

$143 billion to supplement our purchase from China. Thanks!

It seems nearly impossible for Google to determine what is "fake." They could spend a near infinite amount of money dealing with these requests. The result would probably be Google deleting results on request. If a website, news organization, etc., is aware that its results are deleted, maybe it could file a counter-request. However, that just means that only deep-pocketed sources can protect their websites and information. In addition, government intervention in determining what is true would be a problem (Hunter Biden laptop, Covid origins, Lock downs & masks & vaccines halt Covid, etc...).
