Comment Seems really wird behaviour from the seller (Score 1) 89

If I was selling anything of any reasonable value, I'd want to make sure there was a clear and definite agreement precisely to prevent this sort of lawsuit from happening.

I'd have responded with "I need more than a thumbs up. Can you send an email confirming that you agree to the terms", or at least asked for a text providing clear unambiguous confirmation.

Comment Re:Stop forcing channel bundling? (Score 2) 104

Streaming absolutely bundles. You just buy each bundle from a different provider.

A la carte wouldn't make things cheaper. There's typically one channel that people are willing to get the bundle for, and the others are added as a value add. The cable company pays more for certain channels, and you're paying for the one you want in a bundle.

Globalization honey! Elon has plants in Germany, China, is opening possibly in South America, is opening a plant in Mexico. He also has cornered the satellite broadband market (worldwide, as seen in Ukraine), and many other core industries. Now owns the post powerful media asset in the world (X) which is becoming a new "Facetime" too, and a vast trove of content for the AI era, for which he has now founded his new kind of "OpenAI 2.0", then top with Human-Machine interfaces/cyborg tech (NeuraLink), and the absolute dominance in Space exploration, that the idea that this is "Elon's Empire and his good luck" is risible. GM and Ford, for example, are having more trouble with transitioning given they extremely stupid commercial models, unions, their extremely stupid enormous part suppliers, and other internal issues (like Ford funding one of the wokest of the wokest idiotic NGOs) just shows them, and GM (who receive immense subsidies after the 2009 crisis) means it may well prove that they may never be competitive, subsidy or not.
