I am thinking NAS might be a good product category. But NAS software is notoriously hard to get right as there are many failed NAS companies or products on life support. Thecus, western digital, dlink are just some that I can think of.

The most used piece of code in the world is public domain. Sqlite. Every linux windows android iOS device and airplane has a copy. Itâ€(TM)s not game theory as you think it is.

Siri works. I can take a screenshot with siri. I can't do that with cortana. That's just one simple example. Cortana is deprecated because people don't use it because it doesn't even have simple features. Not a very good assistant if it can't even do simple things.

The only reason new FAB's are going up in the US is because of politics. There is already no market for them before so we are already wasting billions in the name of national security. No one wants to pay 30%+ for the same thing. You think the current inflation numbers are bad... lol

The ones with good jobs aren't making youtube videos about how they can't find a good job or how hard it is to rent an apartment. Their situation is like if a Mexican comes to the US to teach Spanish because that's the only skill they have. They probably have trouble getting a good pay too!

He is getting a letter for doing something that all Linux distributions do. And that is release GNU software under the GNU name. That gcc that you use isn't actually release by GNU, it's a compiled release by the distro that has patches and code changes different from what GNU provides. Yet distros use the GNU name. So, currently open source operates on a coop trademark gentle's agreement. But if they are sending letters to people then that's going to lead to the iceweasel issue all over again.
