Wait, didn't the articles day he got kicked out after threatening to delete his music on Spotify? Same end result but kicking shows a whole lot more commitment of Spotify to the money they spent on a covid weirdo...

The main point of the lawsuit seems to me too be the word"circumvent" and all the implications of cracking security to download the video. But does it really circumvent encryption or only implement it similar to the official YouTube web Client? VLC or libdvdcss actually crack DVD security but here it seems to be utterly an incorrect allegation.

No one seems to have mentioned throttling yet, so I'll put that in the hat of what the carriers like to do with your connections

Practically all pcr sold in Europe are made in Asia (mostly China) so why would the us need the capability to make tests to be able to sell them for the (here usual) 3-4â/piece? It's just corporate greed. But I guess the us have proven that market self regulation is as failed and corrupt as communism. Who would've thought that the middle ground is the smart move?

Returning for defects, especially on expensive items, is less of a problem to retailers than normal returns. While they have to pay shipping, the product is actually replaced by the manufacturer in most cases or even handled directly.

How is someone who questions the reason for a specific recommendation an antivaxxer? There is a big difference between "see, i told you those masks are worthless you sheep!" and "crap, the masks are maybe not enough". Science likes being questioned. It's the "but my freedom!!!!" People that piss others off

In a few months: Oops who would have thought that sea lions eat the cadaver of the dead mice and then die too?

Sounds like a great idea except that Foss licensing is specifically designed to prohibit such behavior

And yet, you can expect to take your car to a specialized shop fixing your air conditioning. All this without voiding your car warranty (regardless of what it stipulates) and without your car refusing to enable air conditioning.

I can't really agree. I have an old Canon PIXMA and had another PIXMA before it, totalling about 14 years Both ran on knockoff cartridges that work well enough with zero blockage and about 1â/cardridge. While the canon sized cardridges are painfully small for any sustained printing, nozzle cleaning (manual and automatic) are far between. I do miss my laser printer, not enough to be worth replacing

Software-defined plumbing could get pretty sh**** results, literally. Much like the sh** you sometimes get from "intelligent" SDN logic

Is telecom actually and really running a 5G standalone network or much like everyone else piggybacked on 4G tech in the so-called 5g nr nso mode (5g newradio non-standalone)?

Except that they did not, despite the promise on the website. Their definition of end-to-end was https from client to server and then from server to client. This was sort of the the main problem...

I'll sell you a small but probably working prototype for 1mio USD. Just waiting for my 10usd shipment of peltier elements to arrive from China...

Slomo videos (it's not really photography, is it?) on main camera have been a thing for 2-3 phone generations now. It's just "new" on the front "selfie" cam
