Well all of them in the EU for one since dynamically changing the initial price during a discount period is against the EU Price Indication Directive and subject to fines of up to 4% of annual revenue.

You can't block seeing something and learning from it behind a ToS. Copyright does not consider what people learn from what they see, only what work they produce afterwards. Again you missed my point. Simply reading anything you see anywhere on the internet can NEVER be a a copyright violation. Copyright concerns itself on your output, not your input.

At no point does copyright law consider speed.

In defense of Trump he's getting better. He made it a whole month into his term this time before his net approval rating dropped below 0. That's infinitely better than his previous term.

What is the LCOE? Well higher now that the Trump administration is burdening the project with what will turn into large legal costs and budget / time overruns.

You don't understand. Trump hates Trump 2016. The old Trump was a weak man who negotiated the most horrible trade deals ever with Canada according to new Trump. The old Trump also was a loser who lost an election, and failed to overthrow the government. New Trump thinks old Trump is as bad as Biden.

Read to the end of my post buddy, you'll get there. I believe in you!

Lucky you, in the meantime our local ISPs ships all modems with guest wifi enabled by default, so you find open wifi hotspots basically in the entire suburb.

You misread my post. I said *ISP's guest* wifi network. It is getting very common now that routers have a private network for your home while also reporting a public unsecured network (isolated from your own) for the public to use.

Dude do you know how a guest wifi network works? It *broadcasts* its SSID along with the fact that there's no password.

Yeah why buy a Cybertruck when a bicycle is cheaper? If you're going to compare prices, then you should compare like products. Synology is not rebranding low grade 3 generation behind consumer trash. To be clear they are still charging a high markup, but a more directly comparable product would be a Samsung PM883 3.84TB which does have an RRP of around $800ish though I see it from as little as $600

Why is the Venn diagram of people who use the phrase TDS and people who read rubbish tabloids like the NYPost a perfect circle?

Speaking of derangement, I love how you complain about rocks destroying habitats (ignoring that fact that breakwater rocks make for excellent artificial reefs) and then immediately complain about commercial fishing being affected (something which objectively destroys habitats). The mental gymnastics resulting in a faceplant of ignorance on the dismount is fascinating to watch.

I really would like to dissect your brain for science.

Consumers are not the consideration. You as a user of Meta's software have no expectation to do something outside of Meta's ecosystem. That isn't an anti-trust issue. You may not like it, but literally EVERYTHING YOU DO is somehow decided or defined for your in the way software is written.

Users have this. Meta can't block Apple from being used (and doing so would be an antitrust violation). Fire up an Apple app, write what you want and copy / paste it. Or better still stop using Meta's products if you don't like how they work. Not integrating Apple Intelligence in another AI product isn't the lack of competition, it is rather something called "absolutely obvious common sense" from a business and a consumer expectation point of view.

What I do wish however is for an option to turn all this shit off. I don't need a dedicated button to speak to Meta AI in WhatsApp, nor do I need Apple Intelligence to write my messages for me.

No it's not. Antitrust is about unfairly restricting users access to other things. Literally every software by necessity needs to make decisions for users. There's no expectation for Apple's AI to be in Meta's product.

I agree there's no heros, but this objectively isn't an antitrust violation. Antitrust considers the limitations on other's businesses, not fundamentally the limitation on users. E.g. Internet explorer being included in Windows never prevented anyone from installing Netscape Navigator. The antitrust issue arose due to Netscape being impacted, not the user. Meta isn't limiting anything from Apple beyond what Apple allow them to do (because you can't prevent an OS from doing something as an app without the OS providing you the option to do so).

The only thing you're missing the the start of your own second sentence and it's relevance in a world where AI is involved in everything you do. Imagine having to say "sure it's a little slow" for everything you do with your PC. You'll quickly get frustrated. Fine in a world where you fire up an LLM once for shits and giggles, not so much fun when you use it extensively and continuously.
