You ignored vulture capitalists buying the starter homes and the Airbnb epidemic
There are people starving on the streets NOW
They were not in any way the same company
This is, of course, capitalism-worshiping nonsense. Corporations are legal fictions. Having bought one, you have become the owner of the entire fiction, including the name. They are SCO now in every sense that matters, and I say that as someone who used to run SCO software and who knows several former SCO employees. That SCO is dead, hopefully this SCO can also die soon, but they are legally the same SCO.
today Microsoft is one of the world's largest users of Linux. It has no current motivation to harm Linux and every reason to defend it.
False. As a hosting provider Microsoft doesn't care what OS people are using, they just have to host it. But as an OS provider, Linux is still competition, so they still have a reason to attack it.
It's a crap argument anyway because the point was to keep Linux from becoming relevant on the desktop.
There's also just the general fact that they don't softball shit. If something is anti-consumer they say so. It just so happens that everything Nvidia does these days is anti-consumer. Remember when they were the underdog? Those were good days because they were trying hard.

This could, in principle, be easily solved-- air conditioners could easily store coolness. Water has a high heat capacity
No need for that, just store coolness in the house. Chill the house sooner, it's not just air, the mass of the house itself also cools.
Wanting total internet connectivity is a sign of utter ignorance, and that ignorance is a choice.
Make ignorance shameful again.
You won't be able to buy it because they will sell it to China, and then they will build more fabs and they will be for HBM, not DDR.
Utilities are heavily regulated because they need to be. They have demonstrated it time and again. PGE in particular has proven it several well-publicized times that you surely have heard of.
The upshot of these regulations is that utilities including PGE only really make money from new generation projects, so they certainly would like to engage in them. But the longer they run, the more they cost, and the more PGE can charge as a result. This also motivates them to build the least cost-effective options.

Ban them for safety reasons.
Nicotine addicts have plenty of delivery options including lozenges.
Selling products intended for volatile substance abuse is illegal in the UK. Products inherently designed in a way that their normal real world disposal is dangerous make sense to regulate.
Not everything everyone wants to do makes sense for society to permit, including producing flammable products whose nature makes them into incendiaries when broken.
I inert all my expended lithium cells by destruction either in my welding shop or outdoors on my land, then dispose of the metallic slag safely with other mixed scrap metals. Small cells make impressive incendiaries so I'm not surprised cell disruption during recycling of objects containing them causes fires.
I use welding PPE so it's no risk to me and have ample water to flood cool spatter (which I do anyway after welding outdoors). I suggest other Slashdotters (the original techy sort who know how to safely break lithium cells which is quite simple) self-educate so they have direct experience of how powerful small cells really are.
