Unfortunately the microcode bug is not only on high end CPUs, but all 13/14 gen desktop processors. The damage is gradual but permanent, so even if the CPU is fine now it might break sooner than it should.

The oxidation issue is on specific CPUs and has already been fixed.

Legislators are not dumb, there is naturally upgrade path included. The connector standards have reached maturity in many ways, new and cool innovations are becoming less and less frequent. The wild west of connectors in 90s and early 00s was crazy, none of them were even remotely as good as modern USB-C or Lightning so I'm glad we are at the point where standards make sense. Similarly to the wall socket standardization the electronics connectivity reaches maturity in time. We will see if USB-C is the connector of the future or is something significantly better coming up.

Unfortunately Young picks on just one service while letting others get away. Doesn't feel right, most likely just publicity stunt on Young's part.

I guess there are multiple definitions of Vaporware. For me vaporware is advertised and teased product without any near term availability. Vaporware may in fact became actual product eventually and quite often there is prototype to show off, but since the launch date is pushed up constantly the likelihood of ever having a real product diminishes.

Few different definitions from different internet sources:
: a computer-related product that has been widely advertised but has not and may never become available
: software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed. :In the computer industry, vaporware (or vapourware) is a product, typically computer hardware or software, that is announced to the general public but is late or never actually manufactured nor officially cancelled. Use of the word has broadened to include products such as automobiles.

I believe that developers are not even wanting open ecosystem. The claim is that once ecosystem (App Store/iOS) is closed and in fact a monopoly there is added responsibility for the owner of the ecosystem to make sure that everyone can participate in fair business. Favoring one provider over another just because Apple can is not a fair practice. Charging excessive amounts of money from transactions while not allowing use of very standard payment methods such as paypal and/or credit cards is not a fair practice. Punishing companies who follow the Apple's guidelines (Netflix) to strong arm them into giving away 30% of their revenue while pushing all the costs to run and market their service to company.
