CEO of company tries to claims his company's products are essential to society, to calm investors concerned the company is not a major player in the latest trend.

Yup. If they want to start charging for their cloud connectivity service that's one thing, but removing the local connectivity option people got with devices that were already purchased -- that's another matter. The level of support they would offer to those would be dependant on how they worded their original warranty documents.

For outright changes in functionality, those need to be made in future products, which they have to then make a value proposition for to sell. This is like a business deciding they didn't work out their revenue model right the first time and thinking they should get a "do-over" with all their previous customers.

Alternate take: money will be coming back to the taxpayers really, in the form of salaries for jobs that wont be going to overseas staff.

Many printed dictionaries listed a few synonyms for entries, too. Not as extensive a list (or any antonyms) like full thesaurus, though.

Perhaps it was more they felt lost, ravaged, or demolished.. their psyches shattered or broken, with their site experience now ruined... or wrecked.

The government going after a business management for possibly hiring an undocumented worker? That's a good one!

When tech giants "copy anything that's good", it means imitate/integrate with your own product, they don't mean literal copyright infringement

"Max" is short for Cinemax. Not as famous as HBO, but still an important brand to them for decades. Kinda lost in today's world though, I do admit.

Who are they fining in these cases if they are doing this covertly and not getting ID from the perpetrators?
