Courts interpret laws they don't write them. The DMCA is clear. And it's clearly one of the worst laws this country has passed in probably a century. The problem is not the judicial branch it's the legislative.

I, Steve Wozniak, did not participate in the theft of the BASIC. It was funny to me to see others enjoying doing this. I had never used BASIC myself, at that time, only the more-scientific languages like Fortran, Algol, and PL-1, and several assembly languages. I sniffed the air and sensed that you needed BASIC to sell computers into homes, because of the book 101 Games in BASIC. I loved games and saw games as the key. It was the [MS] BASIC that inspired me to write a BASIC interpreter for my 6502 processor, in order to have a more useful computer.

It's hard to find people with Tim Berners-Lee's integrity. We should 'own' our own lives. It's a lot deeper than just being watched.

I think the iPhone has never been in a worse place. Liquid Glass is overwhelmingly disliked by users, the software is buggier than it's ever been and Android phones (specifically Pixel) have surpassed it in photo quality (though the consensus seems to be iPhone still holds the lead in video).

The problem is that as Android has gotten better, iPhone, or more specifically iOS, has gotten considerably worse. And I say that as an iPhone owner.

Well, to be fair, an iPad mini is considerably smaller. This is the size of a full size iPad when unfolded. And I don't think you're fitting any iPad in your pocket. But given the cost, I think most people would agree with you.

For 20 years, plus or minus, personal computers reversed that idea.

I wonder why I spend $200 a month on my various AI Services for zero positive benefit.

not a good look

I gave all my Apple wealth away because wealth and power are not what I live for. I have a lot of fun and happiness. I funded a lot of important museums and arts groups in San Jose, the city of my birth, and they named a street after me for being good. I now speak publicly and have risen to the top. I have no idea how much I have but after speaking for 20 years it might be $10M plus a couple of homes. I never look for any type of tax dodge. I earn money from my labor and pay something like 55% combined tax on it. I am the happiest person ever. Life to me was never about accomplishment, but about Happiness, which is Smiles minus Frowns. I developed these philosophies when I was 18-20 years old and I never sold out.

If I write software to crawl the internet for enough of the book and then compile it and sell it, is that illegal?

Would you rather it was efficent or effective?

climate science is junk science, so there's that

The same way they are all repaired. Ships pull the cable up and splice them. Actually splicing 24 strands is nothing. That's the least technically difficult part.
