It's different when you have a contract with a company that goes bankrupt. You get screwed in that case. Vmware didn't go bankrupt and I see no reason why Broadcom should be able to buy the company but not have to take over all the obligations including the service contracts. This should be an easy win for Tesco and if Broadcom tries to do this to USA based customers, Broadcom should lose in USA courts too.

It may be, but it shouldn't be. Because many of the "solar company" bankruptcies were planned from day 1: Sell loans by marketing an unsustainable business model, loot profits from origination fees, "go bankrupt". Maybe even buy up those loans in the"bankruptcy" of the "solar company" by a company you opwn/have interst in! It's win, win, win for the scammers and all losing for the sucker homeowners.

Nobody is buying a vanilla android phone and using it as delivered to not use any Google services. If they want that they are at least reflashing, if not buying a phone with an alternate android on it... Which moto claims they will soon offer. Not holding my breath though

The U.S. Department of Justice can now set up a cutout and try to buy that data as part of a criminal investigation and sting operation.

Instead they will buy that data as part of an investigation in to who's getting abortions. You forgot who's running this country, they're not interested in catching criminals. That's difficult and expensive compared to declaring victory.

Artificial Intelligence will lead to labour shortages, not the replacement of humans, [...] One goal of space exploration is to move polluting industries off Earth, said Bezos, whose Blue Origin aims to compete with trillionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX in rockets.

Space exploration, which is *checks notes* much better done by automated systems less fragile than us meatbags. Space manufacturing, same. So he waves around an irrelevant distraction and we're supposed to suck on it? We're not that fucking stupid, Temu Lex Luther.

It may be that you define their pre-installed apps as not crapware, but that's a judgement call, not a statement of technical fact.

Oh no! You can't remove... *checks* the app for moto actions, and an app for notifications!

What I'm talking about is bundled apps like Faceboot. They can be removed.

You don't even buy a Moto phone unless you want Moto actions, so yeah it's a judgement call, but if you already made the call to buy Moto, then you've already made the other call as well.

Bigger problem, copyright was never meant to last so long. As technology has advanced it becomes possible to make more media more quickly, so if anything copyright terms should have been shrunk, but they've been extended instead.

The single most important thing to fix about copyright is reducing the terms.
