Yes, I was also wondering why the "Texas-based supplier" was not also dragged to court, as I think they should also not be allowed to sell it like they did.

I also assume those labels do not come with any further legal material - so you are left to find out the rules in the masterful maze of Microsoft documentation!

Not saying she did nothing wrong - but I can also see how this can very easily be a honest mistake to think that it is a legal way to sell what appears to be "legal" product keys.

We already see the effect from Microslop on how bad the software quality is when AI is involved (to mention one example), but I don't think we have seen what the cost to overall productivity is... or even how to relate and quantify it in terms of productivity. My gut feeling is that a lot of people will soon be required to fix all the damage caused by AI. We may only be at the very early stages of that phase. Either way - this must surely be a big productivity killer (wasted effort).

There are so many challenges to overcome first, and I just fail to see how that is possible before 2040. Just in terms of the electric grid and knowing how long these projects take, they should have already started building by now if they want to be ready by 2040. This is not happening now, so just on that one single example there will be already a huge challenge. So, even though electric cars might be cheaper to buy, they may be very unpractical to use. Also, there is a reason why vehicles like the Toyota Land Cruiser are so popular - they last forever, and can be serviced with a piece of wire, pliers and a hammer. If you can't get the same reliability and ease of maintenance from electric vehicles, then just forget about it.
