Retards might not have noticed but geofences and physical fences fulfill slightly different needs...
A TikTok-edumucated audience, doesn't...
The real question is it cheaper and easier to slap a collar on something than put up fences, train dogs, and hunt down strays.
Cattle ranchers seldom rely on dogs anymore - and they're still going to need fences.
This is why almost every platform for Internet services DOES NOT USE Microsoft software.
This is just plain not true. Microsoft has about 1/4 of the global cloud computing market and, if nothing else, the number of things that just use Entra for auth is insane. I'm not suggesting this is a good thing, I'm just saying your claim that Microsoft is some kind of edge case in "internet service" is ridiculous.
... let's make off with their TV!
"No user serviceable parts inside"
Or, in simple English, repair requires skill, training, knowledge, some combination of the three, beyond that a regular and common user would possess.
It also works, in the real world, to identify some product that can not, in fact, be repaired at the component level, either due to physical reality (epoxy potted components come to mind) or the manufacturer's inability to source the required components (third-part complex parts, I could offer examples which should be obvious to anyone able to make an argument from knowledge).
Sometimes this is more a statement of reality than an attempt at obfuscation. 'cause some stuff cannot be 'fixed', and the average user would not even understand why.
Disclaimer - I fully support Right to Repair. I also acknowledge the reality that some stuff is really difficult. And in the example from TFA, We are generally talking about equipment that is not so much 'repaired' as either replaced at the subassembly level, or more likely, in the example, problem-solved in software. You want the right to repair your router's software? Or just access to it after the explicit agreement or arbitrary agreement with the manufacturer says no? As in, you paid for support during the warranty period, but after that expired, the manufacturer soon abandoned software support...? Read the EULA. Ask the State to force them to do whatever the State decided to do. Watch innovation die.
"So, let the companies retain their monopoly over repair and then regulate that repair business"
Your solution is the highest abuse of rent-seeking for the ostensible purpose of 'making things right'.
And this is how government destroys our lives, beyond even the efforts of 'those evil corporations' that are assumed to exit merely to exploit us.
Your proposal is the opposite of liberty. It substitutes the State for the Corporation. And diminishes us further with no benefit, because the State will act in its own interest. The solution is less of the State, more of the individual. Right to Repair does this better than regulating repair.
How do you know that the Candida (or whatever else) you're most assuredly harboring hasn't already been equipped with similar features? TPTB no longer needs to wait for outbreaks of ergot to sit back and watch society get stupid.
Oh, and I forgot one thing. Iran is quite proud of the amount of enriched uranium it already has, which has reached the point where it would take less than weeks, perhaps to enrich it to weapons grade. If you were paying attention, you could be confused as to why Iran has any enriched uranium that approaches weapons grade, when it's previously agreed not to do so, that it was sanctioned for doing so, and now it claims it has a right to do so in opposition to widespread agreement that it should not by other nations. By its own words. It's telling you that sanctions weren't effective and that they were ignored or subverted. You wanted evidence, listen to Iran's leadership itself if you would.

There is more.
If you were more informed about history you would know that not only did Iran ignore the sanctions and agreements, they expelled inspectors and refused to permit follow up inspections as mandated by the agreements they signed.
And many of the dispute resolution mechanisms were subverted or diverted by the other parties involved, the UN and European nations in particular.
This is so widely known that i challenge you to provide evidence of Iran's compliance. But if you cannot, then consider they did not comply in meaningful ways.
I doubt you will. Try again.
Preaze - no brue screen of desu kudasai.
People giving up their thinking abilities is nothing new.
Oh please. The enforcement mechanisms were subverted and ignored by Iran right along. They kept throwing the investigators and monitors out of the country. You could at least be serious and deal with the facts please
System checkpoint complete.
