  • The problem is that you don’t own the right to use your own device the way you see fit, and are instead locked into systems you can’t escape from.

    You should be able to freely install the software you like, be that an OS, a third party app or even your own program, and you should be able to use all the features of your devices, freely, without being locked out due to the app or accessory not being first party.


  • the manufacturer of the chip making machine is based in the EU therefore no one can pull out

    This has nothing to do with anything, really. It’s not like, because I don’t sell in the US I can’t use American made steel or something.

    The actual reason why Apple, and every other company, doesn’t want to leave the EU (China for that matter) despite increasingly stringent regulations, it’s because the EU represents a huge portion of their revenue and leaving would mean losing billions upon billions, all in the hopes of saving millions.






  • If I were CEO, I’d cut/sell any part of the business that doesn’t directly support CPU and GPU sales, which is basically what Intel is doing.

    That’s pretty much what they did. They sold off most of the “other” stuff, like their modem division, shut down their SSD division, sold part of Mobileye shares in the IPO, and reportedly Intel is looking to sell part of Altera, their FPGA division.



  • Regardless of the legality of the action or the product itself, a video reviewing, showing or reporting on it shouldn’t be passable of a copyright claim.

    Even if the video shows copyrighted material, it still shouldn’t be allowed for Nintendo to claim it, as that would fall under fair use. Just showing a few screenshots of a video game for the purposes of education in an otherwise unrelated video would never fall under copyright infringement.

    The piracy argument has nothing to do with Nintendo claiming a video as their own, despite them having no rights to do so.






  • A. That’s not what you said. Normalization of relationship doesn’t mean subjugation

    B. If the CCP wanted normalization they wouldn’t be talking about invading Taiwan. They’d be saying “we’re fine with Taiwan existing as their own nation we’re willing to recognize them and sign a peace treaty if they do the same with us”. That’s normalization

    C. You’re blaming the victim rather than the aggressor. The CCP are the ones saying they’ll invade, Taiwan are the ones saying they’ll defend themselves. It’s like blaming the Palestinians for Israel’s invasion
