    Uh, how do you figure that treating all traffic on the internet the same way locks out competitors?

    You say this as if there's some conspiracy going on. Anyone can read the laws. Google and Facebook are in favor of it because they don't want to be charged twice by ISPs.

    What more do you think it is?

    Oh, not very effective then. I've never seen amber alerts here for that kind of situation.

    > The day I recieve one of these, I will not only disable it (or ditch the phone for telephony entirely and go full IP and mute everything else),

    This is actually what I do. Due to the high cost of cell service in Canada, I have a cheap data only plan meant for tablets, and I use voip for voice.

    I still got the alerts.

    Amber alerts are issued immediately, not days after.

    If we get to the point where an AI robot can perform electrical old work in a 50+ year old building, then nobody is going to have a job, and we have bigger economical problems.

    You do realize this wasn't a car accident, right? Wearing seatbelts is compulsory in all of the US.

    It is only compulsory on a plane when the crew tell you to, such as during takeoff and landing, and if they indicate during turbulence. Otherwise you can get up and move around.

  19. Re:Counterfeit screen? on Apple Sued an Independent iPhone Repair Shop Owner and Lost (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Here's a google translate of a norwegian article:

    In the judgment, TÃnnesen writes that Huseby does not "use" Apple's trademark because he does not claim in his marketing or to customers that it is a matter of unused original parts. The logos that are applied to the parts can also not be removed without damaging the components, hence, sladding is the only way to hide the logo.

    Since internal components are concerned, the logos will never be displayed to the customers, and the court found no reason to believe that Huseby removed the bill and took out the logos after the goods were cleared.

    It is also a key point in the judgment that Huseby can not purchase original spare parts since Apple does not sell it to anyone other than itself and authorized workshops.

    "sladding" doesn't make sense, but further up the article it talks about "blotting out" the logo. Anyways, I think the judgement was correct.

    Because that screen has chips with microcode owned/copyrighted/patented by Apple installed on it.

    No, "knowingly allows the use" does not imply intent or deliberate action, it only implies knowledge of the action. Apple knows this is happening, and they haven't stopped.
