I suspect the problem is there isn't anything really illegal about it, it's just unethical from the EFF's point of view. Unfortunately for them, ethics is something subjective and large corporations generally don't have.
All they can do is try and raise outrage on the consumer/government level and hope it's enough to get Google to change.
For someone who railed against the "mainstream media", it's surprising that Trump would support a policy allowing the largest media companies to become even larger.
No, it not. Trump doing the opposite of what he said at an earlier time is completely expected now by me.
Err...why would anyone need a bag of stuff to juice?
It is so simple (and I'm guessing more economical) to go to the grocery store and get some veggies and/or fruits and throw down a regular juicer.
You're talking about a kitchen appliance at a time people feel the need to brew coffee one cup at a time from individually portioned filter cups at a cost of 10x just buying a normal container of ground coffee. Never underestimate the millennial's need to be lazy/feel special.
He's 73 years old and has been in public office since 1979.
Correction: He's been in Congress since '79, but he was in the Wisconsin State Assembly before then, since 1969. So personal (as in micro-) computers were barely even a thing when he got on the gravy train. Why the hell was this guy the Chairman of the House Committee on Science and Technology anyway?
Truly. He's 73 years old and has been in public office since 1979. In other words, he got where he needed to be in life before computers were even common in the home. Of course he doesn't think the internet is important -- he's never had to look for a job in the 21st Century and most of his friends likely don't use the Internet beyond email and Facebook.
I'd buy an EV pickup in a heartbeat. My daily driver is a pickup and I'd happily replace it with an EV if one was good enough. All sorts of advantages to electrification of a truck. Tons of torque, electric power on tap to run power tools, more cargo space, fuel efficiency, etc. What's not to love? Though I have to admit that in many cases a hybrid pickup might make more sense especially as a work truck.
Yup, you could fit some nice long batteries under the bed of an electric pickup, especially with no exhaust or drive linkage (individual motors on wheels would make four-wheel drive a few lines of code). The "more cargo space" would be even better than that -- you'd get something sorely missing on most pickups: an enclosed locking trunk space like a car has, via the front hood no longer having an engine. Now you have someplace to store more expensive tools.
Tesla cars have nothing in the front but an extra trunk. A Tesla tractor-trailer rig could fill the space traditionally used for the engine with additional battery capacity.
While piracy has given the appearance of the balance of power being with the latter group, it really never has been. Until our culture and laws change, it never will be.
The problem can be summarized as the government is failing to represent the people in this case. When piracy is so commonplace that most people do not really view it as a crime, then there is a disconnect happening. Laws for civilizations are supposed to reflect common values shared by people of the society, but in this case they are only reflecting the wishes of a few "people" (corporations).
It doesn't matter if Edge is more battery efficient if it's less time efficient to use it. The extra laptop run time till be lost in having to spend more time to do the same tasks because of lack of add-ons/familiarity with the software. Not to mention that would cost me real world time I could be doing stuff besides the activity that required web browsing to start with.
Except the ones who get an allowance. Or ones who get lots of checks from relatives for birthdays/holidays. Or have part-time jobs* Or are part of rich families that will buy them whatever they want.

Also, even if Plex can't record, doesn't mean you can't use Plex to enjoy recorded shows. Plex isn't a torrent client either, but that doesn't stop me from having my torrent client use a folder that Plex has in one of its libraries, so it automatically updates with the listings/metadata of the files the torrent client has independently downloaded.
You could do something similar with a PVR app. All it has to do is name the recordings to reflect the show name and season/episode number so Plex recognizes what the files are.

that will stop it from installing duplicate stories?
Chickens are frequently fed soybean meal so maybe they drew the wrong conclusions from DNA tests...
Yeah, I don't think that's how the digestive system works.
You're taking that saying "you are what you eat" a little too literally.

Decimate: Kill one in every ten
That doesn't sound very useful.
I dunno. Mozilla seems to think it's great version 53 is going to decimate the number of crashes Firefox has.

Wouldn't Facebook rather figure out a way for people to just pick strings of emoji to send to each other.
I'm guessing McDonald's discontinued those job application kiosks they had in some restaurants.

I would say Slashdot operates on pothead time, but that would only be an offset of a couple hours.
Yeah, I thought the exploit was named Magneto, and was looking for some X-Men reference in what it did.
One time (actually the last time) I turned it off but the blinky lights on front said it was still on.
I called Comcast and their support "turned" it off but the blinky wifi lights were still doing their thing. Nope. Don't believe 'em.
Was it too difficult to look at your devices and see if the network was actually still appearing?

I see even a month is too long for our memories now.

By the time the 12 months expires there wont be any IPv4 addresses left to give them.

Piracy is not theft. Nor is murder, jaywalking, trespass, or driving while using a mobile phone.
Murder is not theft? Arguably you are taking someone's life, and denying them the right to use it themselves.

Teens have zero money.
Except the ones who get an allowance.
Or ones who get lots of checks from relatives for birthdays/holidays.
Or have part-time jobs*
Or are part of rich families that will buy them whatever they want.

First Plex cant record.
Who said anything about Plex?
Also, even if Plex can't record, doesn't mean you can't use Plex to enjoy recorded shows.
Plex isn't a torrent client either, but that doesn't stop me from having my torrent client use a folder that Plex has in one of its libraries, so it automatically updates with the listings/metadata of the files the torrent client has independently downloaded.

That would be great.
But anything that is going to restrict the usage of other features/media, that's not going to work.
Won't upgrade unless it's forced on me.
Can they do that now?
Not sure if asking a rhetorical question, or truly doesn't know...
Now any household object, and even the building itself can be a data storage device......
I hate to move. My old house is full of so many old memories ...and I have nothing to back them up to.
