    Offering retailers secret refunds thru offshore (swiss) bank accounts doesnt sound like cost reduction, more like good old bribes ala Intel in ~2000-2005.

  8. Yes, I also watched Techmoan ;-)
    This is not the full picture. It is a fact Japanese manufacturers flooded the world with cheap subsidized electronics in order to take over consumer market segments. EEC measures simply went into effect too late to matter. Limp dick US was too corrupt to do anything, even actual penalties were never enforced.

    Thats not what DNS rebinding is. Impressive for an article to get it wrong while explaining how it works just few lines above :/. You dont "bind" to malicious servers, and you dont "access unintended domains". You contact one domain, and access "unintended" local IPs.

    In our sad reality its cheaper to hire Columbian assassin to kill every current and replacement lawyers working for the patent troll in the span of next couple of years than paying for your own competent legat team and fighting a court battle.
