Our scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

It’s a reasonable question. There are countless devices using esp32 chips which do not use the Bluetooth parts of the chip at all.

I just sucked it up and paid for Infuse Pro and now my Apple TV experience with Jellyfin is great

I think maybe you also forgot that it’s important to say what you mean if you want to be understood.

How do you get from there to your theory that “most people” buying these drives will be consumer pirates and not enterprise customers. That’s where you lose everyone.

Downvoting sounds like a task that’s ripe for automation with AI!

This isn’t advertising, it’s tribute.

One of those exceptions is to be 65 years or older. Guess who that disproportionately benefits?

Profit is created from the output of productive labor. The amount of profit varies depending on the efficiency of the market and the company.

Companies are force multipliers for labor. The company’s profit comes from that force mulitplication, not by withholding profit from the worker who generated it.

Profit can only be made by exploiting labour. There can’t be any other way

This is a bad take and suffers from overly-simplistic thinking. Corporations are force multipliers for labor and the economic value of your labor is increased by joining forces with others.

. . . increasing inequality, fueling injustice, destroying the planet, etc.

This is such an astute and accurate description of crypto and mining. You are a textbook example of projection.

DMCA was designed to prevent intellectual property infringement, not as a censorship tool.

You could generate a revocation key and then encrypt for multiple people using Shamir’s secret sharing.

Look into ssss and gfshare, the latter explicitly discusses this use of the algorithm.

And now guyrocket is too embarrassed to admit they thought they were making a funny joke and didn’t realize they were 32 years too late to the punchline.
