I care little about that at this point to be honest with you ...

The alternative is that these innovating companies would have milked the IP and/or shelved it if it means more money, fuck the people, fuck the environment, etc etc etc

If China's IP theft brings the green revolution we knew we needed 50 years ago but the innovators sabotaged for profit, I'd consider China the robin Hood of the story

As bad and lame as their new sponsor's product ...

🤮🤮🤮

Agreed... However I want to point out that in this case they are to return the revenue plus $100k fine. The fact they went after revenue (not profit) leaves Razer to carry the bag for the cost of production and distribution of the fraudulent crap they peddled.

This should be the deafult... In egregious cases, a fine should be applied on a multiplier basis, that is, your revenue is $1 million, you get a fine of x0.5 so you now must return $1.5 million... Eat the cost of all the stuff plus $500,000 fine (for example)

If the fraud was criminal, then do the fines AND include jail time

Basically, skirting or breaking the law should be a scary proposition... Presenting a shady business plan internally should result in people getting fired on the spot

Good to know, thanks for the answer

I've heard this so many times... It's now like the cure for cancer we find every 6 months

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure we are making progress but I'm tired of "just around the corner" meaning 15 years down the road.

We don't yet have fully self driving trains, on tracks, I can't believe trucks will be first

As long as they can work independently, yes. If they are modular and a distro admin (or just a computer admin) can choose to install and use systemd-x but not install or use systemd-y, we are in good business

Now if you have to take a few you don't like or need to use so that the one component you do want works, then no

I honestly don't know enough of systemd to say either way

Hopefully the response is "the USA is basically 110% hypocritical here having actually intervened and destroyed the democracy of many countries before"

I've said many times.bfore I agree the Chinese government is bad and cannot be trusted, but let's pretend the USA government is trust worthy

Nothing but Chinese shills or boys here. It’s wild anyone is stupid enough to say this

All I see here are people who can't read critically and whose brains seem to only work on fallacies

Thanks for being brave enough to ask the question I was too cowardly to post

Not to defend Musk here but tinkering for the sake of saying you make a change is exactly the kind of consumerism junk we should avoid

There wouldn't be a problem with year and part numbers if they didn't arbitrarily changed it just to be able to market the "all new" cuz

I have a Prius and it's a pita for parts because some refer to it by year, some by generation, some by trim (even if the part has nothing to do with the trim, etc)

I would love to just be able to say Prius gen 4 and be done

So they sell data for money, to people who wanted to influence an election .... But you see that as different?

To do both... But keep your head in the sand as long as you want

So it's ok when Republicans undermine democracy... As long as they are not Chinese, got it
