Boeing is a national strategic asset, even if its commercial airliners ended up in the toilet the DoD would keep it alive on gov contracts alone

In the EU at least, companies can say whatever they want in their ToS, it doesn't change the fact that you legally own your digital games
Chopping the heads off the hydra will kill it this time, for sure
"average household around Reagan National makes 3 noise complaints a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average household makes 0 complaints per year. Noise Complaints Georg, who lives in house at end of runway & makes over 19 noise complaints each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Reverse engineering software (and even using small bits of proprietary code when required) in order to make it compatible with other hardware is fully legal (tons of precedent, for emulation specifically see Sega v Accolade and Sony v Connectix), and selling emulators commercially is also fully legal (Sega v Connectix was about a commercial Playstation emulator for the Mac, Sony v Bleem was about a commercial emulator for the PC and Dreamcast)
Nintendo's legal claims against Yuzu are completely untested and dubious at best, it's the threat of spending millions of dollars on lawyers that's very real and effective, they are yet again simply weaponizing the courts and the DMCA like all the other corpo scum before them
I can't tell you how many times I've looked up some feature or low-priority bug only to find the answer is "there's a PR for this that will be added in 10.9", commented like a year ago, glad to see the future plan is more frequent but smaller feature releases!
Don't underestimate how dumb and greedy corpos can be
If I ever have a device connecting to open networks by itself I'm snipping its wifi antenna
No, we're going from "a different cable for every device" to "a different cable for every device but you need a label maker because they all look the same", and you're going to like it
At this point I just refuse to ever connect smart TVs to wifi, it's not worth it
Thinking about it, it's not just peacetime military contracts, the entire company is a national security asset
I doubt the gov would ever actually let Boeing's domestic commercial airliner market share decline too far because they need the engineering capabilities and the production capacity left intact just in case we ever suddenly find ourselves at war, they'd just place tariffs on Airbus airframes until production is where they want it
