If your business is incapable of existing without breaking the law then the obvious answer is that your business should not exist. How is this even a question? In the past EVERY company that flaunted copyright has been bankrupted but now with companies doing it en masse it's suddenly OK?

I'm calling bullshit on all of these companies. If you want to reform copyright then do it like all the other businesses have, buy a congressman because you aren't special.

Most of your information is correct, but there is no mystery as to how he tripped or the quantity. He took the LSD off of the shelf it had been sitting on for 5 years, and ate what he thought was a small dose ... 500 micrograms IIRC. It was fast more than 25 mics. You can easily conclude that if you read his book or the diary entries of his bicycle ride when tripping.

And you just expect me to put aside my preconceived notions and biases in favor of objective analysis? How rude! /s

Welcome to the world of disinformation. It's pretty obvious that this is a farce and a hoax.

The link works fine, so you likely don't know how to operate the link, as you freely admitted.

Is that actually a response to law enforcement's growing success or have they simply found that using a bunch of hacked devices that companies have abandoned is a better option?

To me, it seems like it has the distinct advantage of being better suited of the purpose and addition to being beyond anyone's reach. Law enforcement may not even be a real consideration here.

I'm confused as to why you are dismissing SMRs as mere toys. There are a diverse number of SMRs designs that generate between 20 MW and 300 MW. Depending on how you want to deploy, you can have many sites (greater redundancy and fewer substations) or you can put several in a central location and be generate power on par with a normal large-scale reactor. They are also designed to be far simpler to manage.

No one supports Android phones the way Apple supports iPhones.

There is no "Genius Bar".

You're on your own. Got a problem with malware? Factory reset, or buy a new phone.

Because once their iPhones are infested with sideloaded malware, customers call Apple tech support and bring it to the "Genius Bar" at the Apple Store, and blame Apple for the problems.

Apple incurs costs and a hit to its image.

Apple can't just say, "You were stupid and now you've voided your warranty," because EU law doesn't let them say that.

Indeed. Intel's founders included many of the Traitorous Eight.

But they're not "starting over". They're using RISC-V, which is a mature instruction set with existing toolchains.

What monopoly?

Lately, Intel has been a crushee, not a crusher.

Better aerodynamics? That's an assumption not born out by the evidence. The Hummer is not particularlyaerodynamic. SUV's are not nearly as aerodynamic as almost all cars from the late 60's and 70's.

It's possible English is your second language. In this case mosquito refers to all of them. It's like if someone says "Ford, please stop making the Mustang." It's a class of car or in this case insect, rather than a particular mosquito or strain of them.
