If I remember correctly the Skype for business still identified as communicator on the about page.

If I'm not having a whoosh moment, the fact they have bases in Ireland and the Netherlands very much sounds like they're operating a Double Irish Dutch Sandwich.

Locost 7 is a generic name for replica Lotus/Caterham 7 type cars that are built by people in garages, there's no centralised body beyond "The Book" the original design came from. As far as I'm aware the book's author has defended the design in court as being too generic to be protectable (which presumably precludes their design being used as a basis to prosecute anyone building something similar).

Most of the cars are built custom to the donor vehicle, taking the original design as a basis, there's 100s of variations online with drawings - none of them are going to be protectable and no-one's really tried in the 30 odd years since the book came out. No-one's published anything with a libre license, I'm not sure if there'd be any point.

Where are the EFF fighting this?

There are definitely open source-ish options. Google locost 7

Ah, my misunderstanding - kernel level anti-cheat is also a bit bizarre tbh, like people really really don't understand the level of control they're handing over to random games companies.

Seriously, personal documents? What in the ever loving fuck. Jeez, no I don't want to play your game so bad I need to prove it with a passport.

My concession here would be wink devices, kindle voyage and an A4 device Fortnite taking. Don't need them, but they are handy AF.

Are you a mechanic, cause that sounds like a decent job perk.

I doubt AI is going to die, it's objectively useful in many cases. We just don't need it absofuckinglutely everywhere.
