If it's effort, virtually nobody does it. Convenience is king since the beginning of the internet.

How would the US JD break up a Swiss corp?

The iPhone is great from a design and hardware perspective. I just hate iOS, their stock apps, app pricing and the cultish community. So I wouldn't mind an iPhone clone running Android.

I can't stand parents anymore

Anymore? They are literally government enforced monopolies. Monopolies are always great for that single company and the consumer pays the price.

Their intent to protect the lone inventor from evil corporations hasn't been relevant at least in our lifetimes - it's always just corp/troll holding the patent.

Yes, but pirated software is also an incredibly simple attack vector.

I can buy almost everything with cash but with shitcoins I can only pay ransom. And the FBI probably won't agree there's virtually no online crime.

Its supposed benefits are vastly overshadowed by their only practical application: allowing online crime to flourish.

We don't argue anything. We just cannot understand how an adult human still needs their imaginary friends to cope.

Only if you're sensitive to caffeine.

My sister would feel the difference because her heart goes nuts if she has regular coffee. I wouldn't since I'm an addict with high tolerance. Maybe the headache around noon would make me suspicious but probably not.

They still sold more of it, easily making up for the slightly higher cost.

That's pretty much the plot of the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It's about the original protagonists' kids and time travel (and it's written by Rowling, so it's canon).

Not to spoil anything I think anyone can guess that time travel part doesn't exactly work out as expected.
