So to get big, I need to buy one of those 1960s machines with the rubber belt that goes around your waist and shakes you back and forth? No wonder I haven't been seeing those gains.

Even if that's the case, how is it Crowdstrike's place to call these other companies out for claiming something similar will never happen to them? Thus far, it had only ever happened to CS.

Isn't that why they wear the white uniforms, since it blends in better?

The former was bought with stock from the latter and possibly needs more funding via stock sales from Tesla to stay running since they lost their advertisers.

Considering how many corporations rely on VPNs for their workers, I don't think this would gain much traction.

Oh it's good they have the "Messages" and "Calls" buttons right there for easy access since so many people message or call my desktop PC.

Imagine that Uber Eats bill.

I though I read they're currently housed in the ISS so they should have reserves. I initially thought they were stuck in their launch vehicle.

I think I got the two mixed up then. Regardless (I'm probably preaching to the choir), this seems like a ridiculous lawsuit and I hope they get sent packing.

They're saying you can pirate a copy from the high seas to keep on Plex/Jellyfin but pay for a digital copy in order to pay the artists/studios. You won't want to rely on Prime Video to actually store or watch your purchases because it'll be disappointing in both regards.

Often times on this sub there's always an alternative being proposed, so I'm a bit shocked that this time most of the answers are simply "no".

That's simply because we can make our own rules and don't have to abide by the terms IP holders set. Studios won't give out DRM free media because then you can just copy it and share it online easily. That's not to say you can't already do that with current media, but there are 'barriers' in place along with laws against it.

As far as paying artists, with regards to TV and movies, who would you even pay of the hundreds/thousands of people that it takes to create them?

I hope it gets tossed out of court considering companies have been freely using these patents for years and their just now going after someone because Bambu has been so much more successful than a lot of the cottage-type companies who'd previously been building most printers. You can't simply wait for a big fish to decide to start enforcing your patent rights because by then it's been used to much without any push back that you've effectively given up the rights.
