No IP laws for them and the death penalty for us.

You can use a battery powered device without the battery plugged in. I’ve never built capacitor bank for a more modern mobile device but its probably possible with off the shelf boards. The last one I built was years ago for a dentist office. It was a mp3 player they used for the hold music. Pulled the bad battery and built a fairly small capacitor bank. The only complication was getting the right resister for the third terminal. In the case of the mp3 player it was a temperature sensor. Modern phones use this channel to communicate battery info which might complicate things a bit.

Negative IQ points?

I started to short them last month. Oh well. I knew all this anti free speech stuff is hurting them. They are only retaining the sycophants and the clueless niche people who never go out of their little bubble.

Nothing morally wrong with working around a artificial limitation.

Wireguard so you are always seen as being on the local network. This bit of assholery is easily defeated.

Came here to say something like this. Its clear that we will not get anything that benefits the real citizens.

Fine by me. Can it be over today?

No corporation has ever been anything other than a dictatorship. They are the least democratic of institutions. Why do people think any differently?
