They didnt issue a DMCA takedown request, which has a legally prescribed back and forth for removing copyrighted, or assumed copyrighted material.
They instead told the registar itch.io was committing phishing/fraud crimes. The registar clearly knee jerked on being told the domain was engaged in illegal acts, but it was Funko and their vendor Brandshield that lied about that in the first place.
Meanwhile, I've had nothing but trouble with consumer APC and find Cyberpower's bullet proof. Had one that went 10yrs before any issues, and a second with 3+ and counting, no problem.
An alternative to both is the burgeoning battery banks for camping/emergency power. Most of these offer UPS quality switching times, so they can act as a UPS when not in use for an emergency. Ecoflow/ anker solix/etc. A big advantage of these is the battery chemistry is very long lived and much better than UPS lead acid. Dont expect a pure sinewave, but you weren't going to get that from most consumer UPS anyway.
The part that proponents gloss over about the "the market will solve everything" is that people die first. Boeing puts out very bad planes that kill people, then they fail. The cereal company puts arsenic in food and kills people, then they fail, on and on. We know this is how the market works, because that's how it used to work before we regulated it.
The market alone is an executioner, and everyone rallying for it doesnt think they will be next.
You can sue anyone for any reason in the US. It does not mean you will win.
That's also a civil action, not a criminal one. A disagreement in contract law, i.e not something that is illegal.
The actual fiduciary duty executives have is to be beholden to their board and shareholders. They can still decide to make long term and humane choices in guiding their companies. That is their remit, they all just pretend not to have it so they can kill people and destroy lives for personal profit.
It's a fiduciary duty, not a legal one. It's an expected act, but no law says they must maximize profits at any cost.
Its an expectation that can be changed and tempered like any other, but the rich class doesn't want to own up to deciding to destroy people's lives for their profit, so they hand wave and pretend like someone made them do it.
Maybe a few more bullets will debase them of this clearly reckless belief.
You think a nearly trillion dollar public company has an internal division that writes malware against flaws in its own software in order to harvest data from its own apps. It does this to gain just a bit more data about people it already has a lot of data on, because why not purposely leave active zero days in your own software, right?
That is wildly conspiratorial thinking, and honestly plain FUD. It undermines serious, actual privacy issues the company has when you make up wild cabals that are running double secret malware attacks against themselves inside Google.
Anduril is Palmers Luckey "smart" missle/border tower company. Palmers Luckey, the alt right billionaire that sold Oculus to Facebook, whose sister is married to child rapist and former attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz. He has deep ties to alt right billionaire Peter theil, the facebook/paypal billionare, that owns the data harvesting/ai company Palentir that Israel uses to target "enemy combatants".
Theil is an outspoken monarcist who literally believes in an american king and that women should not be allowed to vote. He was the primary donor to Vance senate campaign, and a large reason he was the VP pick.
Agreed. That still doesnt mean google is not doing E2EE for its RCS service.
Im not arguing Google is trustworthy or better than Signal. I'm arguing that E2EE has a specific meaning that most people in this thread do not appear to understand.
So your stance is that Google is applying self designed malware to its own services to violate its own policies to harvest data that could bring intense legal, financial and reputational harm to it as an org it was ever discovered?
You have the key, not the provider. They are explicit about this in the implementation.
They can only read the messages before encryption if they are backdooring all android phones in an act of global sabotage. Pretty high consequences for soke low stakes data.
