They also removed the headphone jack from the phone, so it doesn't really count. Airpods followed the Sony approach: telling your captive audience they will buy the thing or suffer.

Yeah but that's just marketing bullshit, just like how in real life, (normal and attractive) people don't pull out a Nintendo Switch and pass around joycons to play Mario Kart on the phablet-sized screen at trendy rooftop cocktail parties.

Yes.

I am aware that this would kill SaaS overnight, that's an intended feature.

Sure, but there's basically no tactical value for a surface-to-air weapon compared to the expense both of the platform and of safe storage expenses. The only practical application a typical homeowner would have is interdicting invasive drones, in which case you're better off with good old fashioned birdshot. The upside of a man-portable surface-to-surface platform like the Javelin is that it allows a gunner stationed in the bed of your pickup to selectively target and eliminate people who can't merge without even slowing down.

A law like this would effectively kill all licensed software that isn’t a full product

What I'm hearing is: this law needs to be a constitutional amendment.

Maybe not a Tomahawk, but look at the existence of the Cybertruck and tell me I don't need a personal Javelin

Don't forget to take a picture of an abandoned building through a chain link fence, and a picture of a child letting go of a balloon

Yeah, it separated the wheat from the chaff. Janeway did nothing wrong.

I found Andor to be shallow and pedantic.

...Either that or I'm so sick of Star Wars I just couldn't stand it. I tried three times to get more than 15 minutes in without falling asleep or zoning out, couldn't do it.
