Recycled plastic is also inferior quality with worse structural properties so it’s not really suitable for many applications.

That’s absolutely not true. Bluetooth has many “profiles” which define different capabilities. Here’s a list of them. These are all defined in the official bluetooth standards.
Maybe you were thinking of the “core specification” which defines the underlying protocol but doesn’t define the profiles? But that’s just the way they broke up the spec documents. The profiles are still official parts of bluetooth.
Apple’s proprietary extensions for audio are not part of any official specification though.
They took them in 2020 while they were pulling out of Russia, not recently.
To be fair, the seizure happened back in 2020 when companies were still in the process of removing themselves from Russia. And it happened in retaliation for google complying with international sanctions against Russia.
They’re important details. And you would have seen them in the article if you’d read it.
Not in reliability…
But they’re probably still selling more CPUs to your average buyer who always buys Intel, doesn’t read tech news and never even heard about the controversy.
Until recently they were recommending Intel CPUs over AMD at the low end, saying they provided better value for money in that segment. And they used to recommend Intel processors for gaming, back when they had the gaming crown.
Intel didn’t actually manufacture the chips.
The chips with the oxidisation issue were manufactured by Intel at their Arizona fab plant.
I saw another study which said vaccines reduced long covid by up to 50% depending on which strain it was.
Get Rainbolt to have a look and he’ll tell you exactly where it was shot in just a few minutes.
As someone from a not-US country, I’m always amazed at how right wing the US “liberal” policies are. If Biden was our PM he’d be more right wing than our most recent conservative PM.
worse than regular recycling of plastic
In case people don’t know why it’s worse - it uses a lot more energy to do pyrolysis than it does to just make new plastic. It’s bad enough that it’s worse for the environment than just making new plastic.
In any case no plastics recycler has any intention of doing this except in “pilot studies”. It’s a dead duck and everyone in the industry knows it. As /u/SeaJ said, it’s just PR.
They wanted to make an example of someone. His thumbing his nose at the US government was well publicised, so they made their revenge on him very public too.
I think about 18 billion of that was me
I wonder how many thousands of people died as a result.
They’re not wrong that democracy’s under threat. But maybe the threat’s from the guy who has literally said he’s going to murder political opponents - y’know, the guy they support.
Remember the time - two days ago - when Trump said he was going to ban all electric cars? I wonder how Elon feels about that.
Celebrities get wide latitude to protect themselves from imitators. Impressionists can do “satire” etc. but this isn’t that. It’s explicitly a reference to her voice in the movie, and as such she’s protected by law from them going around her and hiring someone else to imitate her.
It was explicitly represented as her voice when he tweeted “Her” in relation to the product, referencing a movie which she voiced. It’s not a legal grey area in the US. He sank his own ship here.
He tweeted “Her”, which explicitly tells us it’s a deliberate imitation of Scarlett’s voice in that movie. And he tried to negotiate licencing her famous voice, which she rejected.
So it’s more than just a coincidence, it’s deliberate bad faith behaviour. Legally you can’t misrepresent a product as being from a famous person when it wasn’t, and he very much did that. I guess he was hoping she’d give in and accept the licensing agreement post-facto. But instead it looks he’s in legal deep water now.
Most likely it was counterfeit radios. The batteries in decade old Icom radios would probably be dead by now.
