I actually subscribe to NBC's streaming service and I made a deliberate decision not to watch any Winter Olympics coverage, to help tank viewer numbers.
Before that I was disappointed with NBC's Summer Olympics coverage, because despite the supposed flexibility and variety of streaming, the sports I was interested in had only a handful of episodes buried under a pile of fluff over gymnastics,track and basketball. I think I got more sprint kayak coverage in 1992 with my VCR
The logical conclusion is that the Boston Police and all neighboring police agencies should be gang members and all of the family friends and acquaintances should be known gang associates since the largest, most heavily armed and violent gang in any major US city is the police department.
Since Congress is often described as a market for buying and selling legislative services Cotton and Klobuchar are merely following the tradition of such eminent Senators as Henry Jackson D - Boeing, Bod Dole R - Archer Daniels Midland , and Joe Biden D - Mastercard. So they are now Cotton R - Walmart and Klobuchar D - Target.
Tesla takes the heat because Tesla calls its SAE level 2 driver assist "Full Self Driving" while GM calls its Level 2 system Blue Cruise, because level 2 is basically a fancy cruise control, while actual self driving is SAE level 5. which is several orders of magnitude beyond anything Tesla has released.
For the amount of BS being flung around the judge should have started with an Order to Show Cause and moved straight on to dismissal with prejudice, sanctions and Bar disciplinary referrals.
At least the mountain bike commentary didn't have Phil Liggett talking. I signed up for Peacock premium partly to replace my NBC Sports Gold cycling stream. The,setup on a Roku was a major PITA and navigation for gymnastics coverage was garbage. On the bright side for $5 I do get all the cycling, kayaking and shooting coverage that never makes prime time. NBC still sucks 12" hg but streaming sucks only 10" hg.
Time to sue the drug test makers into oblivion. Since they don't have qualified immunity or tax dollars they have an incentive to stop making garbage field tests, unlike the pigs who want false positives to line their pockets with sweet forfeiture dollars.
Since the default settings of the WSJ are "greed is good", "monetize everything", and "I am rich so I am wise in all things" that this article is clueless, scare mongering, and favors monopoly power is about as surprising as the sun rising in the east.
That the author believes we are gullible rubes is also typical.
This is why I like co-ops, they answer to ratepayers rather than hedge funds and focus on services rather than bonuses. The first 100 Mbps service I saw was from a rural telephone co-op in 2014. I wish my electricity co-op did Internet
If Twitter is blocking copyright critics Techdirt will be next. I'm glad I never signed up so I never gave Jack Dorsey any revenue.
Iam also appalled but unsurprised at the use of BS "counterfeit goods "as the excuse for banning
Since it appears that certain individuals in the school district are pursuing this action out of butt hurt rather than any sort of logic the taxpayers should be suing them for wasting money, not mention starting a recall petition for every elected official in the school district
Big Sur has also made IT support a massive headache by effectively locking out patching and remote control tools like Connectwise Automate and also breaking anti-virus software. Sophos Endpoint is still not compatible although they are working on it. Apple has doubled down on the walled garden and made enterprise use even harder.
Iam reminded of the old userfriendly "chained to the oars" cartoon about Windows XP activation failing. There is clearly a market for something that simply runs off a small embedded system, but that would cut off the recurring revenue gold mine
When I canceled cable TV I had to schedule a service call to remove the box. Canceling a streaming service only takes a few clicks. The pain may come sooner, as will discounts. My cable company sends me an offer every few months to bundle TV with my Internet for the same price. Either they are desperate to raise subscriber numbers or my Internet price is a rip off. Either way I have held the line and neither restored cable nor added more streaming services.

Claiming a non-existent debt and threatening your credit score seems like a blatant violation of FDCP and worthy of civil and criminal penalties.
Re: Bovine excrement
Minor correction, GO'S system is Super Cruise, Blue Cruise is Ford's Level 2 offering, note that neither company so much as whisper "self driving".
Bovine excrement
Tesla takes the heat because Tesla calls its SAE level 2 driver assist "Full Self Driving" while GM calls its Level 2 system Blue Cruise, because level 2 is basically a fancy cruise control, while actual self driving is SAE level 5. which is several orders of magnitude beyond anything Tesla has released.
Mistrial is too lenient

This is a classic example of the,adage that if you aren't paying for the product you are the product.
It could be worse

Can we also address the false advertising inherent in calling a mixture of water, grain, and sugar "milk" when it doesn't come from a mammal.
That comes under truth in advertising rather than trademark but there has been lobbying and the occasional lawsuit from the dairy farmers.

Action for misuse of public funds?

Pro bike racer Charles Planet is probably très en colère that someone trademarked his name

Sacha Baron Cohen is having his Leona Helmsley moment. He thought content moderation was for the little people.
