Samsung's latest update is a serious gut punch to Galaxy power users

The only answer is regulation. We need laws that say, if you own a device, you can do anything you want to it, including wipe it, hack it, resell it, etc.

If they want to control your device, or lease it to you provided you pay a monthly fee, etc, they need to say "Lease", "Rent" or similar, not buy.

And they shouldn't be able to void your warranty for it - voids should be limited to the parts of the device you mess with. Like, if you flash your phone, they should be able to say, we can't give you support, including how to re-install the original OS...but if your battery fails and it shocks you, they should have to replace the battery under a warranty.

We also need laws that say, if you pay for a device, that device itself, can't have ads. So like, when talking about Android TV boxes, they can put recommendations on the homepage, but not ads, and those recommendations can't be paid. Now, if you open youtube, they can make you watch ads.

Netflix bows out of Warner Bros. auction, Paramount to claim the prize

This will be one of the final nails in this country's coffin.
Millions of people who watch CNN are going to be radicalized over the next 3 years, the same as in 2015 or so when these losers discovered trump and got political.

We can only hope WB either gets a better offer from someone who can afford to buy it for cash to save the union (Where the fuck is the boogeyman George Soros on this one, huh?) or their shareholders see the writing on the wall and put the country ahead of profit. Both are almost impossible.

The exec behind that needs to be homeless
