Manufacturers will comply with the letter of the law and include AM radios, but then charge extra for ones with FM too.

Fun Fact: "Octupolar" was the original title for that film, but it didn't stick.

Imagine how irate Trump would be if someone did this to him -- or even half the stuff he does to others.

DoomSQLing :-)

Along those lines, Paramount owns Comedy Central, which airs South Park, which has a $1.5B 5-year streaming contract with Paramount -- and South Park (now, South America) is regularly trashing Trump, the GOP, billionaires and data centers -- along with pretty much anyone else, even liberals, who deserve it ... Sure, Paramount and Ellison will probably make money airing SP, but it shows where their real priorities are. Trump and MAGA are just a means to an end.

I regularly walk through bad part of town, there are shops that still advertise $50 used smartphones. I think we will stop treating many devices as disposable, which is a good thing, and will start insisting on right to repair and longer support.

But they *are* taking care of people - those with net worths over $1B.

Actually it's now SI, so that would be super intelligent Super Intelligence. /s

(Or, as our President will eventually re-name it, "Super-Duper Intelligence" - *sigh*)

Remember, Trump in Nevada: 'I Love the Poorly Educated'.

Well... out of their asses. So much for being "originalists" and/or "textualists" - again.

Hegseth says national security, military cyber forces will guard US election systems during midterms - and I don't think he was trying to be ironic. :-)
