They -own- Arm Holdings, Dostayer

2020-01-31 18:46:32 UTC  

They own the company that has the patents to every RISC chip that's in pretty much every smartphone and tablet on the planet

2020-01-31 18:46:37 UTC  

In every router/network device

2020-01-31 18:47:51 UTC  

But there you go, the problems have been laid out - i've offered two alternatives to fix the problem

2020-01-31 18:47:58 UTC  

If there are alternatives, i'm all ears

2020-01-31 18:48:07 UTC  

What? Softbank is Japanese

2020-01-31 18:48:42 UTC  

And they own ARM holdings

2020-01-31 18:49:05 UTC  

That's odd, there were government enquiries at the time as to whether we should be allowing the chinese to buy it

2020-01-31 18:49:46 UTC  

I think you are mistaking them for broadcom

2020-01-31 18:50:14 UTC  

ye arm was bought by softbank

2020-01-31 18:51:15 UTC  

The reason why no western company (actually, even Huwawei fabricates its chips in Taiwan) is because they would be forced to transfer the technology to a Chinese partner/government

2020-01-31 18:51:33 UTC  

They're catching up

2020-01-31 18:52:24 UTC  

Look who fabricates the chips

2020-01-31 18:52:41 UTC  

TSMC is a Taiwanese company

2020-01-31 18:52:59 UTC  

Cant wait for brexit

2020-01-31 18:53:23 UTC  

Another faux impasse removed

2020-01-31 18:53:28 UTC  

Either way, toddle off and come up with an alternative to right-to-repair, or mandatory long warranties

2020-01-31 18:54:47 UTC  

Fuck the chinks

2020-01-31 18:54:52 UTC  

and Fuck the Jews

2020-01-31 18:54:54 UTC  

simple as

2020-01-31 18:55:11 UTC  

RtR is coming to the question of private property, thus it seems to me like a place for a government intervention for protection property rights

2020-01-31 18:55:40 UTC  

The notion of private property will die if you do nothing

2020-01-31 18:55:47 UTC  

Or the environment will

2020-01-31 18:55:48 UTC  

Again

2020-01-31 18:56:38 UTC  

The main question that RtR is actually going around is who owns the phone after purchase

2020-01-31 18:56:59 UTC  

The person who bought it

2020-01-31 18:57:06 UTC  

Well

2020-01-31 18:57:30 UTC  

The manufacturers are arguing that you only loan it from them.

2020-01-31 18:57:39 UTC  

And you're OK with that?

2020-01-31 18:57:42 UTC  

I agree with you BTW

2020-01-31 18:57:45 UTC  

No

2020-01-31 18:57:50 UTC  

Not at all

2020-01-31 18:58:19 UTC  

Then why the hesitation?

2020-01-31 18:58:35 UTC  

That's why I've said it's a case of property rights which the companies should lose

2020-01-31 19:00:07 UTC  

It's not about forcing the company to produce something, it's about who owns the phone.

2020-01-31 19:00:46 UTC  

Thus, RtR should go through m

2020-01-31 19:02:10 UTC  

Nothing i've said implies forcing companies to produce something

2020-01-31 19:03:08 UTC  

With the ports? We are talking about something that changes over time, under this law, USB C would've never existed if it needed to conform the law.

2020-01-31 19:04:12 UTC  

@Eccles availability for 5/10 years by law is de facto forcing the company to produce it.
