Don't really understand the cries for their server code to be constantly updated or even open sourced, you can't ever verify that's what they are running anyway. Maybe there's some…

Price controls are successful until they aren't. The US can subsidise an egregious amount of bad policies for a very long time I suspect, from agriculture to health, it's not reall…

Baseband chips and sim cards aren't infrastructure, but you still can't compete because getting permission to run one on modern networks is financially well out of reach for most. …
