Excellent proof of why these systems should not exist under these conditions. Apparently it’s poorly managed and governed

Wow… such incompetence.
Also, wow some people’s hobbies… checking memory allocations and kernel behavior.
Sure… mostly they do… but then captains are drunk, maintenance is poor and the insurance declines to pay… or drags that out through court for 2 decades… meanwhile governments have to foot the bill. The examples are endless unfortunately.
If the cargo is a few million barrels of oil now the problem of the government who’s shores it threatens… you don’t really care do you?
I wonder if they will now find the Emperor has no clothes.
Back to the original point… Phones are not provider locked. That’s not allowed. It’s a predatory practice.
Who said personal funds. Are you arguing slippery slope or moving the goal posts?
Here in the Netherlands they don’t allow carrier locking and still sell on these installment plans.
They are 2 separate services (telecom & financing) and thus cannot be linked at sale. That’s not an issue… why would it be different in the US?
I don’t know if this will be a big issue for small businesses. But in any case where there is construction of multiple companies in a structure to separate profits and losses for fuckery with taxes and fines, I think I would also be OK with that whole structure being seen as one entity and treated as such.
The billionaire class however is uniquely adept at this kind of fuckery and wield an ungodly level of power, only surpassed by governments. And I think governments need to be careful that these assholes don’t get too much power… so it’s high time they take them down a peg… or 10.
Shipping companies setup separate LLC’s for their ships so of they have an accident the ship goes bankrupt and they keep their profits shielded… that kind of stuff is bullshit
OK so you buy the phone on a payment plan… and credit check. Then once it’s paid off it should be unlocked.
Wha? The guy I responded to said the customers now pay full price up front. If a device is bought it should be unlocked.
Additionally giving away a phone for a determined time contract means that the company is technically giving you a loan and it should be on your credit record, require the company to do a proper credit check and be allowed to give out loans.
Bottom line, it’s predatory and should not be allowed. Noone is advocating giving 1000 dollar phones for free… it was a strawman you stuck me with… but I don’t want it.
So maybe they will invest to get it further. It’s not a 9 women can make a baby in a month … but sufficient funding for next gen nuclear and fusion will help progress.
Then carrier locking should just be plain illegal.
Just make carrier locking illegal and have customers pay the actual price, now it’s just hidden costs to the consumer.
You forgot to set the language buddy.
Excellent way to get around labor laws. Have a robot controlled by a poor amuck in a low wage country and ignore the labor laws in the country of the robot.
If they add additional services on their path to become an everything app I’m sure this will be revisited.
This is how you end up with laws mandating paper cards with pricing information.
