That's unlikely in South Dakota and Montana.

Are you including Hiroshima and Nagasaki in that?

Those weren't prolonged grinding attacks on the civilian population.

Same reason most mass-market consumer goods aren't made in western countries - its more profitable to have them made in China and other low(er) wage (and lower employment standards in general) countries.

And in the decades since that shift to offshoring manufacturing started, China has developed infrastructure and expertise in manufacturing, while those same things have atrophied in the US and other countries who import those cheap products.

It would have been best if there was fact checking as part of the debate, but as you speculated, there's no way Trump would agree to that. And, to be fair, it's probably a difficult thing to do live and accurately in timely manner.

However, other news agencies were doing fact checking during and following the debate.

With each company that gets away with doing this crap, the more companies will add these artificial locks to the products that they sell.

If there isn't legal protections for consumers, it won't be long before there are no consumer friendly options available to buy.

Maybe they need more cryptocurrency experts and sovcit hedge-lawyers

They can have them.

Preferably before November.

That's legalese for "We still think that we have that right, we will use it again".

Or for "we don't want this to get invalidated in court - we need to save it so we can intimidate someone else in the future".

Most people weren't even aware of it.

The general public knowing every little detail about a celebrity's life simply wasn't a thing then.

Phones just don't have UEFI, because 99.999% of the time it will run only one operating system: the manufacturer's flavor of Android.

And the manufacturers very much want to keep it that way.

They do not want you to be able to make those changes, and intentionallyput roadblocks in your way.

No, it implies that they don't understand that there is an option.
