Yes. I was about to post “time traveling Elon musk gets the idea for hyperlopp” :D

Well they do… But only barely and less so in the US lately.

There are still cases of small artists getting compensation for big business using their images or music without consent. But sadly it is far from the norm.

I agree with your core sentiment. Copyright is not working how it was intended and it is being abused by corporations.

It might be because I’m not American, or because I am a musician and songwriter myself. but I still see a point to having some laws protecting the rights of the creative mind behind something.

Removing copyright completely will only make it even more easy for the guys with the money and resources to exploit the small independent creators.

But (American) copyright is severely broken. This is true.

A starting point would be that the right is only tied to the specific creative(s) actually involved in the creation of something.

The thing is its only the copyrights of individual artists and creators that will die to this.

The big corpos will find a way to protect their value, just you wait.

They will steal from every single creative in the world and then sue them to hell and back if they use anything they them selves “own”

This is not a threat to the copyrights that you want to die.

The thing is… I think a lot of people don’t know that they have uefi support…

I have had the same windows install and motherboard (AMD is so great with long term socket support) for years, and figuring out how to change my bios and os setting so that I got a propper uefi boot was non-trivial.

Uefi has been a thing for a long time, but it’s not been the default for motherboards afaik. So you have had to go into bios and find the right settings.

Quote me after dealing with print drivers acting up and spooler service crashes for the nth time that day (also worked in it support for several years):

“We can land men on the moon, but somehow getting a printer, a technology that has existed litteraly since before computers had screens, to work is still complete and utter black magic…!”
