Summary: New video outlines an ongoing pursuit for compliance from Samsung, which is part of Microsoft's patent racket
Our reader Ryan Farmer ("DaemonFC") has been on the case for several weeks now and finally he got Samsung to admit that it's violating the GPL licence.
It seems that SFLC is suing them too, along with Best Buy and Westinghouse:

I never noticed that they had been included, so thanks.

The interesting thing about violating the GPLv2 is that you then lose all rights to distribute anything under the GPLv2, until your rights are explicitly re-instated by the copyright holders you violated the license of. This legally speaking means that Samsung has lost the right to ship any product running Linux, until they get re-instated. This is something which was changed in the GPLv3, your rights get re-instated when you come into compliance.
Considering the huge proportion of Web requests that come from LLM bots (more so this past year or two), statCounter may struggle to justify the operating costs
The corporate media is projecting or signalling its own dishonesty when it tells us that Microsoft is a very "valuable" company while the data shows Microsoft is also a "market leader" in layoffs
For those of us who turned down those propositions there was a struggle; we needed to justify not having skinnerboxes or "social" accounts in some site run by a private company
In a lot of ways, so-called 'Vibe Coding' is already considered vapourware or a passing fad promoted in the media by managers who try to justify mass layoffs, especially ridding companies of "very expensive" software engineers
"No matter how much financial hocus-pocus they use to reclassify revenues to land in the "sexy" buckets (AI, Quantum), it still smells old and musty - just like this company."
