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:

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.
"the Central Staff Committee (CSC) asks the Administrative Council to exert its supervisory role and instruct EPO management to enter into genuine dialogue with the staff representation on the AI Policy, to revise the “Leverage AI” target of 90% AI-automated classification in the SP2028 and to put in place the measures supported by staff in the resolution."
People or businesses or government officials (and departments) that still rely on Social Control Media are playing Russian Roulette with their future online
We need to remind people that desktops and laptops decline (in proportion to other client devices) and at the "back end" GNU/Linux is already dominant and has long been dominant
