Yeah.

People hate them because it’s a “solution” to a complete non-problem.

Perhaps proof Junior is somewhat sympathetic?

I am very sorry for the child that he was that turned him into this adult. Happily, most abused children are not Trumps, so they go on to be perfectly ordinary, not terrible people. But Jesus, I pity this poor fuck almost as much as I think he’s The Worst Jr

As funny as his reaction is, I don’t get why people honestly hate proximity keys. It’s not that hard to just put the key in the cupholder or ashtray when you get in the car if you really don’t want to keep it in your pocket or if you’re really so incapable of keeping track of something while sitting still in a seat.…

A lot of Chinese companies just assume/hope they can get away with it because this sort of thing is so common and—despite episodes like this—enforcement is relatively rare.

It’s presumably a design patent, not a utility patent. Copyright doesn’t really apply here.

Seriously thougj. how the he’ll would you patent a part. hooks all look the damn same... you drill some holes into it and put some exhaust ports onto it and it looks different.

I don’t know anything about the specific patents at issue here but in general it seems that the the USPTO issues a lot of patents for things that shouldn’t be patentable.

See, sometimes the government *does* work for us!

Now I’ll never get my chrome spoiler replica of a Lamborghini Countach wing for my Geo Metro.

Chinese knockoffs? In the auto industry? You don’t say.

Way to go, Feds!

...patented grilles? Wait, what?
I can understand “copyrighted”, and infringement thereof, but... *confused*

its not shocking that they are so unethical as to base an entire industry off the IP of others.

“It was rare, to say the least, to see a black singer on stage at such a white event”

Can’t recall specific individuals at the moment, but the entity soon to be known as IBM was fairly instrumental at the whole, y’know, increasing the efficiency at which the Nazis exterminated Jews and other “undesirables”.

Judging by the article you would think Ford’s active and open support of the Nazi party was some kind of secret.

Turns out there has been some legal issues, if you can send another $1000 for legal fees they will have the money released immediately.

I hope this doesnt mean hes not sending my money.
