Sure but I stand by my statement. The vast majority of Americans can afford $254/month. Prices will go down with competition and crash when the FDA Exclusivity period expires

Interesting, the man page says "To allow mounting and unmounting by unprivileged users, fusermount3 needs to be installed set-uid root". Is this the default case on any distros?

The fake audio in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT-2p832IMk This was distributed by news sites. Of course they didn't bother contacting anyone involved to check if it was real.
