True; although who knows what would hold up in court if anyone was to file a lawsuit based on some of these "digital contracts" we agree to every time we click "I agree".

I guess the only reason this happens is due to price, but we could force a "plastic tax" on those types of products unless they came in something that was biodegradable. Seems like a solvable problem, but only if we make it harder

We pay a monthly cost for every Ubuntu VM that we have. Perhaps there is some "get X free VM's" included with a certain Office365 license or something; but ours are certainly not free. You could probably make the exact same c
