I'm pretty sure Weird Al is actually using compulsory licensing in music and just paying the required royalties to the songwriters. Anyone can cover any published song, you just have to pay the royalties when you do.

Thanks, good explanation. My thought on "no atmosphere" is that it eliminates the need for heat shielding to enter it, but I can see how that's not really an issue compared to all the benefits.

Much easier to do on the moon than on Earth though at least, right? No atmosphere, fraction of the gravity.

I think probably it's a disjoint group, or at least a disjoint set of circumstances. What the dealers are complaining about are the rules phasing in about what % of your sales need to be EVs. There are some successes, like the F-150, b

What you see listed and what the dealer will actually give it to you for are not necessarily the same thing, infamously so in the case of in-demand models like this.

The tax credit timeframe is already written into law, though? Of course Congress can't constrain itself so it could always cancel (or double!) those credits, but it seems pretty reasonable to rely on what the law currently says.

They say it no longer reproduces on current Chrome/Grammarly, so taking it up with them is fruitless. They're not going to investigate crashers from old versions.

One that's been patched already, though, as they say that in current versions of Chrome and Grammarly it doesn't crash.

Yeah, it’s never monetized well and I doubt it ever will. Just interesting to see that the converse of monetizing well doesn’t mean that you can get over the hump of relevance in this case.

That's just a part. You can also buy a USB-C modem for a MacBook. And being cost-conscious is part of what makes it affordable to sell the integrated machine, since you're paying a % of the product cost. The total take for Qualcom

The sticking point is paying Qualcomm for the modems, because their terms take a % of the total device sale for each device sold with one. When you're talking about $5000 laptops that's a huge amount of money.
