If you read through the end, the claims were thrown out, except the claim that the officer was abused his wife, which there is some question of whether that's actionable. Seems like the court is doing the reasonable thing.

I think this is an interesting analysis. My speculation is that the evidence will show much more intent than expected. I think the cooperation agreements are reflective of that and suggest those folks knew what they were doing wasn't r

I think it really mostly comes down to power consumption - you can get a brand new mini PC with something like a N5095 celeron for not much more than $100. And it's also the pi ecosystem vs the x86 ecosystem.
