    Ah, misleading use of terminology that indicates one thing, but will win in court even if it actually means, or can later be said to mean, another.

    I hope those involved in helping companies win these lawsuits choke on bones from food sold as boneless. Because that won a court case after “boneless” was redefined as a cooking method.

    I don’t want them to choke to death. Just a little lesson, you know?

      I vote they choke indefinitely. But not to death; I want them to die of old age, spending decade upon decade choking endlessly.

      I work in pro AV and so many companies do this. Wow, you say LOSSLESS video on a valens chip? Oh, you’ve never actually done a side-by-side conparison, have you…

      Extron differentiates between lossless and “visually lossless” which I appreciate.

      I remember when unlimited minutes plans for cell phones meant 300 minutes.

      Or when Comcast had unlimited downloads which was capped at 2 TB.

      These shitty companies know exactly what they are doing.

        I had an “unlimited” plan with a cell company - I took them at their word and downloaded gobs of stuff. Got shut down in a week.
