FCC votes to restore net neutrality protections in the United States
When net neutrality was repealed, Democrats said all kinds of dire things would happen: prices would go up. Some areas would not be able to get internet. Dogs would mate with cats...Investment and access to high-speed Internet surged. By the end of 2019, 94% of Americans had access to high-speed fixed and mobile broadband, up from 77% in 2015. In 2022 broadband builders laid more than 400,000 route miles of fiber, more than 50% more than in 2016.
Prices fell with more competition. A study by Casey Mulligan and Phil Kerpenfor the Committee to Unleash Prosperity found that, from September 2017 to September 2023, the price index for wired internet services fell 11% compared to the overall consumer-price index. The CPI for wireless fell 21% in real terms. The biggest winners from this price decline were low-income households, which pay a higher share of their earnings on broadband.
Restoring "net neutrality" will actually slow the installation of 5G systems and protect monopolies while giving the FCC the power to monitor internet content.

Apple Watch latest target in Uniloc's quickly growing legal barrage against Apple
The Supreme Court just ruled unanimously (https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-341_8n59.pdf) that filing this suit anywhere but where the company is incorporated is illegal. Patent trolls can't use East Texas any more. 45% of all patent suits were being filed in plaintiff-friendly East Texas and it got to the point where frequent defendants like Samsung were building parks and permanent offices there just to handle the load.
It is very likely that this case will get stomped on, big time. -
