Huawei apologists are  acting like robo callers.  bigging up Huawei tech as if they invented 5G on their  own R&D effort when in fact they are reliant on ARM, Google, Wifi Alliance, SD Association just like everybody else.  Brazenly they also did a lot of IP theft to get to the top. Now that the jig us up, everyone can point put that the Emperor has no clothes  after all.

Huawei windows drivers acting like malware broke the camel’s back, so to speak. I mean why would a driver file inject code to allow privileged access/backdoor to the Windows process? This  malware-like behavior is how it got detected by the newer Wiindows Defender version 1809. 
“Microsoft’s researchers  then continued to look at the driver and found another flawed capability: it could map any page of physical memory into a user process. with both read and write permissions. With this, the user process can modify the kernel or anything else, and as such it, too, represents a gaping flaw.”

So I guess it was ok when American Companies installed key loggers as part of their drivers?

Were you to actually read the article you linked, you'd note that they don't believe it was malicious, just that it was sloppy (by writing to a plain-text file that a malicious process could then take advantage of). Nor are they a state-sponsored agent. But nice try.

Streaming is theft.
Here is a tweet from Peter Frampton:

“For 55 million streams of, ‘Baby I Love Your Way’, I got $1,700. I went to Washington with ASCAP last year to talk to law makers about this. Their jaws dropped and they asked me to repeat that for them.“

Do you think Hollywood would take $1700 for 55 million tickets to a movie?

I see a distinction between refurbished Apple screens and counterfeit Apple 'look alike' screens. Thus I agree with the court decision, as long as no customers were given the impression that these were warrantied Apple screens, and none returned their repaired phones to Apple for other warranty considerations (which is unlikely).

I second this.  If it's not apple approved hardware being installed by an apple certified technician then your phone is out of warranty and apple isn't liable

No wonder, all EU companies are crushed against US companies. Let me see...is there any hi profile EU corporate anymore beside the Swiss bank? Nokia is pretty dead and trying to survive on Patent loyalty payments...any other?
