So what happens in reality is that once you draw the gun, you and your family are dead. By drawing a gun you doomed them. If you value your family, you get out early. Pack up, move to a different country. It might be difficult, it might take a while, but if you start early enough you might just make it. The Jews who moved out of Germany in 1933 could still sell of their homes and belongings, get a passport and visa comparatively easily and got out. The Jews who tried that in 1939 were in a much tougher spot and a staggering amount of them didn't make it any more. So if you expect that there is a realistic chance that your family is sent to a concentration camp, get your family to safety instead of hanging around until it's too late and then get them and yourself killed. You don't become a hero for killing a few low-level grunts while dooming your family. Ruby Ridge happened in a relatively free country. It was a huge misstep of a government agency and this went through the media. If you kill some ICE people, then the telling will be that you are a crazy leftist terrorist who harboured illegal criminal rapists and that you then murdered some officers in a terrorist attack. The USA is not a free country any more. Look at German newspaper reports from 1933 through 1939 to see what you can expect within the next months and years in the USA.

In Freenet you replicate random blocks from over the network. While this thing is like torrents, you replicate what you download. At least that.

How observant and insightful of you.

There are some companies as bad as Apple (John Deere comes to mind), but it's certainly not the norm. User-replacable standard m.2 SSDs are bog standard and non-standard formats are really rare. Apart from Apple I can not think of many companies that do that. IIRC Red Magic cameras, and Synology NAS but that's the only ones I can think of.

how about the military just stop paying for repairs entirely and let the equipment deteriorate and not replace it

Sauron Denies Request for Contract Information Reading a prepared statement from the tower of Barad-dûr, the Mouth of Sauron indicated today that the Dark Lord would not be complying with the demands of lawmakers to provide information on its contracts with the Trump Administration. The Messenger of Mordor further called the demands "ridiculous" and "unnecessary government intrusion into private affairs of Sauron, who does not answer to any higher authority, save that of his fallen master Morgoth." Furthermore, the statement chastised the lawmakers for contacting Sauron through the Palantir, which he described as "an illegal privacy breach," and said he planned to seek legal action for this invasion of his personal communications.

Melon Usk doomed their FSD efforts from the start with his dunning-kruger-brain take of "humans drive just using their eyes, so cars shouldn't need any sensors besides cameras." Considering how many excellent engineers there are (or were, at least) at his companies, it's kind of fascinating how "stupid at the top" is just as bad, if not worse, than "stupid all the way down."

I give it 5 years before this is on our phones.
