It's crazy that a company would sue over things that preceded its existence, but not hard to believe when you have limitless money and an army of eager lawyers.

And it doesn't hurt to have hordes of people who just eat up anything they put out

Replaced with archived link to bypass paywall.

Hmm still takes me to the unarchived one. I wonder if link updates don't propagate across instances.

I should test that.

@BrikoX @Johnnypneumoniac I get a "secure connection failed" error in my browser for this link

@BrikoX ah, thanks!

Archive.ph requires the use of EDNS extension by your DNS resolver, which passes your IP address on to the remote server. Cloudflare doesn't support that. If you run a pihole or other resolver (or have access to your hosts file/not on unrooted mobile device) you can probably set the address manually to 193.233.203.196

In this market of efficiency, Apple shareholders should push to trim these people that are wasting resources to pursue useless IP hedgemony.

Part of me wants the apple farmers in Switzerland to leverage their preexisting rightful claim on all things (fruit) apple and go into the computer hardware business to take on Apple, just out of spite.
