I wouldn't underestimate it


Is it even legal? (Serious question)


Why would it not be? BlackBerry the company (as in the hardware one) doesn’t exist anymore, if parts exist why wouldn’t people be able to use them?


It does. They just don’t sell hardware. They sold most of the patents but still retain some and they’ve sued over the keyboard before (Google BlackBerry vs Typo keyboard) so it isn’t a dumb question. That said, if someone else is selling an OEM-like part, I doubt this is high volume enough for the people left at BlackBerry to care.


Okay, I didn’t know that, which was why I asked.

The fact that it surprises many is telling, actually. Used to be much more common to have strong political opinion, back then y'know? Also the guy already abandoned said wife and kids and literally went to space for the government, sounds like a strong selection biais


Yeah right never heard of spontaneous patriotism from the average not-under-gunpoint-american


Its not only language anymore


Are you done complaining about other people's rights? Why would you bring that up?



Can't tell if this is irony lol


And locking him in a box is a very good strategy to help him get there, of course.
