I copied that directly from imdb quotes section.
When going in, I knew resurrections wasn’t a very serious movie, but it caught me off guard when they directly spelled out this in front of me.

Smith: Now what? Things have changed. The market’s tough. I’m sure you can understand why our beloved parent company, Warner Brothers, has decided to make a sequel to the trilogy.
Neo: What?
Smith: They informed me they’re gonna to do it with or without us.
Neo: I thought they couldn’t do that?
Smith: Oh, they can, and they made it clear they would kill our contract if we didn’t cooperate.
The film itself explained pretty well why it exists and why it wasn’t good.

Driver Turns A Game Boy Color Into A Reversing Camera
No, he didn’t. The headline is false, a lie to get clicks. This doesn’t involve a real game boy in any way, not even one used for parts.
The title makes it sound like the guy used a Game Boy Camera, or rigged some other camera to the game boy. That would’ve been actually cool.

- Comment on 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties 4 weeks ago:
I want a world in which corporations are scared to release anti-consumer products because they know it’ll tank their income.
I wish. Celebrating customers getting shafted seems counterproductive though. In reality, companies aren’t afraid of making anti-consumer products. Regulation can keep them in check and consumers sure as hell won’t.
There’s stuff like graphene or other open source OS’s - installing graphene is literally connecting your phone to a PC and opening a website, something even a chimp can do.
I know, I run a custom rom too. I also know that custom roms are still Android, meaning they aren’t safe. What do they do when Google makes some restrictive bullshit change again, for example to the android API? Fork it and become incompatible with apps meant for stock android?
Nobody is affected … except apple users
Yes they are. All large companies are constantly looking for more things they can get away with and are ratcheting towards user hostility.
When the non-hostile options are gone, or reduced to a few crappy ones, the educated consumer is fucked. Because what else are they gonna do, not buy a phone? How is a chimp gonna install Graphene when unlocked bootloaders are extinct?

… then maybe the people should just get more informed.
I hear they also made crimes illegal. Problem fucking solved.
doesn’t benefit anyone
But it does? Some Apple users will try something else, and even if you aren’t one of the, these practices spread. When Apple gets away with something, others will follow. Android is also getting more locked down with each major release. Maybe you use a linux phone or none at all?
everyone is uninformed anyways and probably doesn’t even care?
The fact that this issue is being discussed by us here and meps/commissioners/etc. at Brussels is proof that not everyone is uninformed and don’t care.
What’s to gain by not regulating this? Do you want the world to collectively suffer from products that are artificially made worse? You can say that ignorant people deserve what they get, but do the others deserve to get dragged down to their level? Everyone should suffer because iphone users are dumb?
- Comment on 'For too long, Apple has operated a walled garden around its products': The EU forces Apple to open its closed system to third parties 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, most Apple users won’t care or even know, and will just keep using whatever is Apple gives them. I don’t see how that’s an issue.
Meanwhile, people who are at least slightly more informed will benefit from the freedom. Things like this are needed because informed consumers too are getting shafted in about every product category. Voting with your wallet doesn’t work in a market dominated by uninformed consumers.

Oh no, not more freedom and rights, please no!
