Seggs fault

I don't really mind. The only high bandwidth thing I use on my work laptop is the USB-C for my displays. If I ever plug something into the rest of the ports, it would be a mouse/keyboard/headset and none of those require anything more than USB 2.0.

Curious - how does the open sourcing part of the gig work?

Phrased like that it begs me to ask: is that a table just for the third wheel?

A sports piece of clothing or equipment is functional with or without the flashy branding; a piece of merch however is not (especially if it's just decorative - like a pin, a sew-on patch or something like that).

Same sentiment here - but with the exception of band t-shirts and other merchandise - where in most cases you do want to show your support for the artist.

Unfortunately "punish them by not buying it" won't work for someone as big as them.

I'm saying that the sources of income are the same regardless of what the company structure or the software licence is.

Treat it however you want - from what I know even Mozilla has the same arrangement with Google and Firefox.
