im sorry the family didnt cover their ass when consigning a 200k worth lego collection, because it wasnt insured, bonded, uh protected. The contract is as good as toilet paper. What resources do they have to go after BAM? I would need to read the full contract and see if it has a loophole BAM used to get out of the affair unscathed while keeping the inventory. I did consignment before and you detail meticiously all assets while having them insured and bonded in case this shit happens the contract has teeth or funds behind it. even if you dont think a ucc file is worth it 20 bucks goes a long way to protect 200k
i feel bad for the family but that's the nature of the business, the cost of doing business is always a risk. If the collection was worth or appraised at 200k then the family should have done more due diligence. I mean its their life savings. How much paperwork could be done to protect the assets. branding the boxes with tamper proof stickers
people dont use dos anymore even though its quite powerful

haiku reminds me of the powerpc macs from 1998 that small bar at the bottom that pulls out. It has that sort of colorful appeal to put it on a colored clear plastic imac or emac you know the orange vanilla motif i remember using.
the problem is who owns the handshake, even if the slicer is under the agpl license i think this could cause a rewrite because this is a service level tivoization you cant use the software without the handshake, gplv1 allowed software based tivoization, gplv2 allowed hardware based tivoization, gplv3/agpl allows service based tivoization which mean theres a loophole looking to be closed all over again because if i use agpl web app from a public site, i have the right to get the code if i want to fork that code i have to violate the handshake
