I would love to read the original patent. As much as I hate Meta whenever I see shit like this I think "Patent Trolls", and your summary makes it sound like they literally patented "Redundancies to avoid failure", which seems too obvious to patent.

During the "3G" launch in the US, my parents used a non-internet plan on their phone. They stayed on the system grandfathered for a looong time.

Bought a cheap Chinese Android phone some time later, found out they had a 4000$ phone bill because for some reason the phone was sending some data somewhere to China.

Ended up reporting it to FBI, but I doubt anything came of it.

My last concussion when I was like 12 took out my vision in my peripherals. I was also having some weird side-effect where when I tried to read words, I knew what I was reading, but when I would say them out loud the wrong ones would come out.

My parents didn't know at the time you're not supposed to nap when you have a concussion, so I napped and then woke up fine.
