I hate that this will likely be decided by a 75 years old judge that hasn't been close to a computer since getting his 15 years old grandson to fix his patience game

This attitude itself seems quite out of date in modern times. My dad is 70 and brought home a 486 in the 90's which was my first computer, and he didn't work in technology; the people who did got their computers about a decade before that. People can still be bad with tech, but the Greatest Generation (who were obviously first in line when they were handing out generation names) and Silent Generation are basically gone and on the way out respectively and were really the last ones who could use the excuse that they never learned them. Boomers might not have been born with the tech, but it was an important force in the world for the majority of their lives.

Yeah the whole thing with Zucc's trial highlighted this perfectly for me, a bunch of clueless old dolts who have no fucking idea how anything in the modern age works.

I'm eagerly awaiting the time where the people making these decisions at least have some sort of baseline level of understanding, otherwise these psychopathic megacorps will keep getting away with things based on technicalities and the judge's lack of knowledge.
