Thanks for pointing that out -- I skipped over that first footnote. On my screen, it's on the previous page from the quote I posted (for what it's worth).

From the dissent: "In the 1990s, Oracle created a programming language called Java..."
Sun Microsystems was acquired in 2010... I guess I should give Thomas the benefit of the doubt that he intended the statement to apply to Oracle's owned IP & not be a historical account of the language's creation and creators, but this rubbed me the wrong way.

Confirms the `chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process` flag is useful here & sure enough, the 2018-01-05 SPL was waiting for me on my Pixel when I looked.

The STTNG Episode "The Game"[1] comes to mind :)
In the show, the device physically stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain to the point that players are highly addicted & easily manipulated.
I interpret it as allegory to the way "real" video games leverage variable rewards & other reinforcement to do something similar.
Monitors won't have an over-the-air tuner, so, you'd need to use an external device to watch broadcast TV.
