It was not just one lawsuit, I believe that may be the combined total of all the lawsuits to date. Rest assured though the judge said his fake bankruptcy may cover the 324 million in lawyers fees.

Maybe the death threats from his fans and having to go into hiding because of his rhetoric bumped up price. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm sure there were many parents in the jury that have had enough of the bullshit.
I guess the question is, how much money did Jones and his company make from said defamation. Personally I think if a company profits illegally then the fine should be at a minimum a close estimation of what they profited.
You answered your own question "Now it's just garbage corporations turning a quick buck for executives and shareholders" executives must continually find more profit to appease the shareholders, the only way to do that consistently is raise prices, there are too many people that will just keep paying and paying and the corporations know it.
I think I do remember the Asus phone. I think it was the zenphone 7 or 8 maybe.
Has the pop up camera (has that ever been a thing?) You would probably have to go back a decade. I may remember Motorola tried to bring back easy battery replacement (where you just kept a spare battery with you and just popped it in when the phone died) but it didn't last long. There is another phone that is still out I believe that you can replace different modules of the phone but I don't believe it's for convenience. The phone is geared more user repair and modifying the phone.
They would have to put the headphone jacks back in since the wires were the antenna
I have never been able to log in to Lemmy.world with any app. I think is may be the instance because I can log in anywhere else.
Conservative estimates put his companies earnings at 300 million a year. So ya I'd say it was pretty close since he went on about it for quite awhile. Also don't forget that during the lawsuit he hid money, lied in court, hid evidence and even refused to show up to court. I think his punishment is more than fitting. This guy knowingly lied about families who were devastated to make money, affecting those families lives to the point that they had to move and go into hiding. Fuck Alex Jones, he's a shit human being and I hope he spends the rest of his life mopping restrooms in a truck stop somewhere.
