Until recently, I had some butter on a butter plate with a lid, and would take it to room temperature in advance of wanting to use it. Not the best method, but better than only having fridge temperature butter. A few weeks ago I got a French butter dish after being introduced to the concept. You can keep a good dose of butter in room temperature, with water making it airtight so the butter stays fresh. So far very much liking it.

Sadly your average person just doesn't care about consumer rights, in any matter.

I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer's DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.

Not only with their permission. In many cases at the request of the host country. Plenty of countries would like to host a US base.

I would say the latter is closer. There's a tiny pause after the k.
