Ummm… If you own the game, making backups is perfectly legal. This isn’t piracy, this is hacking. I agree that most movie and game downloading IS PIRACY. This is not. It’s piracy if someone rips the files and distributes it. If they rip it for themselves, it’s not.
So yeah, it actually is a murky area here. You’d be going after everyone under the assumption of illegal activity vs actually targeting those commiting piracy.
Then you punish the actual criminals, not everyone.
There are plenty of us who prefer the steam deck over the switch. You can pull the encryption keys from your own console and the roms from your own games and play them there. There are numerous tutorials to do so.
People use knives to stab people. Should we ban all knives?
You’re being hyperbolic and narrow-minded.
Backing up a game is legal. End of story. There’s plenty of legal precedent there already. So you’re literally arguing that the law is not the law because of your emotional feelings.
You want to change that? Change the law. Stop being a jackass on social here tho spouting bad takes when you just don’t agree.
I did. Dude has main character syndrome. Not every thought you have needs to be vocalized and no one owes him an answer. Votes are public and if they really cared so much, they could find the people and ask them.
You have no clue how vpns work and shouldn’t be giving anyone advice on tech. You are full of shit. I’m not even gonna be polite about it because you are spouting nonsense with complete confidence.
I feel it’s like saying “matter is mostly empty space and objects don’t actually touch, they repel each other”. Yes, that may be true on a physics/atomic level, but on a practical, every day level, objets are “solid” and they “touch”.
Yeah, pink/brown doesn’t “exist”. There is no “pink wavelength”. It’s “a composite”. But you can still pull a pink crayon out and everyone agrees “yeah, that’s pink”.
Saying colors don’t exist is splitting hairs in a context most people aren’t referring to.
In the case of the shrimp, it does matter because are they seeing “pink” or “red while also seeing purple separately and distinctly”? It’s asking if they are processing the colors in the same format.
Ok, but if charging port infrastructure is the issue, then if you solve that, you don’t need hybrids at all, just electric vehicles. So hyrids are still not the answer and need to be phased out. So it’s still a hybrid issue.
“range anxiety”. You’re literally adding “well Joe schmo might not be able to drive 300+ miles and that makes him nervous” as a reason not to fight emissions lmfao.
The average driver doesn’t need a hybrid. They want one because they are lazy and will mostly still fill them with gas, as this article showed.
So you need a gas car for that one time you might drive 300+ miles. The multiple people part is bullshit since we’re comparing hybrids to full EVs, not hybrids to a bicycle.
So, the one time you might need to drive really far, instead of taking a train, you want to own an hybrid 24/7.
Perfectly proving my point that it’s not a logical argument, it’s an emotional one.
I feel like this is exactly what’s happening. China isn’t jumping in because their pro-palenstine. Theyre jumping in because they’re anti US. This will only drag on and worsen the conflict as it becomes one giant proxy war.
This looks really interesting, but is it really “a replacement to traditional motors”? It’s a traditional motor attached to springs and a clutch. Sounds more like it would replace the traditional transmission moreso.
Regardless, it’s still a regular motor attached to other things. It’s doesn’t replace the OG motor at all. And it requires much more space that isn’t useful in every application.
Again, all that stuff is cool, but the title is incredibly misleading. This is an “improvement on current power transfer designs”, not a “completely new motor”. It’s taking the power from the motor and transferring it to other areas. That’s a transmission.
If I’m being pedantic, it’s because the article title makes it seem like we figured out a new electric motor besides coiled wire. That would be really fascinating. But instead we get “fancy clutch”. It’s literally “instead of a stepper motor, let’s just use a regular motor powered on 24/7 and attach a clutch and transmission to decide when and where to deliver that power”.
Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you’re still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying “well I buy a cheap used laptop” or “well I buy...
In response to your edit, there’s a difference between being forced to buy products that employ slave labor and choosing to buy something that is extremely overpriced because of capitalism. Yes you need to live within the system, but that doesn’t mean you buy the most expensive and wasteful version and then claim “well I had no choice!”. You have choices. You’re just being willfully ignorant of them and shifting the blame to someone else. Heaven forbid you become part of the solution and not just another addition to the problem.
Then why did you post this in memes? It’s not really funny or anything unless you’re an idiot who doesn’t see the bigger picture. Do you see why we might assume?

US consumers remain unimpressed with this progress, however, because they remember what they were paying for things pre-pandemic. Used car prices are 34% higher, food prices are 26% higher and rent prices are 22% higher than in January 2020, according to our calculations using PCE data....
Didn’t they just adjust the whole inflation index again to not count a bunch of significant things? It’s a joke.
Same with unemployment. It only counts “able individuals who are actively searching for a job”. A lot of people aren’t included in those numbers when they should be.
It applies to only certain jobs. There’s some variance in CAs minimum wage depending on if you’re a tipped server, fast food worker, or something else.
Yeah, when you say stuff like this, it shows how woefully unprepared you are for the realities of this. You can’t scale, can’t self host for long, don’t see a way to pay for this… When I can already pay Kagi for a fully working, excellent service, why would I choose you? This is guaranteed to crash and burn the moment your ISP tells you you can’t run a commercial grade server through your residential connection. They’ll either cap your bandwidth to unusable levels or disconnect you entirely. If you’re lucky you’ll have 1 or 2 other options to choose from, whom will blacklist you shortly after. Then, after you’re burnt through all the “easy” ways to host, all you’ll be left with is professional grade services that you admit you can’t afford.
Also, you make zero mention of user privacy. So what happens when you get your first subpoena? Or before that, why should I trust you with my data in general? What policies do you have in place to ensure my legal rights are protected? Do you even know what the legal rights are per state/country and how the location of where someone connects from impacts you? How are you gonna handle visitors from the EU with GDPR?
Nifty idea, but way too much “I’m gonna single handedly reinvent the wheel” vibes.
No, it’s because IE was just a modified File Explorer to begin with. It was never its own independent software, but something cobbled together from already existing code. It’s these constant dependencies that are the problem due to laziness and bad practice.
Look into League of Legends and how Skarner and Minions are a structurally important part of the games entire code for another example.
And we can’t change it because “if we don’t just keep following the system, we might elect Hitler. Don’t vote third party, that’s throwing your vote away and then the other guy will win”.
