Reminder that Nintendo is to Japan as Disney is to the USA.

We can only speculate what patents are involved, might be legit might not but it doesn’t have to be legit and the actual patent they obtained could be nonsense, they have the power to bend someone over a chair because they felt like it.

Also reminder apple managed to patent a rectangle. what countries allow to be patented is often bullshit at best.

Headcanon: “Adam West” is the only real batman. He retired to Quohog and all the others are paid by Alfred to keep the gotham criminals afraid of coming back after Bruces tbi during his final day in the batsuit.

Its almost a poorly made extortion racket: if you are a business that does not pay the bbb to get a good rating they rate you badly till you do. But either way they can’t actually do anything about shitty companies, its all the illusion of having recourse for the consumer when there is none.

Correct thing to do is treat everyone equally, not to change the unfair advantage into a disadvantage. Thats not equality.

And on that day, a lot of red shirts accidentally died because of something Stan did but didn’t intend to.

The holodeck on the enterprize has been insane ever since the Binars messed with it. Theres never any telling when a seemingly random “incident” will occur there and their hack was so sophisricated nothing ever comes up in diagnostics.

To bad the Binars aren’t interested in doing this type of things for reasons other than distracting Riker.

I just want a slightly higher res screen. Not by much just a bit more. Thats all

Not to mention money can be made litteraly betting on the stock price swinging from the bad news. Calls and puts plam far enough in advance and automate/preset triggers via broker agreements and can even avoid getting nailed for the obvious insider trading a lot of the time.

🤔 dear xkcd, how many tacos are needed to form a singularity?

All I see is pirahna plant from Mario

My 1st thought is that we may need these minor fears to learn how to deal with fear itself and as part of developmemt they’ll likely just be a fraid of something different instead.

I think at a minimum if you stop publishing and supporting your own work you shouldn’t get to cry copyright whem somebody else does. For that context 10 certainly seems plenty long…

to pass salt butter.

Oh, my god.

Double irony is they’d also send a takedown to github claiming the code contains their IP due to being too ignorant to comprehend that none of the code contains any of thiers to do what it does

Because outrage and violence generate “engagement”

Not a bug exactly - they didn’t think it through. To see what I was talking about you’d need a very very old version. Like way back when it was new. It seemed the that it was the developers that didn’t know what a global hook was. They were just very obnoxious about it before finally seeing reason and correcting the behaviour. At the time, it woild fire for -every- global hook. To my knowledge you can mo longer reproduce this, but the reaction they had to someone trying to suggest this wasn’t right was enough for me to never go near anything under thier brand ever again.

The issue and why it wss stupid wasn’t that it was a hook, its that it was attributing it to any app you opened when by definition a global hook is GLOBAL - you do users no gppd by scarinh them into thinking every global hool is malware frpm whatever random thing they ran. Those alert even would trigger on windows notepad. There is no reasom amy comnination of iser options should do this.

That was piss poor design and they evenyually walked it ba k after months of defending it by implying users amd security researchers were stupid on their forum, simce deleted. Its not in the wayback machine or I’d show you. Thier “fans” dogpiled on the topic after thier staff replied condesdingly.

It also had options (framed as “levels” of ptotection) that would make more of those pop up prompts at completely nonsensical times about nonsense things - like declareing whatever you just tried to run was using a global hook. I had virtualdub up and opened windows notepad and it tried to tell me that virtualdub was using a global hook as if virtualdub was a threat.

In all my years in IT thats still im the top 10 dumbest things I’ve seen in software even all these years later.
