Its an action game with RPG like stst systems.

So non RPGs are better RPGs? You don’t have to like RPGs.

Nobody is asking ‘software’ companies to support software they didn’t write.

We are asking hardware companies to support their hardware and not use different software as an excuse not to replace faulty hardware.

They can reflash their own software to test if needed.

Of course hardware vendors could be legally mandated to adhere to standards to make things easier.

If the number of phones is small maybe. Though I doubt they can just throw lithium batteries in a landfill in the EU.

There are manufacturer’s that produce different phones with the same name and different hardware for different regions but I could not find concrete info if there’s actual hardware differences for iphones.

I doubt even Apple is stupid enough to end up with a significant quantity of un-sellable stock just to ‘make a point’. Or that major vendors wound not have an agreement to rtv merchandise they can’t sell after a certain date. Apple will either use them for parts or reflash them if possible to meet different jurisdictions’ regulations and sell them there.

In regards to existing devices continuing to be used being better for the environment, the law allows that (which), it allows lighting cables (or micro-usb) to be continue to be sold so you can keep charging your working device. You won’t however have to buy new cables and chargers for a new device if you already have a usb-c cable (and compatible charger), nor will it have to be bundled with every new device.

The software code issue is out of scope of this law. There are initiatives that do somewhat help with planned obsolescence such as requiring manufacturers to allow app installation from alternative sources. Of course they could go further, such as allowing to boot an alternative OS, or preventing malicious compliance better. But that cannot be criticism of this directive.

The publication added that CD Projekt cuts jobs at its subsidiary every two to three years, with annual staff turnover reaching around 30%.

As summed up by another former employee, “GOG has been acting well tactically from a financial perspective, but poorly strategically, and the current business model is likely running out of steam.”

So nothing burger? Other than a corpo being anti-worker which is not news…

Your parents made you watch a film because they were concerned you could not distinguish reality from fiction?

They need to ban them from forking the browser. Google has the ability to get people to install the new Google totally-not-chrome browser. Especially if they keep Android as well.

Nothing, he will be dead. Anyone that NSA would bother to use their new and expensive quantum machines on will be an organization that should know better than to be compromised by decades old secrets getting out.

At the moment the party with the most blame is the one getting away scot-free, the parents (esp. stepfather) and they are suing somebody else for money and perhaps also to shape the narrative.

It’s probably smart, most people are probably not contemplating whether the parents were at any fault for the suicidal tendencies of the child. It’s all conveniently blamed on a the moral panic de jour.

Limits on AI should be set by laws and regulations not judicial decisions or even worse a possible settlement.

It’s disappointing behavior by Linus. It’s understandable that sanctions could force the removal of people just for being Russia.

His reply however shows he personally is in favor of removing people just for being Russian.

I wonder if any of the people who pressured him to take some time off for being a “jerk” will give a shit for this response.

She is a 40 yo lawyer. I doubt that she couldn’t afford something more. I find it plausible that she couldn’t devote more time to the kid.

You would pay the family that provided him with the means to kill himself?

They actually should be held accountable.

Is this like when Americans blamed Pakistani coders for B737/MCAS debacle only to be proven they implemented Boeing’s (fatally flawed) specifications to the letter?

I find it hilarious that you bring up the metric system in regards to time and dates that actually failed to be metrified.

I don’t need to provide a better map to point out that this one is wrong.

That map is just what the Unicode consortium ( a California non-profit) decided should be used on it’s standards.

It has zero authority on what day is the fist day of the week outside that and it certainly has not done any real research on what people actually use in all these countries.

Same with ISO 8601 in regards to dates. It’s not actually used outside of naming sortable computer files (if even that) and certainly now used in common speech or official documents etc.

Simply put misrepresenting these maps and ISOs by generalizing what they apply to is wrong

It’s racism, due to his political alignment he can’t go after black people but Russians are fair game.

I just read your list and it confirms mine.

Small buffer AND can’t skip ahead on a boring video because you can only get served the ads to unlock further video after time equal to the served video duration has passed.

That is not YouTube, it’s online TV and there will be an impact on the product. Preloading a video via a 3rd party client will still easily beat this scheme. Just get a headstart equal to the first ad break.
