There are a bunch of free channels on the internet that some TVs can just stream without a dedicated app. These channels are supported by ads like cable/whatever channels, but not locked behind a subscription. VLC is supporting whatever formats they use to allow (or make it easier; IDK) people to watch them if they want.
The other part is that they're working on web assembly to allow sites to use VLC as their embedded video player.
"Frankly, Kimmel’s fake requests were funny, but what he did was clear violation of copyright law,”
How?
Cameo sounds like work for hire to me. You pay, it's yours.
They already fucking do.
They just pretend pre-roll trailers aren't ads.
Absolutely insane.
I can understand extreme cases, like some sort of disputed IP where their contact to sell the content turns out not to be with the actual rights holder, resulting in no longer serving the content (with an unconditional full refund). But past that they should be legally required to host the content until the heat death of the universe.
The scary part is presenting it as a fucking privacy feature with no consequences.
Suits like this should permanently get everything you own, including subsidiaries and parent companies, placed in the public domain immediately.
reportedly cost the studio roughly $42.6 million dollars to make, with a net profit hitting over $49.7 million. Approximately $7 million past the breakeven point,
That's not what profit means.
Their complete butchering of the basics makes it really hard to take their analysis of cash flow seriously.
No shit.
It's never been a secret what incognito mode does. Websites have always still been able to do whatever they want with your traffic, because the browser doesn't control that in any way.
"Selling shares before the announcement" was a pretty egregious misrepresentation. He has scheduled pre-registered sales on a regular basis because he gets paid partly in stock.
It was always going to be relatively soon after a sale of stock.
This isn't "his doctor". It's an independent doctor making an evaluation for the purpose of determining if he's competent to stand trial. It's not private.
It can definitely be done.
But when all the actual experts who do it every day are telling you "fuck that shit; it's too much work", it's probably a pain in the ass.
Steam doesn't enforce anything. They provide a very weak opt-in DRM that they literally tell developers they should expect will by bypassed. There are plenty of actual DRM free games on Steam.
People use Steam instead of GoG because Steam works and provides a wide array of value adding features and GoG doesn't.
Apple already did though. Even specifically replacing Intel chips because Intel's offering was dogshit that was destroying their ability to offer the design they wanted with their stupid power draw.
The rest of ARM is behind, and Windows has done a shit job of ARM support, but that doesn't mean that's forever.
If people need to make an account, I'd bet your engagement drops at least 90%. That's the friction they mean.
Opt out is not acceptable under any circumstances. It's not your data. It's your users'.
Sending a single bit back without an explicit, uncoerced opt in should be illegal.
Sure, but the points don't buy anything real, so might as well use them if you like one.
I'm skeptical of any article like this on its face. The whole beauty of a well done RPG, especially a CRPG, is that you get choices on how to build your character and how you handle encounters and can be successful with many of them.
If bard is the most fun for you, awesome. If it's "objectively better", the game is flawed.
Nintendo can't get emulators that actually are for the primary purpose of bypassing their restrictions (even if doing so on legitimately purchased games is perfectly legal) shut down, and this company thinks they can close a fucking reader because it's possible some people might use it with pirated copies of their IP?🤣
Anticheat.
The casual friendly hyper-monetized nonsense that needs to install malware to "ensure fair play" (or sell loot boxes and spy on you) doesn't run.
Malware labeled "anticheat software" that wants obscene access to low level OS information and is a massive security liability.
Do you know what open source means?
They're not relying on Valve's goodwill. The license explicitly permits this.
It has nothing to do with DMCA. It's not copyright infringement.
It's violating an NDA on an unreleased product, and even if they can't actually get damages, the day they do it they never get a review code from anyone ever again.
Start documenting all their OSHA violations lol.
No smartphones in the street, or parks or shops, whatever, it’s their town.
Screw that. A town shouldn't have the authority to take away basic freedoms like that, even if literally every citizen directly votes in favor of doing so.
I don't think that's really any kind of flaw. Not every project needs to be actively maintained.
It's OK to write something as a one-off because it's useful to you. It's OK to share that to other people with a license that allows them to use it for their own purposes without making a commitment to work on it forever. It's OK if it's never particularly useful to a general audience and only serves as a small convenience for other people who can follow the code and adapt it to their own purposes or make modifications for compatibility.
If 1% of products that are shared unmaintained save 1 other person some work and 0.001% serve as a jumping off point for someone down the line into a project that forms a community around it, that's still a net positive, isn't it? I'd try not to make promises I'll actively maintain it if I won't, and be descriptive enough to make it easy to find your project if you're chasing the same problem and easy to read/adapt the code, but making it available, in and of itself, is a service.
From the perspective of the employee it basically is a gift (more a benefit).
Employees don't pay for stock in an ESOP; they're earned by being employed there (with different options for how they're divided, but restrictions so they aren't excessively dominated by the highest earners).
There's no reason to switch.
50 year old headphones are still basically fine except for the port changing.
I'm sure they'll let you stick to the classic branch like TW3.
No one's screwing your over by making a version of the game that uses more up to date hardware.
I don't think that's a particularly bad place to draw the line. That's the bulk of the damage.
The problem is that for non-celebrities catching whether it's "based on a real person" or not is extremely difficult, and false negatives can genuinely be life changing. Regardless of whether you think people should be more free with their body or whatever "they're prudes" narrative you want (and eventually it may well be normalized to expect people to see you naked in more than just imagination as technology advances), at the end of the day people are taught to be embarrassed by their bodies and will in many cases be genuinely traumatized even on the less bad end of the spectrum of that kind of behavior*.
*As opposed to sustained harassment and badgering. One time is still very harmful.
It doesn't matter what the tradeoffs are. The data does not and cannot belong to you.
There is no way of collecting telemetry while respecting privacy*. The pure fact that you're collecting anything the user didn't explicitly consent to is an unacceptable violation. Anonymization doesn't mean you aren't taking data that isn't yours.
*edit: without opt in. The acceptable way to do it is to make your ask, make the user make one choice or the other, and respect it.
Even if you never buy an Arc card, a competitive Intel will benefit all gamers.
Only if someone else does for you.
What you're describing isn't real, but even if it was, it wouldn't warrant a refund. You can't play 100 hours then make up phantom bugs to get your money back.
None.
The actual "single core", "multi-core" were basically fine last I was aware, but they went so far into apeshit meltdown about the fact that AMD was offering better value than Intel with Ryzen (which is kind of back and forth since, but AMD is the reason I could get a 16 (real, capable of demanding single core loads too) core for $500 a couple years ago, not too long after Intel was selling 6 cores for more than that.) that it undermined everything else.
Anyways, UB's owner didn't like that AMD had good shit so he kept changing the "gaming/desktop/whatever" grade formulas to tilt the comparisons to Intel using more and more hilarious mechanisms. It started with a reasonable "you don't really benefit from games past 4/6/8 cores" and de-emphasizing super high core counts that hadn't really been an issue before, but it quickly degraded into obviously cheating hard by whatever means necessary to punish AMD, with even worse diatribes in the descriptions to match.
That's not really extra nuance, and is about discussing piracy.
The premise that an ISP has an obligation to proactively monitor traffic when they shouldn't even legally be permitted to do so is disgusting.
What benefit of the doubt?
The absolute best possible case is repulsive.
This is how you communicate a security breach.
Because she's that popular.
I'm willing to bet there were a comfortable 7 figures worth of extra viewers just because she was at the game.
I have no issue with battle royales.
I have a huge issue with literally all microtransactions in every context. Cosmetics are not a justification. The only valid way to unlock cosmetics is to earn them with gameplay.
If you have microtransactions in any format in your game, you are a bad human being. There is no scenario where it is forgivable. If you have lootboxes, you should go to prison for the blatant unregulated gambling operation you are running.
A fucking DNS resolver. And just blocking it in Germany isn't enough because VPNs exist.
Holy fucking hell what an insane judicial overreach.
If you're actually expecting people to transition without asking for help on a regular basis, you don't know people.
You just made yourself their IT guy for life.
