They are the most efficient way of transporting goods on land. Using huge cargo ships si still the most efficient way, once the distance is far enough and the volume high enough.

It’s not only about copying or distribution, but also use and reproduction. I can buy a legit DVD and play it in my own home and all is fine. Then I play it on my bar’s tv, in front of 100 people, and now it’s illegal. I can listen to a song however many times I want, but I can’t use it for anything other than private listening. In theory you should pay even if you want to make a video montage to show at your wedding.

Right now most licenses for copyrighted material specify that you use said material only for personal consumption. To use it for profit you need a special license

Copyrighted material can be used or reproduced only with a license that allows for it. If the license forbids you from using the copyrighted material for business purposes, and you do it anyway, then it’s pirating.

With the Guano Act the US “acquired” lots of islands all over the world. Choose one of those bird shit covered rocks and put him on there

If anomalies are detected, it tells your insurance company so they can increase your rates or drop you before you actually need to go to the hospital and cost them any money.

What’s that?

Opera mini was also great when I had very little MBs of internet traffic in my plan. Nowadays I have pretty much infinite traffic, so I haven’t used it in ages

Wait, is Microsoft using Google’s copyrighted work on their page without authorization? This is going to get pulled so fast they’re gonna get whiplash.

Ever heard of the internet bubble?

In Italy it’s illegal to raise the price if you are using a credit card. The price needs to be the same no matter the payment method

Wait, 10th anniversary?? WTF, I’m old

If I were CEO, I’d cut/sell any part of the business that doesn’t directly support CPU and GPU sales, which is basically what Intel is doing.

That’s pretty much what they did. They sold off most of the “other” stuff, like their modem division, shut down their SSD division, sold part of Mobileye shares in the IPO, and reportedly Intel is looking to sell part of Altera, their FPGA division.

The mac I plug into my work center via a single usb-c connection which charges it, connects it to my external monitor, and connects it to all of my USB equipment

I do this with my Dell, which also has many ports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

EoL of anything should mean open source code. You don’t want to open source your code? Then you must keep servicing your products and must keep your servers up

You can put bread in the freezer and it will keep extremely well. Absolutely avoid putting it in the fridge though.

You can then let it defrost naturally, or, if you slice it before freezing it, take out a couple of slices and put them in the toaster, after a couple of minutes is done, warm, and slightly toasted.

Unless you run a VPN

Ok, but this doesn’t explain why you would choose to self-host VaultWarden rather than using BitWarden.

Regardless of the legality of the action or the product itself, a video reviewing, showing or reporting on it shouldn’t be passable of a copyright claim.

Even if the video shows copyrighted material, it still shouldn’t be allowed for Nintendo to claim it, as that would fall under fair use. Just showing a few screenshots of a video game for the purposes of education in an otherwise unrelated video would never fall under copyright infringement.

The piracy argument has nothing to do with Nintendo claiming a video as their own, despite them having no rights to do so.

That’s not at all how piracy works. They don’t lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don’t, then nothing changed. It’s not like every company is entitled to my money.

Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.

We truly live in the future
