  • The official support of Windows 7 has finally ended today!

    Jump

  • As far as the performance issues go, I've experienced a lot of those when I first upgraded from 10 to 11. After reinstalling though, the performance has been amazing.

    I hate all of the constant advertising of MS products and services, especially in the case of Edge, because so many of those products are genuinely amazing, and people won't give them a chance because it's shoved down their throats.

  • The fact that an insane number of sites use it makes it a big deal. If it dies, there will be plenty of dead links

  • Maybe they'll replace ads on sites that let them and block them on other sites? Who knows

  • Switch emulator Ryujinx shuts down development after “contact by Nintendo”

    Jump

  • Where did I say "oh well, nothing we can do?" You're literally tying random arguments to my name.

    Nobody here made the argument that what is legal is exactly what is fair. Nobody here made the argument that Nintendo being overly litigious is a good thing. The only argument made is that copyright law is flawed because companies abuse it and that lawmakers need to fix it.

  • Switch emulator Ryujinx shuts down development after “contact by Nintendo”

    Jump

  • He never said that creating an emulator was illegal. He said that Nintendo is legally in the clear to do what they did. In Yuzu's case, Nintendo sued and both parties settled, and they reached an "agreement" with Ryujinx to take down its emulator.

    As far as I'm aware, the Yuzu case isn't settled law as it calls into question whether the use of dumped keys to "bypass" copy protections is legal under the DMCA. This question isn't about emulation, even if it's a step required for emulation to be possible.

    Since there are many issues with copyright law right now, corporations have a free pass to bully people in a multitude of ways, and the Yuzu lawsuit and Ryujinx "agreement" are just new ways of doing the same thing. All OP is saying is that lawmakers need to re-create copyright and IP laws to make them more fair and make sense so that content creators and/or homebrew devs and/or fangame creators and/or emulator devs can do their work with a far less shaky legal foundation.

  • Lobbying is a good concept corrupted by greed, as are many things in the US.

  • OpenAI to remove non-profit control and give Sam Altman equity

    Jump

  • OpenAI the non-profit owned OpenAI the company since the company was created. The non-profit is simply reducing its stake/share of the company and giving it to investors and/or Altman

  • Creators get way more money with Premium viewers than ad-based ones, or at least it used to be that way.

  • Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy

    Jump

  • "Competitors choosing" is usually considered to be price fixing, which is anti-competitive and/or monopolistic. Amazon et al aren't the only US companies guilty of this or other anti-competitive behaviors, even if they're a notable example.

  • Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy

    Jump

  • It's a mix of both. When Amazon came around, stores got less traffic and had to get rid of niche products, and because shelf space was so important, there could only be so many products carried by a store.

  • LLMs have real uses, even if they're being overhyped right now. Even if they do fail, though, more nuclear power is a great outcome

  • You mean the TSMC.

  • Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months

    Jump

  • As someone with few USBs available, Ventoy takes me 2 minutes to flash, several minutes to copy a set of ISOs, and then any time I need it, it takes 0 minutes to have a working USB with some arbitrary ISO. Sure, it's not up to date, but I don't need it to be if I need to recover an install or use some random tool.
