    Demonking reacted to YoungBlade in JerryRigEverything and DBrand Sues Casetify for Copyright Infringement   
    The phrase "Glass is glass and glass breaks" is a catchphrase for JerryRigEverything. It isn't going to be inside any phones. And unlike other copyright traps, like fake trivia or fake towns on a map, Dbrand and JRE did not try to claim that these were real features or facts. They were advertised as Easter eggs.

    Gonna be a weird "case" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) cause how can they copyright an xray design...? Doesn't that xray belong to whichever phone has been "xrayed?" The internal exact layount all belong to either Apple, Samsung, Google or whatever.
     
    Just seems like a think that cant be copyrighted. Like someone copyrighting an apshalts surface so watchout anyone laying roads, you could accidentaly copy someone elses microspocpic road bond.
     
    Like you can't stray too much away from the original. There's a reference baseline for a reason.

    Demonking reacted to grg994 in Google proposes turning browsers into DRM software for the web | Ending AD Blocking for all browsers   
    I just want to say there were a lot of people here including LTT, who said about the recent Youtube controversies that paying to Google for Youtube Premium might be a reasonable way.
     
    I hope you all see now what your money you pay to Google is being used to! (...developing drm techs like this)

    Demonking reacted to da na in Google proposes turning browsers into DRM software for the web | Ending AD Blocking for all browsers   
    Like with any DRM, it will inevitably just become an arms race of addons and extensions trying to circumvent website DRM, and Google trying to block addons, wasting a ton of time and money that could be spent somewhere useful.
    At this rate I won't be too bothered if solar flares knock out internet access for several years.

    Demonking reacted to LAwLz in AMD accused of (and implicitly admits) preventing sponsored Games from supporting DLSS   
    I never said it was anything wrong with that.
    It's specifically the "you're not allowed to use this thing from our competitor" that I take issue with.
     
     
    Do you have any examples of Nvidia doing the same thing? And by "same thing" I specifically mean telling a game studio that they are explicitly not allowed to use a competing technology from AMD.
    Just to be clear because I feel lie people strawman me a lot right now. I have no problem whatsoever with a manufacturer saying "hey, we will help you implement our technology", which then leads the game dev to go "we don't feel like it's worth the effort to implement the other one". What I am against is one company telling another company that they aren't allowed to use something from the competitor.
     
    I'd also like to point out that even if Nvidia has done this (which I kind of doubt they have), that doesn't make what AMD does morally right. That would just make them both shit in my eyes. If this turns out to be true that is.

    Demonking reacted to OhioYJ in Amazon health care   
    Yeah, I don't see this going well... Amazon is out for information. Not to be helpful. So recently I switched jobs, and that meant new insurance. My new insurance cover my very generic maintenance medication in a 90 day supply for some reason at any local pharmacy, only in 30 day supplies. My insurance company tells me to contact Amazon RX as they will do 90 day supplies through that. First thing Amazon does is ask me about my medication, which I entered. Then it proceeded to let me enter all sorts of personal information and create an account only to tell me they don't carry my medication (the first question they asked before any info was entered). Then they continue to spam me with emails asking me to move RXs to their service?
     
    Just for context my prescription is so generic and common I can get it without insurance through a local pharmacy for under $10.

    Demonking reacted to vertigo220 in Discord might be throttling your Nvidia GPU's memory   
    And? I realize that, and I don't patronize sites and services like that as much as possible. Just because it's common doesn't make it any less wrong or worthy of ditching especially when there are better alternatives that don't do these things. Comments and attitudes like this aren't helpful at all, and are why these companies feel they can do whatever they want. If you're fine with that kind of behavior, as well as all the other crap, by all means continue using them. I'm not trying to convince people that are ok with it to switch, as that would be a waste of time; I'm just trying to make people aware so if they do care they know there are other options.

    this client is so poorly made it actively drags down the rest of your computer with it, like a cancerous tumor in your body.
    those third party clients are looking quite attractive, all they really need is robust plugin support and they can actually rival the offical client.

    Demonking reacted to Sauron in Xbox Is Now the First Carbon Aware Console, Update Rolling Out to Everyone Soon   
    Do you run your xbox on battery power?
    I do think it's quite marginal, standby power is already very low and they could also just let you turn it off. Better packagning is nice but it's too little, too late. This stuff should be the baseline of what is even acceptable. Instead they get tax writeoffs for it.

    It's just a confirmation bias. You could easily say that all users with broken cards were sitting when it happened so it's recommended for people to stand when using the PC.

    Demonking reacted to porina in AMD Radeon RX 6000 GPUs Mysteriously Start Dying, German Repair Shop Receives 48 Cards With Cracked Chips - Is it from a Driver Update? (Updated)   
    The reports of everyone using the same driver doesn't immediately strike as something high on the list to worry about. People generally keep up to date with drivers, and being on reportedly the latest one is expected.
