  1. This is just plain stupid. A pathetic attempt at shouting "we are still relevant, we are still the king, look at us".............
  2. The poisonous mindset that makes ppl into a smombie. No you dont have to be available at all times, no you dont have to reach anyone at anytime and instantly, and this is especially true for kids in 99.9% of the time. There is always a tomorrow and there is always a game they can play at home when for whatever reason they cant go outside. Never had a phone as a kid until i got into middle school (even then it was some cheap basic one) and still survived and still had friends. And i mean real friends who help in trouble instead of running.
  3. Good move. Now we only have to figure out how to cure the already existing smombies.........
  4. I wonder who is ignoring reality here. There is no such thing as a legal monopoly, it shows in their actions pretty plainly too. (See the examples in my previous post.) They lie, they cheat, they steal. A monopoly is rotten to the core and thus cannot be called legal by any stretch of the meaning.
  5. Yeah sure, that is why specific laws exist against them..... /s Havent noticed that with their popovers and malicious browser take-overs (taking over the data of a different browser without consent is just that)........
  6. Yeah sure /s, try having anything else than an iphone as a company phone.......... (you wont, the company will force that garbage down your throat)
  7. You just wrote the exact reason why MS(py) will never respect their customers. They are a monopoly and they know you cannot go anywhere else so they just do whatever they want without consequences....
  8. Company forced that junk on my father. Helped him to set ut up, i do not want to experience that again. A simple mundane task like setting your won ringrone took dozens of steps to do......
  9. No sh!t sherlock, get a 1k$ android phone and watch your argument fall apart. (Id wager even a 500$ android phone would suffice for ~90% of ppl.)
  10. Lat time i read about this the separation between the reverse engineering and coding team was enough, didnt require a totally different company. (Its not practical and doesnt add anything. If the devs want they can still talk directly whether its just separate teams or separate comapny.)
  11. I beg to differ, sony lost because non of their code was present in the end product, the BIOS was only used for reverse engineering. I think that is pretty much a clean room trait.
  12. Way to belittle a legal precedent. Sony lost because a clean room amulator is not violating any of their rights, even if it is a paid for commercial SW.
  13. The emulator devs werent distributing that mouse either so IDK why you bring it up, either way im not interested in pointless bickering after sony famously lost its case against the ps emulator (/edit which was actually sold commercially) in court. And as a matter of fact if you use diff files you aint largerly protected, you are fully protected because the diff files only contain your work.
  14. I think it is pretty clear but okay. Differentials (often called diff) are simple files, these files though are not complete. As the name suggest these contain the differences between two files, it can be used to restore the original file or to modify the original into the new file. Legally speaking this pretty much pulls out the teeth of any legal action attempted by a company because these files only include the changes you made in the file and useless without the original file (for which you need to have the game).
  15. Not an issue, like at all. You just have to use differentials, these only contain the parts you changed and have ownership of. The company cannot do anything against that.
  16. Like the dev has any say what users do with their copy they own, its asinine how ppl think this is fine. Its like VW sending me a letter that lists how i can use my car and they will sue me if i get any financial gain out of it (like going to work).......
  17. I dont see an issue with it, why a mod dev should not be able to charge for their time writing the code? Its like saying that the trinus vr project is also illegal because it is profiting off of sonys psvr.........
  18. Actually you can download the fw from sony (at least for the ps3. /on Repo probably cloned at least a gazillion times so little tantruming n can have fun playing whack-a-mole......
  19. Id it is more like a side effect of their main goal (stability) rather than their goal.. If you drop HW stupid like MS that is very far from stability.
  20. Sure they can, but they can be good as well. AI in contrast is just plain bad all the time......
  21. At that point you might as well better off making a native app and skip the middleware.........
  22. Its like there isnt a standard that every single one of them supports....... /s I thought devs learned their lesson from the IE debackle but guess i was wrong.
  23. Id say its an example why you should avoid cloud connected devices in general.......
