Just once in their life, I wish Nintendo would be cool and understand that this isn’t hurting them. There is no overlap between the sort of people who would buy games for the switch and the sort of people who emulate their games.

That’s it. In my mind, Nintendo is actually worse than Disney.

Google Play Music was the last streaming service I actually enjoyed.

There has been enough study on the subject that for jobs that lend themselves to the work from home model, it absolutely does increase productivity.

I do think there should be an option to work in office for those who can’t work from home for personal reasons.

Things don’t just become a national security asset that easily, though, a long-standing relationship with trust is something incredibly important.

Good points. I guess what I should have more accurately said is that Intel has a long standing working relationship with the American government.

Given that Intel is an asset to national security. I think any sort of buyout would be under intense scrutiny.

I did miss that Qualcomm was also American though, but I still think about it would be treacherous regardless.

I just don’t think, regardless of financial situation, Intel would want to sell even a portion of their business. right now. Everything they’ve communicated to their shareholders and the public at large signals that despite a recent downturn, they really believe they have a strategy for long-term market dominance.

Not to mention the entire national security angle of intel being the only American chip manufacturer.

This is very fair, but then again, my parents would get confused over the difference between an Xbox and a PlayStation, so take that for what you will.

It might be a ripoff, but my question to you is should that be illegal? The entirety of humanity is monkey see monkey do iteration on our previous ideas. It’s a dubious thing to litigate.

To add to that, no fan of either is going to confuse one for the other, so where’s the issue?

sharing aesthetic shouldn’t be enough to prosecute, especially in the case of patents.

My biggest defense against any claim like that is that they’re identifiably distinct. You put two of them side by side and not a single fan of either will be confused which is which.

Ah, I just assumed, thanks for the correction.

It’s still identifiably distinct, I really hope Nintendo lose because allowing copyright of a concecpt is dystopian especially in the context of our lengthy time frames for copyright.

It reminds me of when Apple wanted to patent the idea of rounded corners.

Remember when they kept getting attacked for being “woke”.

I know the average person usually doesn’t care, but surely most of the population of reddit must have realized how shit it is by now.

I know we’re all pretty mad at Intel right now but I really hope they do manage to recover because we’ve all seen what happens to the industry when there’s no competition.

Yup, it uses a local version of Whisper AI and it is FANTASTIC, swipe texting is not quite as good as gboard but voice recognition is next level.

The four multinational corporations I worked at were almost entirely Windows servers with the exception of vendor specific stuff running Linux. Companies REALLY want that support clause in their infrastructure agreement.

It just damaged mine, it was crashing all the time before I messed around and tried power limiting mine. It was about 2 weeks before it got revealed that it was a wide spread issue.

I don’t think I caught it early enough, though, because I have a lot of problems with my USB controller. It can only handle like two or three devices plugged in at a time before things stop working. But, technically, it still works, so… I think I’d have trouble making a warranty claim.

This is the exact same problem in the United States and even Canada right now. It’s leading me to believe it’s the inevitable conclusion of a first past the post system.

We can dream
