Of all the creatures big and small we’ve driven extinct, mosquitoes will not likely be the one that breaks the camel’s back.
- Comment on Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld isn't just bad for the industry, it's bad for Nintendo 1 month ago:
In the US, Atari tried to sue someone who made an Asteroids clone back in 1981 and lost because Meteors, the clone had made some improvements on the idea of Asteroids (color, among other things). This cemented US legal precedent that you can’t sue people for “ripping off” games so long as they make some meaningful change to it and aren’t just making a direct knock-off.
This current case is in Japan, however, where the legal landscape is very different and companies need to be legally aggressive to maintain any rights to their IP from what I understand. I have no idea how that’s going to go down.

Man, I haven’t thought of the Evil Overlord List in many, many years.
- Comment on Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots 2 months ago:
According to the article, they’re going for multiple counts of money laundering and wire fraud with 20 years each.
- Comment on Wells Fargo employee found dead in cubicle 4 days after she clocked in: ‘She was just lying on her desk’ 2 months ago:
Yeah, I worked in a secure facility that did this and it felt both secure and reasonable. I just kept my card on a lanyard to my belt so I literally couldn’t walk away without pulling the card.

And I still haven’t seen any taxis yet that offered Uber’s transparency about trip cost before committing.
- Comment on Everything old is new again. 4 months ago:
And also super expensive. I’ve had times where it was half the price to rent a car for the day than to get one taxi from the airport.
- Comment on Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died 4 months ago:
There are manual releases on each door inside, but I’m surprised they don’t have them outside as well.
- Comment on PSI 4 months ago:
You’d have to know a lot about how that PSI was measured and how their jaw is sized for that to be in any way useful.
- Comment on PSI 4 months ago:
I’ve experienced the same and always thought PSI is a pretty absurd way to gauge puncture damage like this.
- Comment on Amazon's Just Walk Out technology relies on hundreds of workers in India watching you shop 7 months ago:
What ever happened to doing this with UHF RFID? Getting the cost of the individual chips down was always just a matter of scaling production.
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
I do wish Robertson heads were more common. They’re almost as tough as torx, but tapered to stick on the tip of the tool, which is so convenient.
- Comment on Round 2 🚢 8 months ago:
US Subs has offered these for decades and they’re a legit commercial submarine firm. I’m not sure anyone actually wants to buy them.
- Comment on Steam :: Introducing Steam Families 8 months ago:
Seriously, it’s great to see Valve digging deeper into my heart with improvements to services like this.

I particularly appreciate the armored cow.
- Comment on _Real_ gaming router - GTA Vice City on a TP-Link router 8 months ago:
Not with any pci-e expansion sockets. I’m not even sure it could address a proper pci-e GPU.
- Comment on _Real_ gaming router - GTA Vice City on a TP-Link router 8 months ago:
That would be pretty impressive, actually.
- Comment on Reification 9 months ago:
Yeah and it’s cheaper to fly to Europe to see a concert than to get tickets in the US these days.

You might say she paid for it.

Thanks, Donald.

Yes, the intended target audience is desperate addicts who can be tricked into committing a crime that

A quick search turned up one town in SC, but I’m not seeing much else.
It’s really not at all ridiculous to seek expertise from experts when implementing a new system. However, it’s not surprising people wouldn’t think of the overlap between fast food and vaccine distribution, especially since most fast food does a piss-poor job of managing their own lines.
- Comment on This is just cruel 10 months ago:
This has been referred to as “bone apple teas” for many years, but “eggcorn” is a good single-word term for it.
- Comment on Those bastards at Fisher-Price knew exactly what they were doing. 10 months ago:
Or worse… maybe they expect us to go down to the local warehouse and pick the items we want to buy off the shelves ourselves instead of having them delivered.
- Comment on Wait until they get to pineapples... 10 months ago:
A likely story.
- Comment on Tesla recalls 120,000 vehicles over potentially faulty doors that could open in a crash 10 months ago:
Can we please stop acting like every firmware update they push is done major recall?
- Comment on Hyperloop One to Shut Down After Failing to Reinvent Transit 10 months ago:
Isn’t hyperloop like the opposite kind of transit to your typical public transit of the type he hates? Like, the only thing it can really compete with is airlines for long distance rapid transit.
- Comment on HP raising Instant Ink subscription pricing significantly 10 months ago:
I got a huge office printing center thing from government liquidation out of my nearby military base for $55. It came with more toner than I could ever use in my lifetime.
