According to Ofcom, platforms must not host, share or permit content encouraging use of VPNs to get around age checks. The government told the BBC under the Online Safety Act, it will be illegal for platforms to do this.
Ofcom is the regulator so I’m guessing they read the law a little more closely than you.

Uhhhhh. Yeah, yeah they are. lol. Like, what a weird thing to claim.

Not who you’re responding to but techlinked called out that it’s illegal as well and showed the legislation text in their video. But if you’re not implementing the ID check in the first place then mentioning vpns doesn’t matter at all. I can’t even get your link to load.

I’m not talking about being able to run on those other hardware. I’m talking about Nintendo devs literally being able to write code for that other hardware. You expand to numerous platforms you get more bugs. You need more devs. You need devs that know more platforms. It has nothing to do with Nintendo gimmicks. It has to do with building for more platforms just by default being more buggy (which is exactly what happens).

Nintendo’s exclusives likely wouldn’t work as well on other consoles or would show significant bugs or problems. Their games are purpose built for their hardware.

Your numbers are so far off as to be meaningless. If the real numbers are half that, and you compare to their competitors, then it’s an entirely different story. The numbers you provide are completely integral to your argument, and your numbers being so wrong means you’re just complaining about nothing.

It is 100% capitalism’s fault. Those scientists are doing a job because we live in a society that necessitates having one to meet our basic needs.
absolutely not…
Your take is grade-school level simplistic that just assumes they simply have to be bad people instead of understanding the complexities of systemic forces that dictate our society.
no. My take is that if you remove capitalism, can the bad science still occur? Is it possible at all for it to occur? Yes. Since the scientists are the ones doing the science. It’s not business doing the science, it’s not capitalists doing the science. It’s the scientists doing the science.
And they don’t have to be bad people at all. They just have to not think about the consequences of their actions. Inattentive, ignorant, unable to think more than a few minutes into the future. None of these things make them bad people. But it does make them bad scientists. And it does make the science bad.
Please, for the love of God, learn to look beyond the surface of something and learn why things are the way they are instead of just assuming nonsense.
holy shit, you’re the one not looking beyond the surface of something. Capitalism is always the boogie man for people like you. Like for fucks sake dude, scientists can be bad. Science can be bad! We literally have bad scientists in the white house right now claiming all sorts of shit that is going to get people killed! And it has nothing to do with capitalism. RFK Jr literally believes the bullshit he says, and it’s because of bad science, not because he’s being paid to say it.
Think about Jurassic Park like this: if those scientists were given those tools and told to build a park and told they weren’t going to be paid for it, but all the tools they needed would be given to them, could the park be built? Now ask the exact same question but replace scientists with “capitalist”: “if capitalists were given science tools and told to build a park and told they weren’t going to be paid for it, but all the tools they needed would be given to them, could the park be built.”
The answer is incredibly clear. Without the scientists, the park would never be built. It doesn’t matter how much money exists on the planet. It doesn’t matter if it’s capitalism, communism, anarchism, whatever-fucking-system, the park isn’t being built without the bad science. It doesn’t matter how many other employees you put on that island, the park isn’t getting built without the bad science.

That’s just a dumb way to act like those scientists don’t have a will of their own. Those scientists have ethics (or a lack thereof). They have their own will. They are not forced to work on the project that has no scientific outcome. They’re either working on it because they’re bad scientists, because they’re evil, or because they think it’s cool. All of which is bad science. It’s not capitalism’s fault. It’s unethical scientists.

But it’s not a zoo, like even in the slightest. It’s a theme park.
They don’t have a full dinosaur genome so they literally make stuff up. Not only that, but just like with the Colossal Bioscience stuff that’s literally happening right now, there’s no learning for these brought-back-to-life creatures so they will not behave anything like their actual prehistoric counterparts. It is bad science because there’s no reason to be doing the science at all. It won’t replicate anything from the past (for so so so many reasons) and it has so many unethical things to get past before it’s even slightly in -eh- territory.

There’s a recent Behind the Bastards episode on the main dude behind Colossal (who is actually a very well known scientist) and exactly how he is using science to do bad things without considering the consequences.

lol, no it’s not easy. You saying “easy” doesn’t mean it is in any sense of the word. Like the person you’ve been responding to before said, usb c can support many things and not support others. For example, USB C cables can literally be unidirectional! That sure isn’t listed because it’s assumed to work bidirectionally, but it’s not a requirement. I literally have a unidirectional usb c cable in fact.
Just cause it says 480 doesn’t mean jack when
-
You weren’t talking about this cable originally, you were making a claim about a cable that literally wasn’t mentioned in the article. I gave an example of a cable that directly disproved your comment in a facetious manner.
-
No consumer should be expected to know usb c standards (that’s literally the point of this conversation)
-
480 Mbps has nothing to do with supporting video. This Reddit thread explains it way better than I can, but support for a feature in the cable has absolutely nothing to do with data transfer rate. www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/…/j5dohy5/

Which cable are you talking about? This one supports data and mentions nothing about alt modes. ikea.com/…/rundhult-usb-c-to-usb-c-black-white-20…
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 1 week ago:
Did you know that USB C cables can be unidirectional? As in, they only work plugged in in one direction. You know how I know that? Cause I’ve soldered usb-c cables myself. I own one that only plugs in in one direction (and works)! I’m honestly very surprised you’ve only had issues with charging, do you not need them for data? So many of my cables are charging only, they literally do not function for data at all. It’s a nightmare.

And you’ll never see it on an Apple product, though you’ll never find an Apple product that isn’t supporting the full standard it’s still a problem when you’re trying to find a cable and aren’t sure if you’re using a real Apple one or a lookalike.
- Comment on Bring them back!!! 1 week ago:
In addition to what you’re saying, a big part of the movie is why are we doing this? Is there anything to be gained from it? We’re currently having that conversation with the “dire wolves” that Colossal Bioscience has created. They’re not actually dire wolves, in any sense of the word, so all we’re learning is how to genetically modify creatures. We’re not learning anything about the creatures themselves. There’s no purpose to doing the same with Dinos, there’s no dna left to match against and the environment is completely different, they wouldn’t act the same at all.

The latest tech isn’t proven to last, might be harder to integrate, might require making design choices that affect the production line, the reliability of the phone, the battery longevity, the supply chain, the operating system, etc. Using the newest tech is a surefire way to make sure you have to do a recall, if you’re the biggest companies on the planet.

- Comment on Costco changed the bag to plastic!! 3 weeks ago:
The countless articles made with money by industries that don’t want to use recycled plastic cause it would buy into their bottom line? Yeah I’m gonna believe the one that actually showed the process and tests they did and are willing to make less money by reusing plastic.
Why would the quality degrading matter for cheap plastic shit coming from other industries? You don’t need your shampoo bottle to last longer, you don’t need your deodorant stick container to last longer. The only reason they wouldn’t use recycled plastic is because it’s going to cut into their profit.

Palestine supports Ukraine. www.aljazeera.com/…/are-palestinians-pro-russia
The Palestinians, who have long suffered from Israeli wars and occupation, wish for the war in Ukraine to end, for Ukraine to be free. They stand in solidarity with the victims.
Ukraine supports Palestine
aljazeera.com/…/ukrainian-letter-of-solidarity-wi…
If you believe otherwise you’re literally falling for Israeli and Russian propaganda.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
This has to be the most braindead propaganda take I’ve ever heard. You think that supporting Ukraine is the opposite of supporting Palestine? They’re both countries being invaded against their will by terroristic governments. If you support Palestine you support Ukraine, full stop. If you think otherwise you are so brainwashed you literally can’t think for yourself.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
This has to be one of the most propaganda ridden bullshit takes I’ve ever seen. You’re so brainwashed you think it’s appropriate for any country to be invading another. Fuck off.

Trash Panda isn’t an article, they’re a disc golf manufacturer that solely uses recycled plastic. They’ve tested with recycling the exact same plastic more than ten times. And I have no clue what you are talking about with scotch tape, it’s literally designed to be tearable, just like the Costco bag in the picture….
- Comment on Costco changed the bag to plastic!! 3 weeks ago:
That’s just categorically false. Trash Panda Disc Golf does a video on just that myth. The problem with recycling has nothing to do with degradation. It has to do with economics. New plastic is cheap. Reusing plastic isn’t.
