The rendering is, but the patent isn’t.

Apple patents all sorts of weird shit. 99% of it never gets made. They just want the money from patent litigation and licensing.
- Comment on Intel to Announce Plans This Week to Cut More Than 20% of Staff 1 day ago:
Honestly, Intel has been up shit creek for a while now. No one big wants to use Intel’s fabs because they’re afraid that Intel’s design team will copy their homework.
Vertical integration has fucked Intel. TSMC’s fabs get all the important contracts from Nvidia, Apple, etc. And the massive client volume allows them to accelerate the evolution of their fab tech.
Intel needs to break their chip design business and fab into two separate businesses, otherwise it’s a continuation of the death march.

They do. That said, now that it’s really easy to mask whois data, I would argue that’s a less than perfect solution.

This would be interesting if you could control daily and weekly spending limits or have authorized retailers in-app, but you can’t.
This doesn’t actually solve a problem for users.

Question is, do I downvote the crappy product because I hate it, or do I upvote it so other people can learn about it and hate it with me?

On one hand, the government should be looking at OSS. On the other hand, screw Microsoft’s shitty office software. If missing out on massive government contracts forces them to improve it, I’m all for it.

- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 3 weeks ago:
Fun fact, if you adjust for inflation, this machine is only $52 more than the original switch was at launch.
This is basically the originally pricing, adjusted for inflation + Trump’s 20% Chinese manufacturing tariff.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 3 weeks ago:
Looks like we’re seeing the impact of inflation + tariffs.
The OG Switch was $300 in 2017. This console would be about $350 if you adjusted for inflation.

- Comment on Judge dismisses Samsung’s smart ring lawsuit against Oura 3 weeks ago:
In its suit, Samsung alleged that Oura had a history of filing patent suits against competitors like Ultrahuman, RingConn, and Circular for “features common to virtually all smart rings,” such as sensors, batteries, and common health metrics.
The problem is the features, it’s that Samsung is copying the very concept of a smart ring. Oura was the first company to make and patent biometric smart rings. So, yeah, if you make a biometric smart ring without paying them, you’re getting sued. That’s how patents work.
For the past 30 years, Samsung’s consumer product development strategy has been 75% “copy the competitors, then pay lawyers to fight it out.”
- Comment on Split Keyboards Are Superior And The Reason I’m The Writer I Am Today. 3 weeks ago:
You will encounter this man at work.
They will ask for your help with something on their workstation, and it would be faster for you to drive with them watching over your shoulder, but this cryptic thing is their keyboard.
Instead, you will be forced to sit behind them like Patrick Swayze guiding Demi Moore at a throwing wheel. You will eventually take your shirt off, launch Unchained Melody in Spotify, then slowly guide them through a system setting panel.
You will notice how soft their hands feel. The hyper-ergonomic keyboard has allowed their fingers to move with minimal effort, allowing the skin to remain as supple, smooth - almost unused.
You will ask yourself, “Is he right?” How could a keyboard be so aggressive and wrong, and yet, support something so gentile.
You try to deny the feeling. Your friends and family will mock you like your uncle Dvorak. Maybe you start with a trackball and see if being naughty feels right.

- Comment on GM blocks dealership from installing Apple CarPlay retrofit kits in EVs 4 weeks ago:
Some of the newer auto manufacturers do that. Telsa, Rivian, etc. Those companies all have good in-house software developers. Almost everyone else farms this stuff out, which is why it’s never updated.
