If Microsoft was a smaller company, this would completely ruin them and the next headline would be them declaring bankruptcy after failing to fight off 50,000 lawsuits. Fortunately for them, laws don't apply to companies their size.
You can bet your ass they paid a lot of money to get their malware on your computer. It should be illegal to load consumer hardware with 3rd party bloatware that can't be removed.
The way it was explained to me was that regardless of gender, if you see someone in the woods, there might be other people nearby and they might pose a serious threat to you. Bears don't really gang up on people, so you should be okay if you keep your distance.
I don't know whether or not I agree with that risk assessment, but I can see that it comes from a logical standpoint.
That doesn't matter. If you buy a house and miss a sentence buried in page 2,784 of the agreement that says that the previous owner can arbitrarily decide to take the house back whenever they feel like it, that still won't hold up in court. Digital products need to work the same way.
That doesn't matter. You don't get to just unlitaterally revoke something people paid for because they didn't want to sign up for an account at a company that was unrelated to Minecraft when they bought the game. This should be illegal.
You need more data to recognize frames, but not a lot more data. A hash for each quality setting would be sufficient as long as they don't start fuzzing the videos, which would be very expensive on their part.
It's illegal to not identify an ad as an ad (unless you're a movie maker, but that's a different topic). All ad blockers need to do is read that indicator. That might not be super simple, but I have faith in the abilities of the brilliant people behind many ad-blocking technologies.
Myanmar's average internet speed looks to be around 10-20mbps, so they probably stream with lower quality. Their GDP per capita is ~$1,150, so ads being shown to people in Myanmar wouldn't be worth much anyway.
If replicators existed in our universe, they would probably have some sort of DRM built-in and make you pay a fee to the people who made the patterns it replicates whenever you use it. This would naturally progress to bundles and subscriptions, just like how we went from digitally "buying" movies to paying for streaming services that give us access to a large bundle of media. There would also be no way around this because whoever invented the technology would be the only one selling it and the DRM would likely be hardware-level.
I don't really get why people use any time other than ms/seconds since the epoch for anything other than displaying that time to the end user. Having time just be a single number with no time zone shenanigans makes writing logic like that so much easier.
If they can prove you got a bunch of gold with a loan and then your descendants suddenly have a bunch of gold, but they can't prove it's the same gold, is that enough to make the descendants pay back the loan?
What if you did it with Monero to make it impossible to prove it's the same money?
I only tried one example, so the sample size is pretty small, but that search engine seems pretty bad. I tried looking up "rust bevy points" in both Google and Yep. The first Google result is a library to draw points in Bevy and the rest are pretty relevant. Yep simply doesn't have that result at all and all of their results are just generic results about Bevy.
I tried DDG for the sake of comparison and it's somewhere in-between. The results are mostly relevant and the "correct" result is still on the first page.
