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.

I'm voting for this guy in November.

At 10kV, a random stick would be all it takes to start an arc. He knows what he's doing.

The lowest tip value should be higher to reflect current tip pressuring tactics.

A buddy has been testing whether his LLMs he puts together are properly jailbroken by asking them to explain how to build the silliest bomb possible. I find that terribly amusing. Unfortunately they don't usually come up with anything particularly silly.

Man, I haven't thought of the Evil Overlord List in many, many years. Thanks for that.

I only ever use Michaelsoft Binbows.

According to the article, they're going for multiple counts of money laundering and wire fraud with 20 years each.

Let's not forget about HotHardware. They're still carrying the torch of detailed hardware analysis as well my beloved NotebookCheck.

I've found that's because their mice will go to sleep and upon first waking they'll briefly use an onboard profile before switching to the G Hub profile. This is also why it might feel like it has a different DPI briefly or different light settings for just a flash. The only way to fix this is to use their totally separate OnboardMemoryManager software to change the onboard settings while running G Hub. It solved this issue for me and it's infuriating that this isn't built into G Hub...

According to the description, it's just the sensor, not the latch. The microswitch has a lever like many do and that lever can become bent if damaged which would prevent it from warning the user if they failed to latch the hood. Most older cars just had a secondary latch so if you failed to latch it completely, at least the secondary one would catch it...

Microswitch lever fatigue is what this sounds like and it's really not the kind of thing that a QA team could ever detect without years of testing. This is just how it'll go as we add more bells and whistles to all our cars. More obscure new issues will be identified years down the line and added to institutional knowledge for future use.

The only way the hood can pop open on the highway is if it was open before you departed, so the warning would alert the user just like the switch did before they can drive to a dangerous speed.

Although the problem is with the hood latch, as with many Tesla safety recalls, the problem can be fixed with an over-the-air software patch.

I've seen a lot of such salt water tank pics and never seen this particular blend of horrible, so I'm going with the jpeg theory.

Why did he not push for this before the final months of his presidency? Why wait until the 11th hour?

What's up with the messed up colors in that image?

Thanks for answering the question before we could even ask.
