It's legal. Even if you sell on the product after the fact. There's no accounting for whether or not you kept your backup. They don't know what happened to the file. Perhaps you sold the entire console, games and all. Perhaps you lost the physical cartridge and someone else found it and sold it. The point is, Nintendo shouldn't be allowed to brick a physical device just because they feel like someone might have violated the law. They aren't judge and jury.

My new rent portal is one of these sites. Can't just not pay rent because I don't like chromium browsers.

There shouldn't need to be a better way. There are lots of places where using a MIG cart is legal to download games you have already purchased from the physical cartridge.

It's bullshit that they have somehow normalized the idea that they have the right to do this to paying customers in the first place.

Cars do have that in what amounts to a TCU or Telematics Control Unit. The main problem here isn't whether or not cars have that technology. It's about the relevant government agency forcing companies like Tesla (and other automakers) to produce that data not just when there's a crash, but as a matter of course.

I have a lot of questions about why Tesla's are allowed on public roads when some of the models haven't been crash tested. I have a lot of questions about why a company wouldn't hand over data in the event of a crash without the requirement of a court order. I don't necessarily agree that cars should be able to track us (if I buy it I own it and nobody should have that kind of data without my say so). But since we already have cars that do phone this data home, local, state, and federal government should have access to it. Especially when insurance companies are happy to use it to place blame in the event of a crash so they don't have to pay out an insurance policy.

Yes. That clip.

They already argued once in court that this was detailed in the TOS. Dunno if the appeal will do anything, but Google isn't exactly hurting for the money.

He may well have done but the only clip I have seen is the one where someone asks about it while he's streaming games and he responded to that person with misinformation.

They'll likely appeal.

For those who don't know, this streamer is only tangentially related to the stop killing games petition because he made a comment about it being BS because he misinterpreted what it was supposed to do. He used his misinterpretation to spread false information about this petition leading to it not getting the support it initially should have.

When the guy behind the petition made a statement saying he didn't think the petition was going to get enough signatures in part because of the misinformation being spread about it, PirateSoftware doubled down on his false claims and all of this lead to people doing the research they should have done in the first place and deciding to support the petition after all.

What we should probably be learning from this is that we should do our own research, and find out things instead of taking the word of random people online.

Edit: electric has brought to my attention that it wasn't just one clip, but in fact a whole video dedicated to spreading misinformation that was made by Thor from PirateSoftware. Just wanted to be clear about that.

In the case of my fully updated pixel 9 pro XL, Gemini was installed from the factory. I uninstalled it and installed Google Assistant. It has not re-installed itself for me, and further, I would recommend that if you don't use Gemini, you uninstall it.

This may change once the July patch hits but. As of right now it's not currently installed.

There's one major problem with what you're saying. It's that ICE is actively jailing people without giving them due process. As an entity it is assuming guilt which is in direct conflict with the constitution. Because it's violating the rights of the people it is no longer a government agency acting for the people, and because it's actively breaking the law it is not protected. If you can't understand that without due process they can and possibly will arrest you and deport you somewhere regardless of your constitutional right to reside in the US then you are in fact missing the main point of this app and there's a reason people are down-voting you.

Also, you're making a lot of assumptions about what the app is for, and still posit no actual proof of your position. You have made an assumption here and when confronted about your opinion based on that assumption you have continued to double down instead of even considering the alternatives.

And speed traps aren't intended to be a detterant. I don't know why you think that's the case but in fact they are set up specifically to catch speeders. The deterrence is a bonus. But a lot of police departments make money for their municipality via speeding tickets. So don't try to play like we can just ignore this so you can feel like you've won.

In all actuality I believe the point of being able to report a speed trap is to allow people to avoid getting caught breaking the law which amounts to the same thing.

Google maps and Waze can absolutely be used to show where to attack law enforcement. They can also be used to avoid law enforcement. What you're saying is that you feel like the intention of the app is to break the law in some way but you've been given a similar app that does basically the same thing and you back up nothing or what you've said with documented case law or even the laws you think this app is breaking. Cool. Good talk.

I want you to explain to me how when Google does it (allowing anyone with an app to report a speed trap - you know where law enforcement is present) it's legal but when some random developer who's not a multi-million dollar Corp does it, it's illegal and obstruction.

I'll wait for your list of case law.

I already have some issues with my public tone sounding... Too official. Using the em-dash just makes it seem like I might be a bot. I'm not going to bother with that.

Word roots say they have a point though. Artifice, Artificial etc. I think the main problem with the way both of the people above you are using this terminology is that they're focusing on the wrong word and how that word is being conflated with something it's not.

LLM's are artificial. They are a man made thing that is intended to fool man into believing they are something they aren't. What we're meant to be convinced they are is sapiently intelligent.

Mimicry is not sapience and that's where the argument for LLM's being real honest to God AI falls apart.

Sapience is missing from Generative LLM's. They don't actually think. They don't actually have motivation. What we're doing when we anthropomorphize them is we are fooling ourselves into thinking they are a man-made reproduction of us without the meat flavored skin suit. That's not what's happening. But some of us are convinced that it is, or that it's near enough that it doesn't matter.

I like the em dash and am very upset that AI has stolen it.

The database is the backbone of them being able to hurt or harm so I'd say it's pretty important. Here's the other problem though. The federal government under Trump is having a really difficult time protecting the personal identifiable information of the citizens. Not only have they allowed private companies to access that data (palantir etc), but they are also having a lot of difficulties with cyber attacks. Part of the reason those cyber attacks haven't been as effective as they could be is because the data isn't localized in one place. Now that's exactly what they're trying to do with this.

I mean. Apex Launcher does all this stuff (except I don't know what organize app icons in bulk means in this context). If it means apply an icon pack? Then it does that.

Hey. Just because you are different doesn't mean you're a burden. You don't deserve to feel like that. Nobody should make you feel like that.

Even if these feelings aren't coming from external factors I want you to know you're not a burden and asking for help and advice is hard and I'm proud of you that you did so. Nobody has all the answers. Even the most put together people have struggles. They have things they aren't good at.

Part of human nature is needing other people sometimes. Part of human nature is not being a good fit for every situation. You're enough. You're good enough. I know sometimes there's a little voice that says terrible things about you in your head. That voice is wrong.

That being said, take time for yourself to figure things out. You've got time. You have a lot to process. Hug.

It sounds like perhaps you only agreed to children because you love this person and want them to be happy. When you discovered.that perhaps they could be happy without the kids you were relieved. But the other person in this relationship should also be willing to do things to make you happy. And it doesn't seem like this is what's happening. To me it seems like she has decided that having children would make her happy and is ignoring the fact that it wouldn't make you happy to serve her own happiness.

I think it is unreasonable to manipulate you with what might be when there are no guarantees that you will be "better enough" in a years time or five years time or whenever. Sounds to me like you've done some introspection and figured out that you would prefer not to and you have valid reasons which include that you just don't want them. That's fine.

Now it's time for her to decide if she can live with that. Because while everyone i currently know who didn't want children but ended up with children (including myself) is having a reasonably okay go of things, that doesn't mean that they wouldn't be happer without children. It also doesn't mean that their spouses could be happy without having children.

The talk you need to have, in my opinion, is one about how to compromise on those things.

I never birthed any kids. I never wanted kids. But I did end up married to someone who already had a kid and my kid is awesome. I had the benefit of getting to know him. I had the benefit of going into everything knowing that the kid was a deal breaker (he was part of the package, so if I didn't want that I should walk away).

Loving someone doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing your stability and the time you need to relearn who you are (because getting diagnosed and treated/ medicated is a process in recognizing behaviors you have inherently or have developed and coming to terms with the fact that a lot of the things you knew about yourself might have just been masking behaviors). Just because she sees improvements in your ability to manage tasks and regulate emotions etc doesn't mean that you aren't still struggling or that you're in the right place to have kids. The truth of it is, even other neurodivergent people don't necessarily know your individual struggle, even if we can better relate.

Her evaluation of your situation is one sided and colored by her own wants. She is not objective.

If you don't want children, don't make that decision just because she does.
