  • Technically IP law covers patents, trademarks, copyright, and designs (sometimes also called design patents). Patent protection is 20 years (plus a little bit extra under certain conditions. Trademarks is indefinite in theory. Copyright (in many jurisdictions) is 70 yrs after death or 50 yrs for certain works (e.g., music recordings). Designs, I'm not really sure.

  • A lot of OLEDs can't hit 400 nits, though, right? [Edit: maybe not for sustained brightness, but peak brightness they can?]

    In his previous video, he said that if you don't play in a dark room, the second setting for paper white should target 250 or 300 nits instead of 200, so if you play in a lit room, you should be using more clicks for the second screen (but I don't know how many).

  • Awesome, thanks. I appreciate my budget doesn't give much to work with. I did already think about this one for a while - there are loads of 1000R out there, but I thought it might be a bit much, so would prefer a shallower curve. The AW has better ports and is probably going to have better HDR as well. It's still in the shortlist.

  • I did wonder how likely it is that the S2 would even be able to max out its display output. If MKW is 1440p @ 60, that might be the ceiling in practice (at that resolution, at least).

  • Okay, sure. Don't spend too much time on it, though, because I'm sure I'll end up happy with whatever I get.

    I was planning to get this Samsung G50D for £242. My reasonable shopping list includes 32-inch screen, wide viewing angles (so probably IPS), a height-adjustable stand since I'll use it for some office work as well and might move it about, [edit: and 1440p]. Preferably I'd like to keep it below £300.

  • Awesome, thank you. All good to know. I know HDR400 is the lowest, but much of the other things I'm looking at in the same price range don't have any certification, they just support HDR10 in some way. If I could find HDR500/600 for a small price premium, I could go for it.

  • The new “BritCard” would be used to check on an individual’s right to live and work in Britain, with senior No 10 figures examining the proposal, The Times has reported.

    The card, stored on a smartphone, would reportedly be linked to government records and could check entitlements to benefits and monitor welfare fraud.

    I'm not against what it's trying to achieve, but will it achieve that and isn't there a less expensive or better way to do it?

  • I was playing it with my kid as well and we really enjoyed it, even though it was me just directing them what to do for a lot of it.

    I think I encountered one glitch in single player: there were three lens cubes in the room that I needed to use, and at one point I just lost one. It's possible it got fired into a dark corner of the room and I didn't see it, but I think it glitched away. Not too annoying since I just reloaded the level to do it again.

  • If someone really wants to kill someone else, of course they'll find a way. The idea is to raise the barrier to make it more difficult, maybe prevent those deaths where the killer lose their head for a moment.

  • No chance to save lives unless sharp-tipped knives are banned and they’re all destroyed.

    She's asking for half of this. Probably she only stops short of asking to to destroy existing knives because she knows it's impractical. But if you stop creating new pointed knives, they'll slowly get phased out. You wouldn't save lives day 1, but decades down the line when nobody owns a pointed knife any more, you will.

  • I'd say so, yes. Coordinating two players to do their things in the right order and getting the timing right requires a lot more thought. I did finish the single-player mode and there was one near the end that had me thinking for a bit, but there was nothing as challenging as what's in the co-op mode.

  • I finished Portal 2 co-op mode a fair while ago (and the bonus levels that I honestly could have missed entirely, because it's not really indicated that they exist) and started the single-player mode. It's fine, and I'm interested to find out the details (although it's hinted at enough that I think I can guess), but I actually feel the single-player mode is a bit too long. You're moving through the levels, but I none of them have been that challenging and in the later game (assuming I'm near the end), a lot are just too straightforward. Possibly I was spoiled by the co-op mode and I would have liked the single-player mode more if I'd done it first.
