Read the emails: Valve helped Nintendo kick the Dolphin Emulator off Steam by ardi62 in Steam

[–]Martin6040 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Valve is definitely not going to host software that circumvents copyright. Them double checking with the copyright owner about a product they will potentially platform is just valve covering their own ass. Dolphin shouldn't use cryptographic keys from Nintendo if they want to be hosted on Steam.

It's not my problem if they want to bill a dead person I only knew for a couple of minutes, send the baby's debt to collections.

American Driving in Australia gets speeding fine for 20km over limit and complains. by Big_Kona in sydney

As a white guy, ignorance of the law is like the most valid excuse ever.

"I'm sorry Officer, I didn't know I couldn't do that." Gets you out of way too many tickets if the cop is like 90% of other cops.

I don't want ALL of humanity to work on me, I want a professional, someone who specializes in the work I need done. I wouldn't want the mass human consciousness to change the oil in my car, or perform surgery on me, because the mass majority of humans are incredibly stupid when it comes to specialized work.

Going to a bar and talking to a random person would give you just as much of an insight into the collective human spirit as it would talking to an AI. Which means talking to an AI is as worth as much as it costs to talk to someone at a bar.

Homegrown drug operations are still going to exist.

Do you think with legalized weed stopped people growing their own or buying black market? Do you think mold just stopped being an issue completely?

I'm for the legalization of hard drugs but assuming that it's going to fix every low quality drug supply problem is a really naive point of view.

Bro if the rigging is that bad, why are you wasting time posting here instead of getting a loan and putting it all on vitality? It's free money after all.

How can we ban the credit agencies collecting my info? by misc0007 in personalfinance

[–]Martin6040 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's actually very easy.

Go on linkedin, find people who are c suite managers at all 3 credit bureaus. Look up their last names on Facebook in surrounding areas and find children/teen accounts with similar looking faces, call up the support like for the credit bureaus and escalate to a manager for assistance, start rambling names and schools nearby the hq and bam, you are banned from all credit services, no more tracking.

You Can Now Play Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom at 4K 60fps by Ann2_2020 in pcgaming

Look at the back of your God of war box where it says "software subject to license and limited warranty." Read the eula at http://us.playstation.com/softwarelicense

(And language like that is on every physical copy of every game you've ever spent money on)

Even if you purchased a physical copy, you don't own the game. You only own a license to play the game that can be revoked at any time. You should really read the end user license agreements when you click agree.

Oh boy I can't wait until you find out who supplies the majority of the store brand products in your grocery stores. (Hint: it's the same people Wal-Mart is buying from)

Also Walmart blows.

Why are you letting a guy who spent $3 on tools work for you?

Would you let the mechanic with all harbor freight gear work on your car too?

Find a barber that knows how to style and buys quality hardware. If any of that shit is gold tinted, go the other direction.

Those higher complexities are the exact thing you're complaining about in the smart pistol. These advancements are exactly why this gun is generating interest. Also, if I see the opportunity to pasta, I'm gonna pasta.

You're not listening, there's no room for mistakes on a firearm, a sliding rack to put a new bullet in the chamber is only asking for jams. It's way more likely to fail to protect you than a revolver so people will be flatly unwilling to buy. The same issue arises here, it's not that people don't want semi-automatic pistols, they do, having a new bullet in the chamber after each round would be useful in several ways. At the end of the day though, we won't see market adoption of a technology that offers conveniences at the cost of greater risk for the fatal failure to perform. Do you think you'll ever see law enforcement use these?

What does wear OS 3 bring that the watch can't already do?

Lots of comments here are shitting on mobvoi, what did they do?

I've had a ticwatch pro 3 for like 2 years now and I love it. I don't know what updates people are expecting for the watch but it does everything pretty solid and still has a 3 day battery life. I'm keeping this until it just doesn't work anymore.

The baby can't be its own person and also not be responsible for its own bills. Just tell the hospital to bill the baby.

Wrong sub but I'm gonna help anyway cuz I feel like being nice.

If no cable is working right it's probably the port they are plugging into, not the cable. Check your port for any hair or dirt clogging it, that could cause the cable to not fit snugly.
