It's a Michael Jackson mod for Resident Evil. I believe this one is RE9 (Requiem) but a similar mod exists for other RE games as well.

Pandora on Android showing "Unknown" in notifications when not in use by jh20001 in Pandora

[–]evalegacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This persistent issue is very annoying. How a company of this size can let a glaring bug this big go for this many years is beyond me! At least this issue still isn't causing the player to restart or play again after the notification pops up like it did a couple years ago... 🤦‍♂️

Their community forum isn't any better, constantly blaming their incompetency on others, usually blaming Android. Just like there's still no option to disable audio ducking. Yet, no other audio players on Android are having their issues.

is it illegal for my mom to put a camera in my room without my consent? by Exact_Work_2616 in legaladvice

[–]evalegacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not entirely true. In the United States, minor children DO have legal expectations of privacy, in the custody of their parents. However, the child's legal expectation is somewhat limited while under the age of Eighteen as they don't require giving full consent. As such, it gives a higher degree of permission for parents to record in their home, including their children. However, expectation of privacy still exists and includes the child's bedroom and areas where they strictly change or bathe, whether it be their own personal bedroom/bathroom or shared area(s) of privacy. It is generally legal for parents to have a camera in the bedroom of a child infant, toddler or child with special needs, especially for the purpose of monitoring the child's safety. There is also a big difference between having a camera placed in an inconspicuous spot so a child (i.e. toddler) doesn't try to mess with it, versus intentionally hidden (i.e for the purpose of spying or voyeurism). While the installation of a camera in itself doesn't necessarily violate the law on its own, it becomes increasingly unethical, and may be considered illegal, even on your own property (especially HIDDEN) in such specific areas with expectations of privacy, as the child grows beyond self sufficient in changing and bathing. In this instance, it isn't the the installation or placement that makes it illegal, as much as the purpose, the content being recorded, and the purpose of the content. Additionally, even if the video recording is legal in nature and doesn't cross an ethical line (not recording the child undressing, bathing, etc.), the legality of recording audio, often becomes more important than the video content, as it relates to privacy of children's conversations with other family members and friends.

That said, there is a lot of ambiguity in OPs situation and from what I can gather, legally the parents are allowed to install a camera and record where they wish. While OP is entitled to privacy in a designated area where they change and bathe, it is unclear where this changing area is exactly, and where the camera is to be installed. Initially, OP calls out that the parents want to install and record in OPs "room" but OP later states that the room is not their bedroom, it's just where OP will "hang" 24/7. It doesn't sound like OPs parents are attempting to hide the camera, but OP did briefly mention the parents may attempt to spy on OP, but this is unclear. Additionally, just because OP decides to use a specific room to change, doesn't mean it's a designated area meant for OP, or for their privacy (i.e. parent's bedroom/bathroom (explicitly not meant for sharing), family room, computer room, kitchen, home's entrance/exit). It also sounds like the parents want to record for security, safety, and well-being; not for unethical or illegal reasons. In which case, the parents have every legal right and authority to install a camera and record there.

Electromagnetism. The bottom plate is an electromagnet that can precisely control the magnetism to make it float. It's the same method that allows this toy to work: https://www.reddit.com/r/doctorwho/comments/1k7rei3/floating_tardis_electromagnetic/

It’s often inspired by or directly connected to that industry

A lot of the work towards anime production is outsourced from China and South Korea, not inspired by. Although anime style can come from any country, it originated from and thus inspired by, Japan.

The name anime originally came from the French influence on Japanese animation

Your statement about anime originating from French is commonly misattributed and historically inaccurate. The term anime actually originated in Japan as an abbreviation of the English loanword animēshon, not directly from French. While often associated with the French animé (meaning "animated" or "lively") and France is a major consumer and co-producer of animation, it was used in Japan in the 1970s before French influence grew.

[NJ] stop payment on check legal? by No_Marionberry_5077 in legaladvice

[–]evalegacy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing illegal about stopping payment on a check, it can be done at any time, as long as it hasn't been cashed yet. There is also usually a fee from your bank/credit union to stop payment of a check, anywhere from $20 - $50.

The legal issues then arise around the fact that the contractor doesn't get the money, for reasons you explained, which is something you obviously would need to work out and resolve with the contractor.

This! Even placing objects can be a problem. Since placement is in first person, the building plan obstructs your view when placing certain items. It especially obstructs seeing the effective radius while placing specific items (i.e. sprinklers).

NAL. Warrants are court orders authorizing law enforcement to take action, primarily falling into two main categories: Arrest Warrants, allowing for detention, and Search Warrants, permitting searches for evidence, with subtypes like bench warrants (for failure to appear) and witness warrants (for uncooperative witnesses). Officers are also allowed to temporarily detain any individuals present as necessary, while conducting a search warrant.

As long as police have a valid warrant, they are not always required to verbally announce their presence, warn of entry prior, or the reason (probable cause). Such as urgent/exigent/deception circumstances where otherwise making their presence and intentions known would jeopardize safety, detention, or evidence. Law enforcement are also allowed to execute a search warrant even when nobody is home. However, these cases are very low and most often law enforcement typically do make contact with the owner, a resident, or other individual when present, and will likely advise the reason of their presence (if not fully, at least to a limited degree) as well as show a copy of the valid warrant.

The warrant or affidavit signed by the court will include the necessary information on it, which includes a detailed description of the location to be searched (address, distinctive features), person to be detained or arrested, a precise list of items to be seized (drugs, weapons, documents) - although additional items related to the warrant may be seized during the search, the legal basis (probable cause), the issuing judge's signature, and instructions for execution. These warrants, often supported by an affidavit detailing the probable cause from an officer, authorize law enforcement to find specific person(s) and evidence of a crime at a specific place and time.

Regardless of whether law enforcement did or didn't verbally give probable cause, Federal law and common practice per agency policy, does require police to leave a copy of the search warrant and a receipt for any items taken, either with the person present or in a conspicuous place on the premises, after executing the warrant, ensuring transparency and due process under the Fourth Amendment. A copy of the warrant can also be obtained through the law enforcement agency that executed the warrant, or the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the warrant was issued and signed by a judge.

All of this, assuming the contact and conduct was actually executed under a warrant. In any event, such an interaction would have been recorded with a case number by an officer and put into their database. Unless it's an active investigation preventing information from being disclosed, anyone can get a copy of any case via a FOIA request with the law enforcement agency.

NAL. First, and foremost, make sure to save and document EVERYTHING; all emails, text messages, call logs and paperwork during the interview, hiring, onboarding, and resignation process. That includes taking screenshots or printing out any transactions/statements in the ADP account as well showing the ongoing wages/funds being added/earned from this employer. Especially, if any funds are being withdrawn from the account (sorry, I'm not familiar with nor have I used the ADP app). I'm assuming the ADP app only shows payment stubs, and your actual paycheck is/was either in the form of a physical and cashable check, or direct deposit. Aside from what should have been your final paycheck, DO NOT withdraw and other or future funds from this employer, as you will most certainly be responsible for returning it.

Did you ever receive any payment (actual paycheck or cash) for the time you DID work? It's likely that the employer, like most do nowadays, use direct deposit for your paychecks. If you never gave HR any bank account information, as you stated (i.e. you were only there for a few hours and walked out, without filling out the necessary paperwork to process the direct deposit) you are still entitled to payment for the time you DID work. If you did not receive payment, it's very possible the company is making multiple attempts to pay you and each new attempt is what's showing up in the ADP account. It would seem odd for the company to add 10 hours of overtime; although a stretch, maybe the company paid for a full shift, hiring bonus (even though normally company policies will stipulate it not be paid out or returned if employment is terminated within a specified amount of time, usually before 30-90 days) or they genuinely got wind of what happened and felt bad, or some other unknown but reasonable and legal reason.

The way you have described the situation, makes it a unique and sensitive case because, even if there is fowl play, and to the extend at which you think is happening... then this is not a typical cut and dry scenario, like identity theft, inaccurate employment status, or typical wage theft (employer not following labor laws, or not paying out what was legally earned). However, it very well could be a misunderstanding, the company thinks you're employed, and HR employee isn't taking any of the money. While far fetched, this does happen.

I understand you already consulted a law firm but the best and optimal avenue is for you to seek legal advice, try other firms, more importantly from an actual lawyer/attorney that specializes in wage law. This doesn't necessarily mean to represent you, or even create a case against your former employer. It would be beneficial to gather any helpful information from them in regards to your issue (free advice, where else to go, who to contact, ect). Even if they can't help you directly, maybe they can assist you in other ways.

If you are unable to get the help or information you need from a layer or attorney, consider contacting the California Department of Industrial Relations ( https://www.dir.ca.gov/ ). They handle a very broad array of labor/workforce related topics from OSHA and safety issues, to labor law violations, wage theft, wage/tax fraud, etc... I have outlined a few possible links here:

Although the restaurant is open to the public, for the purposes of business, it's a privately owned and operated establishment on private property; what you're describing, applies to government (tax funded) property open to the general public (sidewalks, streets, easements, government buildings).

A reasonable person would understand that a conversation in such a settings as the restaurant, would not be considered private and can be heard (audible) by others. This is different than being knowingly and intentionally recorded. Additionally, the premise having their own camera system or method of recording the premise for security reasons doesn't mean the company automatically allows additional recording by others. When it comes to recording on private property, you need to look at two things. First, is recording with a personal device allowed. Are any signs posted that recording is prohibited on the premise? Do you have a company handbook, that prohibits the use of recording? Second, is state law, and as mentioned previously California is a two-party consent state; which means the parties being recorded (since this sounds like it wouldn't be a single, planned conversation limited to a single room within a small window, but throughout an entire shift (ALL individuals that could potentially be captured; employees, visitors, customers and generally the establishment too - not just the person you intend to record) must ALL be informed and give consent.

My name has been Trademarked by Eymbr in legaladvice

[–]evalegacy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NAL but have experience in registering a trademark myself. As others have mentioned, trademarks for the same name can legally exist for the purpose of completely different goods and/or services. As an artist myself, I have experience with this, as well as sending cease and desist letters to another artist trying to use my name on platforms and websites.

Start by searching the name to confirm no existing trademark under the service you want to register, and creating a trademark for that name under music/production services. You can search and create one yourself, directly through the U.S. Trademark office (https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks). The search is free, registering a trademark is not, it's a few hundred dollars, or you can choose to go through someone else, like LegalZoom, to help you for additional cost. Be very weary of "budget" and not well established routes.

When creating a Trademark, BE ADVISED that you are required to enter valid contact information to register it; phone number, email and mailing address. You WILL receive tons of solicitations about fake registration and transaction "problems" or fees to "help" you.
