Yes, $5 USB HDMI capture cards exist?

That's what I said? The pandemic excuse was IA's reason for doing it at first.

Link to the tech debt aspect? I knew that was the case but want to know specifics. Also the book lawsuit wasn't over old or new titles, it was loaning them 1:N instead of 1:1 becau…

Copy protection for physical media was so rudimentary back then. VHS tapes literally just have a piece of plastic you could break off that acted as copy protection. Everyone had CR…

The people who install them.

Phone bans in schools have been going on for 20 years. Yeah we didn't have smart phones back then, but with tactile buttons kids would text each other without even looking at their…

Totally agree.

The other aspect here is you can't copyright an observable truth. For instance, sports companies tried to sue other sports companies for scraping their scores feeds but courts rule…

Oh shit. Who owns your photo if your phone does any amount of software-based manipulation to it? Like making faces look better?? Is this how google claims it can use all of your pi…

Source on that tracking 6 skeletons? That's cool.

Xbox 360's were The Original Netflix Machine of that 2008-2012 range. Sure maybe Wii's sold more but they only effectively played Wii Sports and didn't support Full HD. Sure PS3's …

Part all of this BS is sure at twitter if you pull this you might get a decent attrition rate but isn't the federal government known for people never quitting? If they quit, it's q…

My hope is that doesn't mean you can still digitize media that's on a dying format and that can still be used in CDL. Like if you owned a legitimate copy of a movie on betamax that…

What makes it specifically for developers? Why couldn't gamers use this?

Yes you could sit in the third seat, the jumper seat, with this. I feel like one could already sneak something malicious through TSA (this already happens and if you attempt it eno…

It's piracy in a way that's analogous to ripping like Netflix content. You are breaking away from DRM which is piracy. They also cite the potential to have multiple tokens valid pe…

Clans, ranked based play, integrated voice chat. That last one was in other xbox live games before it, but Halo 2's Xbox Live brought online gaming to everyone's television room wh…
