Didn't the Pippin prototype case ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viGqjKACKQg ) went that way?

How long until they add a 21+ category to this bill, though? Insofar the use of it would be for gambling and CA doesn't even have mobile sports betting.

I read a FUD somewhere about Cinavia (the sound-muting DRM) being implemented on OS level by implementing it on SGX enclave level. That obviously didn't happen, but imagine if TPM …

I feel traditional "rust" hard disks would be inefficient for AI use. Unless they include SSDs (which I feel these data centers are more likely to be using) in the definition as we…

They are doing this pre-emptively since it will be the global law trend sooner or later.

>not due to legislative pressures It's a pre-emptive move against any (potential) legislative pressures.

The ironic thing is that in the UK/imgur case: >The ICO also confirmed that companies could not avoid accountability by withdrawing their services in the UK. Wonder if it could als…

What I meant is that generative AI makes for the case to strengthen intellectual properties laws. Hence I said "against".

Outside of Europe, this is also a thing in Japan.

I felt generative AI has weakened the argument against intellectual property.

The original form of clackers had a popularity in Indonesia and Philippines where it's named latto-latto. There was also a safer revival of clackers in North America in the 90s, wh…

I've keep thinking about it that people who advocate for AI tend to lean - or at least feel like leaning - right. Though that may be because opposition to AI tend to be from progre…

You forgot the fanatical parasocial relationships that are formed with East Asian mobile games in general. They are comparable to idol culture.

This sounds more like a government thing.

Even back in pre-iPhone days, actually getting a mobile game required one to subscribe to a text message subscription service that may or may not be hard to unsubscribe.

Might as well mention generative AI as well.
