You cited two sources that are irrelevant to your claim. Neither Sony's nor Microsoft's hardware profits have any necessary bearing on Nintendo's.

That has nothing to do with fair use. That is a misuse of the term which has a specific meaning in the context of justifying derivative works of copywritten material. You are allow…

Thank you for confirming that fair use is not a right. Second, yes it absolutely concerns derivative works as it is a concept in the domain of copyright. While not every violation …

Kudos to your dad, sounds like he was a great engineer.

Things must be pretty bad if HN is your support system

UTC can never be set as a constant offset from TAI, it will eventually cease to be useful and that can never happen.
