I kinda miss when teenagers fucking around was a major source of hacks and not Russian gangsters.

I feel like the real savings is in lifespan.  I have LED bulbs I’ve been using for over a decade and they’re still fine.  The fact they run cooler and I don’t have to worry about that as much is nice too.

I’m going to keep posting this because people need to hear it. Dunning and kruger didn’t prove what most people think they did.

Not if the sales contract has a requirement that it be removed at the buyer’s cost.  I mean, the damage is already done so you’re undoubtedly right in a practical sense, but the truth is most people do business in good faith, so it’s not unreasonable to expect that if you put it in the contract people will do it,…

Presumably the requirement to remove the branding is in the sales contract so there’s a breach of contract suit there, but damages are going to be minimal if any.

presumably there’s language in the sales contract that requires them to remove the branded livery at their own cost. They probably don’t have to regularly sue to enforce that because someone using your sold property for something this controversial isn’t exactly a common occurrence.

CDPR did that, to some extent, with Cyberpunk and their experience ensures no one will ever do that again, because people took “wouldn’t it be cool if...?” ideas from the whiteboard and assumed that they would absolutely, for sure be in the finished game and screamed blue murder when they weren’t because after…

They are targeting real money gambling that happens in shady countries that don’t regulate online gaming, say what you want about gatcha, it deserves it, please, but it’s disingenuous to compare that to real money gambling where they are not legally required to provide fair odds or to pay winnings nor are they…

This makes sense to me, as the article stated, for cultural reasons they’ve never used the taboo word “yakuza” in Japan.  As the games industry becomes more and more globalized, regional naming is going by the wayside unless it’s forced by outside factors (mostly to avoid a trademark someplace, that happens most often…

Vanilla Fall cakes, and their year-round cousin the zebra cake, are amazing with icecream and whipped cream.

They still have to fill in the paperwork and deliberate on every charge, and there were a stack of them.  There is no minimum time by law but if the time spent is so short that it’s clear the jury could not have voted on each and every charge let alone spent any time in real consideration the judge could direct them…

It depends, the only time I’d take it to HR is if they would reasonably conclude your boss is breaking the law. As pointed out a lot of the time this kind of mistreatment is applied to people who the boss doesn’t think are a good “culture fit” because they don’t fit the demographics of the team in terms of age, race,…

I would love it. Because the expectation to “go above and beyond” is usually done in the service of being able to run understaffed and overwork the remaining employees to make up for having fewer people than you need to do the job.

it’s easy to be a damaging activist when you start campaigning about the impact of things without asking the people that it actually impacts. Many cruise port destinations only survive because of the cruise industry. In some cases the people that serve tourists earn the equivalent of a highly educated professional…

I am fully aware that the laws are more strict in europe, I really don’t understand why you think that’s such a “gotcha”, free speech is not the same as the first amendment, that’s my only point. It’s a philosophy, an ideal, every nation implements it differently but simply saying “it’s not against the first amendment…

I do, my point is that the law is not all there is to be said on the matter. Free speech is not a law it is a philosophy— the philosophical concept that for society to exist in harmony we have to be tolerant of the viewpoints of others even if we disagree with them, and that allowing any one party to control what is…

Freedom of speech is a much larger idea than just the first amendment, just like “privacy” is a much larger idea than the 4th amendment. The first amendment is one way that the greater idea is applied to the government but that doesn’t mean there’s no other possible concerns as long as it doesn’t violate that one…

I think it says something that despite US law being extremely restrictive as to what actually qualifies as “incitement to violence” the kiwi farms would probably still be in violation if not for common carrier protections.

saying that “freedom of speech” only applies to the government is as silly as saying your girlfriend shouldn’t be upset you went through her phone because the 4th amendment only applies to the government so the right to privacy doesn’t matter if you do it.

Or conservatives have less interest in organizing their own online spaces because they tend to skew older and less educated, and Facebook is sufficient for most of their needs?
