Oh huh, that’s interesting. I’ll definitely have to check that out

If they’re cheap and common games, I don’t think it’s a big deal to have fakes mixed in if it doesn’t bother the buyer either.
Now for more rare stuff, it matters more. Feels like mtg cards, where a certain threshold it should be graded for authenticity and condition
I don’t know that non-lawyers need to figure out exactly what it means, but in an ideal world: if you pay for something that includes a continuation of services and the services stop continuing, you should be compensated fairly. I am not smart enough to word that in a way that can’t be worked around, “gotcha’d”, etc. but I’m guessing the spirit of the rules is fairly common ground for anyone who isn’t trying to rug-pull a service out from under those they sell it to.
For the first example, absolutely. If some execs have a meltdown, it could change future services but anyone who was promised Disney+ on their Tesla with no limit on it should get a fair refund. I understand that there’s a slippery slope argument here, and no– the value of Disney+ in a car isn’t 100% the value of it. But it’s BS that a manchild having an Internet meltdown loses people a service they had and “paid for”
Cuz I’m an idiot and hadn’t yet had coffee :)
I’m relative sure SQL is a backronym for Sequel, and Microsoft had to change the name and wanted to keep the pronunciation. But ess Quall is my favorite so far, that’s amazing
The original name SEQUEL, which is widely regarded as a pun on QUEL, the query language of Ingres,[14] was later changed to SQL (dropping the vowels) because “SEQUEL” was a trademark of the UK-based Hawker Siddeley Dynamics Engineering Limited company.[15] The label SQL later became the acronym for Structured Query Language.
Wow, $28k. That’s wild! Is it arcade cabinets? Rare stuff?
From selling a fair few MTG cards for the last few decades, I’d say it really depends if you want it to be fast/easy or maximize profits.
Selling individual things (think eBay) will net a lot more, usually what price estimators use like Pricecharting. If you just wanna get out of it all, then a bulk purchase will net a lot less (think game store)
Neat, I had no idea it allows that now
Oh, in safari?
If you go to a website in a browser it has ads, yeah?
Cuz FF with ublock origin prevents that on Android but i don’t believe that’s an option on iPhone
The (absolutely gutted) organization for requiring things like nutritional information is primarily responsible for keeping people safe in the foods they consume. Should it be on there? Probably. But on the scale of things to do it’s so absurdly insanely low with so many horrific things ahead of it that it probably isn’t gonna happen. Nevermind the fact that it’s lobbied against pretty hard at the same time.
I think it probably should have nutritional and allergenic info required on it, but hearing the horror stories of my friends in food safety who go to plants that produce dangerous products with so little rules and oversight, I can’t imagine thinking it’s a good idea to take any amount of FDA time and attention away from that for things like beer.
Most big breweries have nutritional info on their site for their beers, fwiw.
Brewery process engineer here. The reasons beer doesn’t need as strict of regulation in terms of food safety and in terms of labeling is twofold.
Part of that is because it’s lobbied to keep it that way, because if you put numbers down they’re not great (no surprise)
Part of it is because beer’s pH and alcohol content makes it nearly impossible for human-harming-pathogens to grow. On the scale of danger for you from a food safety perspective, beer is low.
NA beer is full strength beer with the alcohol removed. It goes through the same kill steps and processes as normal beer. Alcohol removal can be done a few ways (RO, filtration, boiling) but is I think always or effectively always followed by pasteurization.
Not saying it should be beyond labelling, but that’s the reasoning why it’s not a high priority for labeling like food.
Oh man, as a (non structural) engineer I love the saying
“Any asshole can build a bridge, but only an engineer can barely build a bridge”
You can disable (today, anyway) the internet search, and it gets wildly more useful after that. I wonder if it’s trying to be two things: searching your computer like it should, and for the less computer literate it’s “help me”
I use VoidTools Everything for searching. It’s absolutely lightning fast and super powerful.
The built in Windows search is such garbage
I totally agree. It’s not like the ~7-1700 time for my sunlight hours is super intuitive. If it was 23-11, I’d be fine after a few months, and a lot of problems would be solved.
Okay now's my time to shine. The words "emoji" and "emoticon" are false cognates, as in they aren't actually related. Emoticon is a few-decade old word to describe emotion+icon, like :)
Emoji is Japanese (kanji - 絵文字) for picture-word, basically. It super outdates computers.
They just happen to sound similar; isn't that fun?
Okay, I’ll bite
First off, I totally agree! People are my much nicer here and the little notification is often a nice thing.
So I read a bit of your post history. I’m not the -most- socially aware but I’m assuming sans-proof you’re not actually Margot Robbie. So like … Why? Is it a promo thing? Weird quirk? Actually an actor doing “normal people stuff”? Do you actually use Arch(why?)?
Idk where to draw the line with it being illegal for them to sell real copies. Like, what if it’s a really good fake? Are they gonna send out each and every game? They can’t spend $20 making sure a $10 game is legit.
No clue what to do about it honestly
