Two Mac OS VMs enforced at Kernel level, which wasn’t a thing on Intel Macs.

Did they remove the stupid limit of 2 VMs per machine or is it still an expensive toy?

SD content on YouTube is blurry AF. If you use normal upscaling methods you either get a blurry or a blocky mess, computers can’t do miracles. There are ways to disguise it a bit. For example, if something was done for CRT TVs you can apply a CRT filter over the upscaled video and the blurriness will even help preserve the original look.

To each their own, but when I play games I want games that are fun to play. When I want realistic graphics I just go for a walk.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_patents_under_the_European_Patent_Convention

The European Patent Convention (EPC), Article 52, paragraph 2, excludes from patentability, in particular

…

schemes, rules and methods for performing mental acts, playing games or doing business, and programs for computers; [emphasis added]

That excludes video game related patents twice in one line.

I think they just figured out they can offload the modernization of old games to the community. People will still have to buy the game to get the assets needed to play it legally.

You’ll still need to buy the games to get the assets legally. EA is just checking if they can offload the modernization of old games they don’t want to remake to the community to keep the revenue stream going without having to invest on it.

It’s a win-win situation if it works.

European courts don’t recognise software patents, no matter where they were filled.

There’s Wipeout VR for the PS VR. It’s not that bad for short sessions.

Users will end up verifying it. Activision just got caught using gen-ai in call of duty and had to come clean.

If developers are caught lying they will lose credibility.

Just a reminder that this entire situation means everyone that still has access to the White House press conferences is propaganda and not news.

Back when silicon valley wasn’t all about fellating boot Google left China for much less.

This might be the best argument ever for putting grok in charge of the US Government

Of course it’s feasible, that’s why there are courts. And even if they lost in court they could leave the British market instead of complying. But Apple will always kiss boot no matter how much they tell their cult otherwise.

This comic assumes it’s acceptable for medicine to be expensive enough to require a loan.

Just a reminder that alternatives like open street maps and Here WeGo exist and are not taking marching orders from Trump.

Basically anything that sells ePub, so Kobo.com, ebooks.com (this one has a drm free category), etc. DRM is decided by the publisher not the store so not everything will be available without protection.

If the book you want has DRM there’s a Calibre plugin that is usually able to remove it.

There are alternatives without DRM or at least with DRM that’s easy to strip.

Yes. The moment someone questions that they are no better than a fascist.

Some people may need to be detained to prevent harm to other people, but that should always come from a place of respect for everyone’s lives and wellbeing and not out of a desire for revenge or punishment.

“Worth” in the humanist “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights” sense, not in the capitalistic “if you aren’t rich or making the rich richer, then die” sense.
