This sounds like a bad idea, there’s already cases of people getting flagged for CSAM by sending photos of their children to doctors.

I’d guess because Google Play is a set of services that just use “Play” as a prefix.

Maybe the article is being vague but stuff like this really doesn’t seem like it should be patented. Especially considering I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this done in games before. The simplest being Mario games giving you invincibility in a level after you die a set amount of times. Or I think A Hat in Time would shorten certain boss battle segments after you completed them already.

The implementation here would need to be really new and impressive to justify this being a patent. And I’m guessing it won’t be, assuming they ever actually do something with it.

If they function identically to a normal client though what’s the issue? As an example Google indexes pages all over the web without the explicit permission of those websites, that requires them to read the page and make requests to someone else’s infrastructure.

What part exactly here is illegal?

Apple isn’t adopting RCS with encryption, and having iMessage as the default messaging app without any way to allow cross platform E2E encryption is a decision they’ve made.

As far as Google releasing a new chat app is concerned that’s on them. But RCS has existed since 2008 and was included as a feature in Android 5.0 Lollipop all the way back in 2014.

So is having unencrypted messages with all non-iOS devices with no real solution in sight. Security is obviously not their concern here, it’s vendor lock in.

Genuinely curious, what’s the law against reverse engineering an API? I can maybe see the argument for charging for the service, but beeper mini is planning to integrate other services as well so I don’t know if that’ll really hold water.

Took long enough - at a certain point Nvidia’s pricing just to get CUDA doesn’t make sense when compared to the cost of just investing in ROCm and OneAPI.

All they had to do was find the right balance, but apparently they decided to see how much money the printer could make…

I like deluge personally - qbittorrent is my fallback though.

I’ll have you know that the fake internet points are still here and I will continue to use them to determine my worth in the eyes of my peers.

You accidentally added a letter there and the meaning of your comment has changed dramatically.

I’m cautiously optimistic, a new player in PC silicon is exciting if nothing else.

That really depends on the TDP of the Intel and AMD chips. Both have been progressively pumping more and more juice into their silicon lately in an attempt to be the “fastest”.

If Qualcomm is within spitting distance at a much lower TDP then this might actually be the beginning of the end for x86.

I’m sorry to say that in spite of your best efforts it still isn’t the year of the Linux desktop.

I don’t think it would’ve gone the exact same route, but they would’ve become more aggressive about gaining revenue.

This looks like an office jet pro 8720 which ironically is one of the printers I’ve had the least trouble with.

I’m running an Epson ecotank now though because the price per page is way better.

🆗 😎

I’m not sure what in-between there is for “a lot of communist and socialist countries are just as if not more authoritarian than their capitalist counterparts”

The point being made is that the criticism being made doesn’t apply to capitalism in any way that it wouldn’t also apply to other economic systems.

I didn’t know reality was western propaganda, those pesky Americans!
