Yes, yes it should. But that’s a different act than the one being discussed here.

$250k * [every book in existence] is literally nothing?
Remember, “offense” doesn’t mean “per torrent,” it means “per copyrighted work infringed.”
Technically, copyright infringement is committed by the entity making and sending the copy, not the entity receiving it. Leeching could indeed remove liability.
I’m not sure if the courts have cared about that nuance when persecuting the ‘small fish,’ but I bet they would in this ‘big fish’ case.
I’d almost like to think an LLC would be enough, but I suspect that only works if you also have a billion in VC funding and political connections.
Hatchbacks can fold down the rear seats to extend the cargo area. The Cybertruck fails even at that.
It’s an Ute (as the Australians et al. call it), like the old El Camino etc.
Real pickups have body-on-frame construction with cabs and beds bolted onto the chassis separately, so that the bed can be removed and replaced with a specialized/custom one if necessary.
Also, it’s more and more clear that it’s a bad idea that websites can just execute arbitrary code. The JS APIs are way too powerful and complex nowadays.
Javascript in general was a mistake, and always has been.
The web should’ve had Scheme or Python instead. Or better yet, we shouldn’t have given up so quickly on Java Web Start because then we could’ve had proper web applications with their own windows and native UIs and such.
Maybe websites and apps should’ve stayed separate concepts instead of merging into “web apps”.
Damn straight!
You’re just saying that because Trump wants Greenland.
(Seriously though, this timeline is stupid enough that there’s a non-zero chance Trump really does use “Denmark is h4XX0rz our routers” as a casus bellum.)
You put an Arduino-compatible microcontroller on a custom PCB, obviously. A QFN package ATTiny is like 4mm square.
It’ll all be SMT parts if you want it to be watch-sized, so you’ll have to let JLCPCB or whoever assemble the board for you instead of soldering it yourself, but it’s surprisingly accessible to random hobbyists these days.
Thanks, I now also understand the purpose of Immich because of this post.
That is genuinely stupid enough to be plausible.
On one hand, yeah, I know you can often disable the spying if you try hard enough (at least for now, until it’s integrated into the infotainment system so tightly that you can’t disable it without making half the car not work). However, as a matter of principle, I refuse to buy tyrant devices whose manufacturers think they’re somehow entitled to make me jump through hoops to control my own damn property in the first place.
Yep. I’m stuck driving cars from the mid-2000s at the latest because it’s a deal-breaker for me.
I’d love to have an electric car, but because they’re all newer than that (except for some really rare compliance/fleet-only cars from the '90s with NiMH batteries, like the Ford Ranger and first-gen RAV4), I’d have to convert an ICE car to electric myself.
Or literally any centralized social media.
Doesn’t matter; SCOTUS is controlled by “unitary executive theory” nutjobs now. The FCC can do whatever Trump wants it to do; no more, no less.
It’s as if plutocrats worldwide are teeing up fake wins to help Trump solidify his power because they see an opportunity to kill off liberalism once and for all.
And people like you don’t get that the worsening of all those problems will only accelerate under Trump’s corrupt plutocracy.
They say Biden had a part in the ban, though he said publicly he would not enforce it - what matters there, that AP doesn’t mention, is that the republicans hello humanitarian aide to Ukraine hostage back in April, saying they’d block unless the rock you ban was passed. Laying the groundwork for this hollow attempt to “blame Biden” and position trunk as a solution (to a problem he instigated and that republican think tanks engineered).
You’re making an important point here, but it’s somewhat undermined by the fact that your rogue auto[in]correct needs to be taken out behind the barn and shot.
(I assume 5 year olds know what Instagram is)
ELInot5 what Instagram is?
Seriously, I’ve never understood the point of it.
In the last decade, I’ve had that sort of issue affect me twice:
Anyway, I guess the gist is that I wouldn’t have expected Windows to do any better in either case.
