Practically all of the Aquarius' games that Mattel created (which Atari bought after the Amico debacle) would just be ports of the Intellivision games.

This is going to be a cheap System-on-Chip emulation box connected to an HDMI display. Wireless controllers aren't going to be your only latency concern.

iFixit launched in 2003 and started selling tools day one to raise money for the site. They were pretty cheap and the only branding was an iFixit sticker on the case. I don't remember Microcenter carrying any of their stuff before 2010.

Windows 10? Yes. Windows 11? No. People should be migrating off of 10 to something else anyway.

It's less about avoiding Apple and Google's digital fiefdoms and more about creating their own digital fiefdom to monetize. That's the only reason why these startups got venture capitalist money; the chance for success isn't high but if it succeeds then the payoff is huge.

One of Nintendo's major Switch releases for 2023: Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom was leaked weeks before it went on sale. That was a separate piracy issue and shouldn't have affected Yuzu development.

And it wouldn't have if the Yuzu devs hadn't majorly fucked up. The release versions (both public and patreon) of Yuzu would not properly play the leaked LoZ TotK game, so they *acquired* their own pirated copy so that they could fix their emulator. After they implemented the fixes, they then kept it behind the patreon backer paywall for a period of time, as they did with all of their initial patches.

Nintendo was able to demonstrate that Tropic Haze, the Yuzu developer's incorporated company, made money by specifically patching their emulator to work with a game that wasn't yet released. Legally, they were making money by furthering piracy.

From their, it's anyone's speculation as to what happened. Nintendo was able to get all of their Discord messages and Tropic Haze folded amazingly fast, so it's likely that the devs passed that copy of LoZ TotK around to each other so that they could implement those fixes. It's also likely that they had pirated more than just that game. Regardless, Tropic Haze settlement tells us that they really didn't want to come close to a courtroom.

Is this just MS letting developers know that they don't want to publish XB1 games? Because if I was an indie studio, I would want to go for the lowest common denominator and since the Switch is already a valid hardware target, and with the XB1 being more powerful than Switch, releasing on the XB1 would give me the XSS/XSX market as well.

If I'm only releasing for *exclusively* the Series systems then I may as well skip all Xbox.

Which group of racists is it that the western nations are infringing upon? Is it their own racists? I think that's allowed and even looked favorably upon. Is it the two thirds of the world which the western nations infringe on their cultural norms, religious beliefs, and apparently their racists as well? No, I think that's still looked favorably upon; at least belittling their racists part.

I just don't get it. I don't think I want to.

Here's some hard proof that the non-USA manufacturers are trying to take your rights away just like the rest.

Sorry but in this fight, there don't seem to be any good guys.

Familiarity. It requires Minecraft because everyone under the age of 16 has heard of it and most of them have played it. It is a simple virtual world where children can gather and learn, and possibly even experiment.

This is precisely why Microsoft bought Mojang. Having a port to the dying Windows Phone was nice but not really the reason. Having a special port for Windows 10 that connects with Pocket Edition players was something that they could have got if they simply asked Mojang and 4J for. Getting every kid to associate your name with their favorite part of school? Yes, that's worth 2.5 billion dollars.

Actually, you do. Once something has been released to the public, no matter how, it becomes part of the public domain. Copyright is a limited privilege that is granted to the creator during which time they are exclusively allowed to distribute content in order to make money off of said content. This was created to further the creation of more works for the public.

I believe that denying the content creators financial gain by circumventing copyright is wrong. However, if content creators continue to extend copyright or use DRM to make sure that their content can not ever return to the public domain, they are stealing from the public. Having the public return the favor is to be expected.

This vicious cycle can be solved, but neither side seems to care enough to fix it.

10.6.8 is only 3 years old. 10.6 itself is only 5 years old. Why not patch it?

Oh right, 10.6.8 is the last OS X version to have support for PPC and not require users to use the Mac App Store just to get the updates. Of course they want to kill it.

Apple is dead to me.

If that was the only issue, then you would be correct. However the gender hiring bias and gender income gap aren't that intertwined. They are part of the same problem, but they don't directly affect each other.

Regarding the gender income gap, I support the idea of legislation that would reward equal work with equal pay.

However, the gender hiring bias can't be simply solved with legislation, and potential income gap legislation could cause the hiring bias to worsen. This is quite possibly one of those problems that won't be solved in our generation simply due to how ingrained we are in our beliefs. Hell, as a woman who has been in IT for 15 years, I look at other women in the field differently than I look at the men; it's as if the men belong there and the women have to prove themselves. It's rather humbling to realize this. I think everyone should read this and re-examine how they view their colleagues.

From Microsoft's press release:

Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will acquire Mojang for $2.5 billion. Microsoft expects the acquisition to be break-even in FY15 on a GAAP basis.

They expect this to pay off in a year.
