Persistent Surveillance Systems and others are doing the same thing with plane based cameras. https://www.pss-1.com/
No physical object needed. No local government needed. No way for the citizens to stop it.

What's their plan for healthcare machines? This is HIPAA compliant and or opt outable right? Right?

Many things much much closer to the line have existed ever since Pokemon came out. Monster Rancher is a straight up clone that's been around since the 90s. The look and feel is identical. I mistook it for Pokemon. Even the outfits are the same. If that hasn't been litigated out of existence I don't see why Palworld would be. This seems to be either shitting on the fad or the violence inherent in the genre being too close to the surface for people to be comfortable. Pokemon is basically the Michael Vick simulator. You're breeding animals to fight.

Why is this being brought up for Palworld and not Monster Crown, Digimon, TemTem, Nexomon, Monster Sanctuary, Coromon, Monster Rancher, or the countless other just like POkemon but different games and franchises out there?

GPS generally. Post office can tell you exactly where a "delivered" package was scanned "delivered". Found out due to a misdelivery The larger problem is that an insider driver could just pick up the package after taking the photo and blame a porch pirate.

Covid went through our house pre-vaccine. My partner was able to isolate and wear a mask but I played nurse to the kids.

I never had even a sniffle and my antibody tests, from blood donation, continued to come back negative until I was vaccinated; then they came back reactive.

So if they scraped my selfie which I hold the copyright on and are using it for commercial purposes . . . ?

It's called common carrier status. It would grant them immunity. The FCC is fighting in court, they just won at the appellate level, to not have broadband listed as telecommunications.

They got a hell of a deal. The law allows up to $250,000 per item.

We're back to the mainframe model of computing. A laptop is just a terminal to the real compute. Most PCs are simply 2D rendering engines these days. Other than a few specialized use cases you don't need capabilities in your laptop. Schiller doesn't seem to understand the basic usage patterns in the industry.

I don't understand this point. Physical locks are hackable. It's called lockpicking. Locks only stop honest people. Either type is easily bypassed.

Latency has nothing to do with it. People have been gaming online for decades. Bandwidth is the real issue. Assuming I'm doing my math right one second of 1080p 32 bit color video at 24 frames a second is just under 190 megabytes of data to move every second. 4K video is 759 megabytes of data to move every second. 24 frames is generally considered a shit frame frame for PC gaming. Games are routinely called out on consoles when they are locked to 30 frames. Granted that assumes zero compression which is a no magic bullet since lack of buffer means compression directly translates to latency or reduced frame rate.

Except that Steam has none of the functionality listed in the article. Sure it has streaming from one local PC to another but that's in a controlled high bandwidth, > DVI, and effectively no latency environment. But that's not what Google's aim is.
