do you have any evidence for your claims? Or are you just making broad generalizations of doom?

A court has already said that it is fair use for an LLM to be trained: https://tech.slashdot.org/stor...

Otherwise you would never be allowed to learn anything from stuff you buy like books, music, and movies/tv shows.

What is not fair use is pirating the data, to then have the LLM be trained on it.

It doesn't matter that a company is registered in a different country. If that company does business in a country, courts in that country can give orders that are legally enforceable, but only in that country. This is why paypal is on the list here.

If you tip, what is it going towards, if not helping to pay for the game's development?

The FBI has tried for years to get Apple to add a backdoor to the backups that iphones, ipads, and mac's do. The difference here is that in the UK, it was made into an actual law, where as the US congress hasn't passed such a law for the US president to sign.

but apple will happily add a backdoor depending on the country who asked for it, such as china, where there is no way for apple to fight it: https://qz.com/618371/apple-is...

> We're like the guy who drove around several blockades then drove off a bridge because his GPS told him to.

I remember that news story about the guy driving off a collapsed bridge. Claiming he did so only because his gps told him to is wrong. You're leaving out several key details:

1. it was dark out, so there was no way to tell the bridge had collapsed because the sides were still up
2. the sign indicating not to use the bridge, had been vandalized and removed because it was vandalized, and not there at the time of the accident
3. the bridge had collapsed in 2013, and google had been warned for years, but never actually accepted the change. They only reviewed them, and nothing further came from it.

Epic is the developer. That is their right to choose the payment methods they will accept. If they don't include payment methods their audience wants, then it will effect their revenues.

"I altered the deal. Pray I don't alter it further." Despite password sharing being theft and there being no contract. So yes, they can change it. And you can claim that you'll unsubscribe now, while never being subscribed in the first place.

Check out ExplorerPatcher. It brings back the windows 10 taskbar with the tool bars feature. Be aware you'll need to add some exclusions with your Antivirus because MS doesn't like ExplorerPatcher since it's able to hide the ads that are in windows 11, starting with bringing back the windows 10 taskbar. Here's the link to it: https://github.com/valinet/Exp...

This was being done back in Office 97. And Libre Office also does this during install. It offers to run an application as soon as you login. The only difference now is it's a scheduled task instead of an application shortcut in your windows start menu startup directory.

Because this is not Microsoft's fault. CrowdStroke also released updates for Linux previously that caused the Linux Kernel to crash: https://www.theregister.com/20...

So the investors are not actually getting their money back, but instead getting digital assets like bitcoin? I would want my actual money back.

Saying the consumer isn't interested in fixing their own devices is what lobbyists against right to repair say. That's what third party repair is for. The manufacturer isn't interested in anything beyond replacing the entire device because they make more money doing that.

The only time the manufacturer will do component level repair is when they think they can refurbish it. But otherwise the device is recycled/ground up.

If I bought the device, I should be allowed to fix it, or choose who gets to fix it. Whatever repair manuals the device maker uses internally, I or anyone should be able to access, without any extra costs. Make the schematics for the device I bought available to me, or anyone who wants it, without any extra costs.

The chips that device uses, should be available to anyone to buy them without a huge markup. The manufacturers of those chips should not be told they can only sell to the manufacturer and no one else.
