Thanks to the third toot.

Where’s the shark?

I guess I was misconstruing based on how the trait to tolerate lactose came about (domestication of dairy animals). But lactose is in all mammal milk so guess I’m incorrect.

That’s cow’s milk.

Edit: guess I’m incorrect, I posted a link below on where I got confused.

Sarcasm

I was being sarcastic

If you’re going to be a cheapskate and not tip, sure.

…

People don’t understand sarcasm I guess. I mean, the guy I was responding to was ordering a Venti Wave, can’t understand a joke?

There’s lots of money in politics.

What do you mean actual jammer? If it puts out RF at a power level greater than the surrounding environment it is a jammer, correct? I would think for this attack to work you could just target the camera freqs used, you don’t have to target the whole home’s WiFi network. Probably a narrower range to focus on.

So, if we had a machine that could “see” without photons, we could observe an electron directly? (I know nothing about this)

Businesses of a different industry can use the same name. There is nothing keeping you from using the website for blogging. The computer store might be problematic if it could be construed you are trying to profit from EA’s established trademark. Also, why would you want a .org for a storefront? I’d say get a different domain for your computer store.

Give the crested geckos their independence! (My only knowledge of New Caledonia is gecko-based).

You need calcium.

You’re right that default credentials should have gone away a decade ago. From my experience with security cameras, default credentials were the norm ~5 years ago and now most prompt you to create a unique password. That industry typically lags slightly in infosec best practices. I would expect routers to require a higher level of security.

Please tell me everyone has figured out that all large companies are pure fucking evil

Fixed that for you

I agree that microtransactions and loot boxes in gaming need regulation as well. Hopefully this is a step towards that.

Any protections to consumers are a win. I think overall this will be a positive for gamers.

IMHO this ruling is shortsighted and pushes for a future with increased monitisation that isn’t in the box value of the game and targets to hurt the Devs that make consumer friendly games while giving games with loot boxes and microtransactions an advantage in the market when talking in terms of overall sales for the devs.

Your last paragraph could hold some truth if publishers think this will affect profits. I don’t know if this would significantly impact profits since we’re talking about a new secondary market that did not exist in the digital space before. There’s probably some historical data for how physical used game sales affect new game sales but it might be hard to quantify since that market has existed pretty much from the beginning.

I would anticipate another across the board price increase for games as a result, but I see this more as an excuse for greed on the publishers’ parts rather than a cost to offset any actual lost revenue.
