These viral marketing campaigns are getting out of hand.

My issue with Nintendo is that it’s not even clear it is illegal to emulate things, authorized or not.

We have some precedent which ruled it’s not, but no real call from an authority.

They use their legal team to bully the world even for emulation which is clearly not even harmful to them.

There has been enough study on the subject that for jobs that lend themselves to the work from home model, it absolutely does increase productivity.

I do think there should be an option to work in office for those who can’t work from home for personal reasons.

The institution will usually have information about how their supplementary exams work. It will usually be on their curriculum guidelines page of their website.

It’s my understanding that’s the word rape, even if only alleged is a legal term that can implicate you for defamation up until the person is convicted of the charges.

Hence why media outlets do not use it until an individual is convicted.

I am not a lawyer

I wish, I wish upon a star.

Things don’t just become a national security asset that easily, though, a long-standing relationship with trust is something incredibly important.

Good points. I guess what I should have more accurately said is that Intel has a long standing working relationship with the American government.

Given that Intel is an asset to national security. I think any sort of buyout would be under intense scrutiny.

I did miss that Qualcomm was also American though, but I still think about it would be treacherous regardless.

I just don’t think, regardless of financial situation, Intel would want to sell even a portion of their business. right now. Everything they’ve communicated to their shareholders and the public at large signals that despite a recent downturn, they really believe they have a strategy for long-term market dominance.

Not to mention the entire national security angle of intel being the only American chip manufacturer.

This is very fair, but then again, my parents would get confused over the difference between an Xbox and a PlayStation, so take that for what you will.

It might be a ripoff, but my question to you is should that be illegal? The entirety of humanity is monkey see monkey do iteration on our previous ideas. It’s a dubious thing to litigate.

To add to that, no fan of either is going to confuse one for the other, so where’s the issue?

sharing aesthetic shouldn’t be enough to prosecute, especially in the case of patents.

My biggest defense against any claim like that is that they’re identifiably distinct. You put two of them side by side and not a single fan of either will be confused which is which.

Ah, I just assumed, thanks for the correction.

It’s still identifiably distinct, I really hope Nintendo lose because allowing copyright of a concecpt is dystopian especially in the context of our lengthy time frames for copyright.

It reminds me of when Apple wanted to patent the idea of rounded corners.

This is likely due to the difference in market segments, electric vehicles in North America occupy the high-end segment, which prices out most consumers whereas the Chinese market prices for the majority of consumers by using agressive government subsidies.

Some have speculated that this is so they can price out the competition as these subsidies are unsustainable, but I’m frankly not qualified to examine it.

At least it wasn’t Forty Six and 2.

Symphony of Destruction in my ass

fitting because I recently contracted food poisoning

I would legitimately binge this shit out of a crossover series.

It absolutely pales in comparison to the amount stolen from us day by day, but it’s more than we usually get, so I’ll be happy about that.

Don’t know for sure but looks like Sunny Lane.
