Can you even trademark a made-up name if you’re not the creator?

What about IR LED strips to flood the cameras with light?

Obviously they mean that in a digital-only world, consoles are not worth it and gamers should just switch to PC.

Step 3: profit

The fact that 80% of the planet can’t buy it directly from valve means that there will always be a scalping market.

I think it’s moronic to rely on scalping. This is a large market share that any competitor worth their money should be ready to jump on. It doesn’t take an MBA to slap together PC components, install SteamOS or Bazzite and sell an unofficial knock-off “console”. The global memory shortage being maybe the only serious obstacle.

Absolutely not. Scalpers thrive on scarcity (artificial or otherwise) which is why they make sure to hoard everything they can so that no one else can buy it from official channels. They bring no convenience, they are just parasites who make everything worse.

The irony of voice assistants like Siri and OkGoogle being more efficient before they introduced LLMs.

Why bother? Just excommunicate the usual suspects, and watch the cognitive dissonance of the ultra-catholics.

Copyright works like you said, because of Disney mostly. Patents last max 20 years from filing, by law. Unless the US patent law is a total shitshow compared to the rest of the world.

I don’t particularly like the direction that Nintendo has taken in recent years, but are you willing to ignore that they were the only company in the market for handheld gaming until very recently? It’s not just game exclusives.

Funny thing is though, that a study on how prayer works for sick people showed they actually got worse!

Uuh, is it because they refuse other types of treatment? That is a pretty important distinction. I don’t believe for a second that just praying magically makes you more sick.

I stopped expecting good book adaptations post LOTR. I have lost count how many of my favorite series have been ruined by Hollywood.
