Yes. It is not uncommon.

Also, the license gives one some knowledge about what one is actually doing with the transceiver. Without that it isn’t really a hobby anyway. It just becomes an illegal walkie talkie.

Tbh, I can’t condone that as a ham myself. And yes, you can be caught. It happens all the time and fines are hefty.

The basic ham license (called “Technician”) is very easy and cheap. Just get one.

You do not need a license to listen to ham radio with a traditional transceiver. You only need a license to transmit.

There are no licensing requirements for equipment purchases.

There doesn’t really have to be one. There companies have deep pockets and the legal process itself is long and costly. They know you might win, but they also know you can’t afford to slog through the process to actually get an outcome.

Personally, I’d take this as a red flag about the company to which you would be applying. It sucks, but tells you what they think about “people”.

And the other side of that coin is: personally I’ll happily accept shimmering and moire effects if it means I don’t lock myself into yet one more corporate ecosystem.

FSR also combats those things, but can run on any GPU.

Replace every fine with executive jail time.

Watch the world change.

This may be a hot take downvoted to oblivion, but I think DLSS and all similar AI-dependent frame generation type stuff is a band-aid on a problem that won’t (or shouldn’t) exist for long, in the grand scheme of things.

If you have performance improvements, you ultimately don’t need such things once that performance reaches an acceptable level.

So two things may be happening:

1. Performance improvements are not possible anymore. That seems false, because we still see them. Costs are high, but they’re there.

2. Things like DLSS allow corps to give you less performance while still maintaining an illusion of a good experience. It ultimately reduces hardware costs, which the corpos ultimately just pocket.

I lean strongly towards 2 at the moment. Notice how nvidia also continues to push DLSS as an exclusive feature – notably different from FSR in that regard, while FSR is admitted to be a tech allowing for better framerate on lower-end hardware.

For nvidia, it’s a selling point, and it allows them to sell you less hardware with fewer actual improvements. It is the same snake that just wants you to (eventually) stream games instead of processing them locally, because it enhances corporate control.

But will the free speech absolutist chime in?

Hey cool, one more excuse to see a rich person get away with everything

Super Contra for NES (sometimes just called Super C). Stupid shoot em up action done to perfection.

Metal Slug games are great in emulation; similar to above.

Kind of like wearing a red MAGA hat.

Damn, I’m in the wrong business. Been making really bad decisions for free

There are vim keybindings for Code. Discovered that yesterday.

Though, if you want vim bindings for Code, probably should just use vim…

It’s already here

Just remember that it was ultimately the corpos who showed us that theft doesn’t matter anymore.

I’ll tell you what though: one you get used to it, you really get used to it.

I typed :q to try and close a tab the other day.

Edit: a tab not in vim, of course
