Ha they sent me the same message, and while I was not booted as a mod, I led the protest effort in a few subs that I modded in and helped out over in Save3rdPartyApps. I didn’t delete my account, just went silent after resigning when other mods got cold feet as soon as it started to get real.

I vote for Super Switch

You’re completely missing the point. Making money doesn’t change the legality. YouTube was threatened by the RIAA before they even started showing ads. Displaying an image from a copyrighted work on an AI platform is not much different technologically than Voyager or even Google Images displaying the same image, and both could also be interpreted as “feeding you unlicensed content from others.”

i didn’t mean to exclude that option but rather thought it to be redundant since the result is the same.

“We have seen that you can embed viruses in the cartridges. Through the cartridge, [the virus can] go to the printer, [and then] from the printer, go to the network.”

Either this is complete bullshit or HP is over-engineering completely unnecessary vulnerabilities into their hardware. There’s no reason why a dumb ink cartridge (no DRM) would need any ability to send data to the printer other than very short messages (like a few bytes at most), so it should not be possible for an ink cartridge to give the printer a virus unless this vulnerability is the direct result of the new DRM-tracking additions.

So HP is either malicious or incompetent, and regardless of which it is, I can’t see myself trusting another of their products ever again.

And Huffman’s programming skills weren’t even that great because they quickly brought in Aaron Schwartz to make it all work, yet they always conveniently leave him off of the founders’ list.

The fact that it doesn’t work the same in every browser sounds a lot like anti-competitive fuckery.

I’m so dumb that even after I read their comment, I still thought they were related until your admission made me reread their comment.

That wasn’t me going hard. I was simply meeting their dismissiveness with sarcastic dismissiveness as a way to show them their faulty logic.

Well if you’ve never heard of it, then you must be right. Or it could be that maybe you have no clue what you’re talking about. No that couldn’t be it.

It blows my mind that you’ve never heard of Swiss engineering, but I guess the whole world is wrong since you’re clueless to it. Case closed.

Those are rookie numbers. Imagine a world where Reddit is 100% bots.

But back in reality, there are many more evil corporations than one, so lumping them all together into one “pile of filth” only serves to limit your understanding and ability to fight against them. If you don’t like corporations, punishing a corporation for helping their supplier illegally destroy a competitor should be something you are in favor of, and labeling it “corporate infighting” does nothing but miseducate people to the underlying issue.

Except it isn’t “corporate infighting” because that would imply fighting within a corporation when it’s simply fighting between a corporate machinery supplier and a competing startup that’s alleging illegal coordination and slander.

Yeah, I get that part, but it doesnt change the fact that using the word for a mandated update is lazy and wrongheaded on the part of the NHTSA. Rather than use a different and more correct word, they are just shoehorning it in and leading people to the wrong conclusion.
