  • I’m with you so far, but I question how that’s still not the publisher’s fault and their liability.

    The main reason is because it seems that when the publisher puts the game up for sale on steam, that entity chooses whether or not to add game play data including music and trailers. So they are choosing to give that information to Valve and giving Valve permission to use it. Which means they are the ones who don’t have the legal ability per their license to do so but did so anyway.

    The best I could say for this lawsuit with those facts is that Valve is guilty of taking their word for it that they were legally allowed to use the posted video or audio in that way.

    If I license something and my license includes certain provisions for distribution but not other provisions for sale or advertisment, then I choose to advertise, then I should be liable for that breach not the venue that I used as the mode for advertisement.

    This is like suing a billboard company for posting an ad with artwork I didn’t properly license for the advertisment space.













  • Didn’t Ford’s CEO just say they wanted highschool graduates who could do math to be automotive techs making $120K a year?

    Plumbers already make ridiculous amounts of money because there aren’t enough of them.

    The median age in my field 5-10 years ago was 55 years old and we aren’t getting an influx of new A&P licensed techs still. The main way the Aviation industry gets it’s techs these days is the military and that’s not even a sure fire way.

    Like. CEO’s doing trades when? Because he’s clearly mistaken if he thinks that it’s not going to be CEO’s and upper management people who get their jobs replaced by AI.

    They keep trying to replace engineers, software devs and so on with AI at all the tech companies and then having to back out of that decision to keep things running.




  • We lived with that because of the technology of the time and cost. An e-ink display of the equivalent size of a TV is gonna be expensive as fuck. And not do better than it’s traditional tv counterpart at video output for viewing. The other person mentioned monitors and those make sense because you’re generally using them for computer stuff which isn’t traditionally movies, television, or games. And if all you want to do is scroll the web and use it for spreadsheets, you’re fine there.

    But gamers aren’t going to buy an e-ink display for gaming. And generally people who want to watch TV and movies won’t either.

    I’d watch a movie on my phone before I tried it on e-ink.
