    The Unknowns of Emulation: A Breakdown of Yuzu V. Nintendo

    How many pirated copies is 1 life worth, and what percentage of those pirated copies would have otherwise been purchased in an alternate world where Yuzu emulator doesn't exist? 1709819686 The reason you believe that is because it hurts developers. But if no developers were hurt, what's the...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Interesting, I wonder whether that would be legal. I suppose there are multiple issues here: 1. Do we own the information on our own devices? 2. Did Yuzu's speech cause significant financial harm to Nintendo? Is their company in significant financial trouble as a result? 3. What about...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Well, perhaps at least we can take comfort in the fact that Nintendo didn't actually win the case, so there is no legal precedent being set here. All that happened was Nintendo threw its financial weight around to get the outcome it wanted.

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    In other countries if you lose the case you have to pay legal fees to the defendant. This would have a chilling effect which imo is desirable given that it's better to let a guilty person go free than hurt an innocent person. edit: I guess it's still a problem as the small fish can't afford a...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Just got done watching it and the key takeaways appear to be: 1. Emulators can be legal and devs can even legally use the console's BIOS in development of the emulator, but cannot include the BIOS in the final product. 2. Dolphin is almost certainly illegal as it contains cryptographic keys...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Why not tho? I mean if I design a combustion engine I don't think others can make copies of it - the design is still my intellectual property. YUZU devs: "But we see now that because our projects can circumvent Nintendo's technological protection measures and allow users to play games outside...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    I don't understand this decision. Does this mean anyone who makes an emulator can also be sued? Wasn't there a previous case where emulators being found to be legal? I thought emulators were legal as long as they don't contain any intellectual property? Now that I think about it, the...

    Tutorial How to Update Firmware of JMicron JMS578 - USB3.0 - Sata Enclosure (Black Screen/Lock/Music Stop)

    My guess is you've got a dodgy USB cable. Random disconnects are exactly what happens when the cable is bad. The fan cutting out is consistent with that also. There are so many cheap nasty USB cables on the market. I've had countless issues across multiple systems due to poor USB...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    The vaccines are safe and effective. However the standard of efficacy was lowered to include vaccines which are non-sterilising and low durability (normal vaccines are sterilising and high durability). So if the standard of efficacy was lowered, then perhaps the standard of safety was...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    I think it's important to note that "less of a chance to spread the virus" is not equivalent to "less of a chance to contract the virus". Earlier I used a leaking bathroom tap analogy where the leak was slowed from 10L/min to 5L/min and noted this will still flood the bathroom, it will just...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    The only way people like you will learn, is when they finally put something in the mandatory injections which you don't like, or are unsure about. But not until then. I said it before: why would anyone want their boss deciding what goes in their body? Why not just retain your ability to...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    People who go around injecting others without their consent are lizards. The law says that valid consent must be free from coercion, so no matter how much you want to deny it you absolutely are injecting people without their consent. Otherwise bosses could say "date me or you're fired" and a...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    In the article it says "Biden had given federal workers the choice of undergoing regular testing instead of getting vaccinated, but that testing opt-out will no longer be an option" edit: and shouldn't you be against the government forcing private companies to have testing mandates? I thought...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    "Mandates are optional" sounds like an oxymoron to me. In your favour though, businesses could have a dress code which is essentially a mandate, and I'd agree it should be their option whether to have a dress code. But what if the employer decided they are implementing a new dress code...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    Your statement is empirically unsound, but more importantly it's logically invalid. I won't get into the empiricism because you'll just quote the establishment and think you've won the empirical debate. So instead I'll show you the logical error you're making, because I know you still respond...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    The safety issue may not even be the main issue. The horror of 2021 was the revelation that most people want the establishment deciding what goes in their body. I didn't know most people were like this. I thought most people would prefer to make decisions for themselves. Instead I found...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    The law can say whatever it wants, it's not a source of truth. I suppose if the law is informed by government agencies, those agencies wouldn't be a source of truth either. That's why I said there is an exception if informed consent was given. The key word there is informed - you can't...

    Covid-19 vaccine

    Anything with a punishment for noncompliance, is forced. Otherwise you would have to believe that nobody is forced to obey the law. The more severe the punishment, the stronger the degree of force.
