Ford Patents In-Car System That Eavesdrops So It Can Play You Ads
  • Yeah, the "let no one else use it" portion of my comment is what i meant when you say "patent owners are generally more than happy to license their tech"

    I hope ford doesn't.

    And yes while patents dont grant exclusivity it gives a company the option to try and argue that a competitors version isnt novel enough. In the USA, where ford is from, patent law screwery is abounds if you have enough money. Of which Ford is backed by the US government.

    Im not here to point out whether or not the patent is the issue. The problem is the spying and selling of personal data. If ford proceeds in a way that limits that exposure to the rest of car manufacturers then fantastic, even if its only in a nominal way.

    I do still appreciate your refresher on how patents work though! Hope the rest of your day goes well.

  • A Word About Private Attribution in Firefox
  • I think that last paragraph precisely summarizes the flaw in 90% of the discourse about this. People are trying to solve a problem that shouldn't exist to need to be solved.

    If you set your goal to scale the industry wayyyy back, all of a sudden it becomes sustainable again. Just like it was 10 years ago. Society based on endless growth is unsustainable and all that yeah?

    What was the anaology? We're too busy trying to figure out the best position to have sex with our own mothers instead of trying to have less sex with our own mothers?

  • Shin Megami Tensei 5 is finally coming to PC with newly expanded Vengeance edition
  • Yup. Persona5 was the first game ive ever played from them. It's also the last game ive bought from them because bigger better versions of stuff keeps coming out. So im just waiting until everything is 3+ years old at this point and no new "royal" equivalent is on the way.

  • Edge rule
  • Correct, but thats not really a solution as i would still need to emulate a windows OS to play the games i want.

    That said, linux has come a far way in that regard. Hopefully just another few years.

    Windows becoming more of a service/subscription will hopefully speed that process up as people abandon ship.
