Does the ad money in this case go to the creators of the content displayed on these displays, or does it go to Amazon who also got money from selling these displays?

Can't I just use one Raspberry Pi but run Java on it?

A phone can do a lot. Much much more than ENIAC era supercomputer (I think you'll have to get pretty close to the end of the previous century to find a supercomputer more powerful than a modern smartphone)

What a phone can't do is run an LLM. Even powerful gaming PCs are struggling with that - they can only run the less powerful models and queries that'd feel instant on service-based LLMs would take minutes - or at least tens of seconds - on a single consumer GPU. Phones certainly can't handle that, but that doesn't mean that "cant' do anything".

You can probably get away with it if you write it in a confusing enough fashion; but you need to make it really confusing - to the point even CPU architecture experts could miss it unless they pay very close attention; and remember that the claims - which are the only part of the patent that has any legal meaning - may be limited by law to a single sentence each, but there is no limit on how cumbersome each sentence is; additionally, semicolons are not sentence terminators; this means that this entire comment I just wrote is technically a only one sentence.

UBI is not a real socialist plan

UBI is not a socialist plan at all. UBI is what happens when you:

  • accept the capitalist worldview that interfering with the market and the price system leads to distortions that ruin everything

but

  • think that people deserve to exist even when they are not useful to you

Get a Pixel to use in China and a Xiaomi to use in America.

If you are American, you should buy Chinese tech because the Chinese government is more interested in spying on and controlling its own people than you.

Funny - I assume on one here was actually involved in creating the law that requires identification when buying pornography (or alcohol. Or tobacco) at stores, but we are all considered responsible for it to the point we are hypocrite if we object a similar law?

If someone says they are against that law now, years after it's already established and spread, it won't be taken as "I'm generally against the government limiting our freedom to consume what we want" but as "I want to push children to consume porn/alcohol/tobacco". So no one argues against these laws. But it's much more feasible to argue against the new laws - a ship that's still in the port.

30 years from now, when they make the law that neural implants must detect illegal thoughts in the users' biological brains and block them, you'd make the argument that it's not fundamentally different than blocking the same topics on the internet - a practice that, by that time, will already be accepted by the general populace.

Isn't this the plot of Shimoneta?

Plot twist - what Collective Shout wanted all along was to get these specific games for free (and more importantly - without official transactions to prove they've bought them)
