They all should enter public domain sooner. Copyright laws are a restriction of freedom of speech and were not envisioned to last over a century. They were originally closer to 20 years - plenty of time to make your profit without creating legions of trust fund babies. Video games are particularly vulnerable because of how hard it can be to play them due to evolving platforms. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Nintendo has been doing stuff like this for a long time. I'm not going to say the ToK/Yuzu fiasco was right, or smart, but Nintendo has lost my sympathy a long time ago. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Time to start hording and saving Roms anywhere I can. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Hell, some people will see Nintendo's constant attempts to shut down ROM sites as a fucking _**challenge**_ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
This is correct, a P2P network goes dark the second the tracker goes down, sure people can upload the same files on another tracker but most people won't do that.
Like, if animebytes got raided then over a decades worth of uploads would just not be availiable, the files themselves still exist on someones seedbox, but the organisation and backend is gone. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
As they should. And they should FINALLY open a Nintendo Shop on PC with proper ports | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

You get an invite by knowing someone (irl or as a trusted friend) or by working your way up. (I got into private torrents over a decade ago, so I don't really know how it is nowadays)
I'm not really sure how to start in 2024, but I think TorrentLeech is a good starting point? maybe? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Time was “yesterday” | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
Best time was yesterday, 2nd best time is today. thankfully I had most of the games I usually played, but this is definitely going to make go after every rom I can find just for the preservations sake. Probably a good time too to refresh and make backups of my Retropie rom collection too. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

They target playthroughs all the time too. Even they are not safe. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
You didn't go through the proper channels.
Amazon wants profit, and to reduce anything that makes the way to profit unsmooth (like legal liability).
They dont want to dig through reviews, but I have no doubt there is a proper channel for reporting that stuff that Nintendo etc make use of. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |
But why did they remove my review and not leave it up? I understand going through a different way to report it, but why take my review down when I was just explaining what it was and that it is illegal? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

It should be the other way around-- it doesn't make sense to make the entire vape disposable when the only part that's used up is the nicotine. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
And the US tried banning alcohol.
It didn't work. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
No. They're wrong. Juul *pods* are disposable. The lithium ion batteries are not.
Compared to the Chinese alternatives where the entire thing, battery and, is trashed by the millions every day.
which have become MUCH more ubiquitous since juul only was selling menthol and tobacco flavor during this whole thing and the Chinese ones come in all flavors. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
It's not just the nicotine that gets used up. The element is also consumable and will result in heavy metals being vaporized as well if used for too long. Vapes are not at all healthy, lol. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Why are disposable vapes even a thing?
Why wouldn't you just have replaceable cartridges?
We are so ridiculously wasteful | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
US is 3% of world population and has 60% of world’s consumption. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
It's so bizarre. Also like why do we even allow plastic disposable bottles when we have glass and aluminum? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Yeah, I just double-checked, too, and it's the wick that burns usually, and that would make more sense. It's probably a synthetic like rayon, which would taste like shit. It's good to know that's more likely to happen before it starts damaging the elements. However, it's still not something you want to be inhaling. It's essentially inhaling burning plastic, assuming it's rayon or something similar. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Yup. I buy disposable after a "I quit let me get rid of my batteries" stint. I should just keep a battery around.🤷♂️ | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
You’re defending vaping. Fuck mate. Get your life in order. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Oh for sure. Thankfully the taste is so repulsive it only takes a small bit to get someone to give up on that element. Rayon and cotton are pretty typical wick materials. 100% agree you dont want to be vaping the wick lol | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
This is the biggest tell that you're not even grown up physically let alone mentally. You know what adults do? What they fucking like, doesn't matter what other people think. When I worked rotating 12's my favorite meal was a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch with chocolate milk while watching toonami at 5:30 am in the break room. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Would it? Juul pods are expensive. $20 for ~3 ml of e-liquid is crazy, especially since I’ve seen 10 ml+ disposable selling for that. Hard to complete there.
Dispos also have a ridiculous variety of flavors. Unless we start seeing more 3rd party flavored pods again, I think juul will still struggle for market share.
(Fuck disposables though, wasteful shits) | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
I mean that's a reason NO ONE should eat junk cereal, not just adults. Kids shouldnt be on high sugar diets either. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Yeah, it's a good warning and will definitely stop you from smoking it. I threw plastic in a fire once as a kid and got a wiff of it. Hands down the worst taste I have ever experienced. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

yeah its fucking ridiculous, i make my own. it's about $0.80 to make 30ml and thats not even buying the PG and VG in bulk. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

It’s taken me 30 tries and counting to quit. It’s just soooooo easy to start again. Cigarettes reek to me now. I could never be covered in that stench again. But vaping can happen in the morning when you wake up and find it under your pillow, or as you watch tv, as you enter the bathroom at a restaurant. There is no escape. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
We had it right when vapes first came into the scene where you only had to buy juice and coils. It’s lead convenient but cheaper and less wasteful. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Throw them away. You won't find them anywhere any more. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Wonder if Juul can sure for money lost or something? I am not a smoker at all, but I thought they kind of got robbed, and the big tobacco probably had something to do with it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Not saying it’s great but disposable cartridges are way better than disposable vapes | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Thankfully there are new pod systems taking over in my area so the disposables are much less common. The new pods are pretty slick too honestly better than juul except for that magical mango pod. Nothing will ever achieve that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
I got a vaporesso- that was about $50. A 4 pack of cartridges is about $12, and I can get about 2 weeks mileage per cartridge.
You can find juice online for like $10 a bottle sometimes- I’ll generally get 4 at a time, and they’ll last me over a month.
All told I’ll spend about $40-50 like every 5-6 weeks to re-up. Compare that to a pack of Vuze cartridges, which cost like $45 for four. I’d have to buy a set every week. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Lobbying. More profit than rechargeable. Same companies will sell either. They prefer to make more money though. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

No lie, try zyn or another tobaco-less pouch. They're lil pouches lil dip that go in your lip but they don't have tobacco so don't need a nasty spit cup. I literally quit overnight. Waited until my vape ran out and then bought a few packs of the zyns for like 5 or 6 bucks each. I haven't hit a vape since may 1st. I also tried to quit a bunch of times and just ended up buying another vape because it's so easy to buy one because you want a couple puffs and then you are "stuck" with it. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
>It cannot be used long enough, was I not clear on that point?
I'm sorry, but this is extremely niave. You can literally allow the element to heat for as long as you want if you hold the button down long enough. Long enough that you will, in fact, damage the coil. I mean, this is literally in instructions of vape pens if you had at all bothered to read them. The fact that the pods are replaceable does not make it impossible to start burning coils. It just reduces the risk of it happening.
>I said nothing about the presence vs the impact, YOU were the one that said heavy metals would be vaporized
How about you finish that sentence for once instead of taking it out of context and believing it to mean whatever you think I mean. I literally said , "The element is also consumable and will result in heavy metals being vaporized as well ***if used for too long***." Learn to read.
>you also implied that was a bad thing presumably for health reasons, so you also have claimed the vaporization was causing harm.
Because it quite literally is you dunce. Lead will persist in your bones for 25 years or longer, allowing it to accumulate. There is no healthy amount of lead to be inhaling. I'm sorry you feel defensive about the fact that vaping is unhealthy, but it is. If you're going to do it, you should own the risks. Trying to argue they don't exist because it makes you feel uncomfortable is just childish.
>Why did you make your point about a type of vape where the heating element really cannot be overheated vaporized?
Because it quite literally can be. You should actually take time to learn about the shit you're putting in your body and read the instructions on your vape pen.
I hope that helps. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

Actually almost every disposable vape has a cutoff so that cant happen, but more importantly, that would reequire far more damage, overuse, and abuse, than a disposable would even be capable of. The power is not high enough and the coil cant be used too long because the pod is empty.... Where this could even remotely come into play would be in higher temp box mods and subohm coils, disposable vapes are explicitly the types youd worry about this even less than you should be. You should try seeing a vape in real life before explaining how they work.

Again, which one of your studies shows that this damage has happened in a human because of vaping. You are directly implying things then trying to get away from them , then implying them again. That's not how this works. You seem intent on making broad sweeping generalizations of possibilities being certainties, then immediately walking back to the "possible" parts. Are you going to lean into if this is happening or not, or just change when thats convenient?
Where is the study showing the lead exposure has happened? Just link me that one.
Of course you wouldn't want to expose yourself to lead, im just not worried about that probability in this instance because I'm not some kid in DARE that thinks one cigarette means I have cancer. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-10-06 |

Kinda only matters when a court will enforce the contract. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
How do these contracts work? Do the initial buyers have to agree not to sell their car for a certain period of time? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

Something like that. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Ford does it with limited production exclusives like rare mustangs, the gt supercar, race variants of cars, that type of thing. The type of cars that you have to actually apply and be invited to purchase. But a normal under $100k car seems extremely…frivolous | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
The same people who don't read articles just titles I'm guessing. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Still some things are enforceable by contracts others not so much. For instance in some EU countries it would be hard to enforce this if it's a sale. Sale are changes in property and I can resell what's my property.
The only way around it I think would be giving a "discount" at the time of purchase and that "discount" be attached to me keeping the car in my name. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
He cannot sell his own car? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Not exactly. The person ordered the truck when they had a house, but knew about their apartment's parking situation before they took *delivery* of the vehicle.
>Blaine Raddon reserved a Cybertruck after watching the vehicle’s launch online, but since he ordered the truck his living situation changed. He and his wife separated and he moved from a home with a garage into an apartment complex with tight parking slots.
As there was a 4 year period between reveal and delivieries commencing, it definitely feels like a situation that the buyer could have forseen... | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
>He also said his building is okay with him keeping the vehicle there, but they won’t be held liable if the truck gets damaged by another car while protruding from the parking spot.
I mean...they generally wouldn't be liable if the vehicle *didn't* protrude, so this seems like a non-story. The resale clause has been known for a while, for better or for worse.
Also, as I mentioned in another post:
>Blaine Raddon reserved a Cybertruck after watching the vehicle’s launch online, but since he ordered the truck his living situation changed. He and his wife separated and he moved from a home with a garage into an apartment complex with tight parking slots.
There was a 4 year period between reveal and delivieries commencing, so it feels like a situation that the buyer could have probably planned for. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

Ford's should be solid because there's more than an exchange of property: the application process lends legitimacy to the status of the car, contract, and the fact the whole sale is about creating a relationship. Do I like this? No. Imo, if a manufacturer takes my money and says I cant sell, they should be buying it back from me or first in line to do so. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Signed a contract. Tesla wants to avoid people reselling them at higher prices. It’s sort of how car dealers put insane markups on vehicles. In this case since there are no Tesla car dealers, it would be the first owner putting a high markup on the resell market since these are “rare” vehicles | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

They didn't want people reserving a bunch of cyber trucks for $100 or $250 and then trying to sell them at an inflated cost because of false demand.
It's like when a band announces tour dates and a couple companies buy all the tickets the first 4 seconds they are available and then charge a higher price to re sell them. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
I agree. Ford actually threatened to sue someone. John cena maybe for trying to sell his new GT? It was someone in the level of fame. Not sure if they did or not though. But yeah it’s actually a very bespoke process where they fit the car to you and have the interior tailored to fit you. Not that company should have that sort of power to force a 12 month waiting period but it does mitigate potential for scalpers. That being said what do I car if a $450k car gets scalped for a $500k that’s fuck you money that I’ll never have lol | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

Yep! Ford sued Cena. Looks like they [settled](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a21622751/the-flip-that-flopped-john-cena-and-ford-settle-gt-resale-lawsuit/).
>Cena and the Ford Motor Company have settled their legal feud regarding Cena’s purchase and resale of a Ford GT. Cena will pay Ford an unspecified amount of money, which Ford reportedly will donate to an as yet unnamed charity.

What brain? | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
Thats not exactly the reason, it’s worse than that. Ferrari requires you to own a lower-end Ferrari in order to buy the most top-end recent models. That means he would have to buy 2 cars which he’s not interested in. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
The way these things tend to work is it's not really a fine.
I'm guessing a little here but I presume that the purchase agreement includes an agreement not to sell the car within a certain time and that this clause can be waived for a fee. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |

Not sure how close to spec the cyber truck ended up being. Certainly wasn’t close to price. When preorders were around, projected price was a bargain for the spec. Even I wanted one— until I realized they are road legal where I live. | r/technology | comment | r/technology | 2024-09-06 |
