Fun fact: 90% of the cells in your body are bacteria.

That would certainly benefit companies developing generative AI. The sooner something loses copyright protection, the easier it is to use it as training data.

They are in physical form, so they all still have the original DRM. And if the DRM has been cracked, then a torrent probably already exists.

Copyright is already finite.

Copyright initially held by a company expires 95 years from the year of its first publication or 120 years from the year of its creation, whichever comes first.

Copyright initially held by an individual expires 70 years after the individual dies. That could easily be a longer period than company-held copyright.

for the most part the game companies now furnish us with a copy of the game, many times one copy for each platform for which the game is available. We now receive games for a variety of platforms including PlayStation 3, XBOX, Wii, DS, PSP and PC.

That interview was in 2012, in case you’re curious.

The issue here isn’t the absence of archived video games. Copies of those games exist at the Library of Congress. And just like a physical book at your local library, you have to go to the library if you want to borrow them.

The Video Game History Foundation wants to download those games, kind of like the e-books available at many libraries. By law, this requires a licensing agreement between the library and the copyright holder. That’s why for many books, libraries only have physical copies. So the VGHF wants to change that.

Mandatory deposit is already required for copyright registration, and this includes video games.

407. Deposit of copies or phonorecords for Library of Congress8 (a) Except as provided by subsection ©, and subject to the provisions of subsection (e), the owner of copyright or of the exclusive right of publication in a work published in the United States shall deposit, within three months after the date of such publication—

(1) two complete copies of the best edition; or

(2) if the work is a sound recording, two complete phonorecords of the best edition, together with any printed or other visually perceptible material published with such phonorecords.

Neither the deposit requirements of this subsection nor the acquisition provisions of subsection (e) are conditions of copyright protection.

(b) The required copies or phonorecords shall be deposited in the Copyright Office for the use or disposition of the Library of Congress.

OK, but do you have a really comfy couch?

They can. IIRC, Amazon apps would check to make sure the Amazon App Store was still installed. And I’m pretty sure Netflix games stop working when you unsubscribe from Netflix

Because the developers want to check whether you got the app from the Play Store.

If the developers don’t care where you get the app from, then they won’t check.

It sounds like they simply aren’t making an 8900.

Spoiler: it’s not exactly 1/137, that’s just an approximation.

For one-off file transfers between any two devices, I like to use justbeamit.com

Normally not if you played more then two hours. But Steam is making a special exception and allowing refunds anyway.

Maybe get a 3.5mm to USB dongle and just keep it attached to the headphones?

They provide 3D rumble.

The study he references also did not bother to test for sugar, only fructose.

When they later repeated their analysis, they found that Mexican Coca Cola actually does contain sugar, unlike American Coca Cola.

The paper cited in that video had serious flaws in their methodology.

A repeat analysis by the same group found that Mexican Coca Cola actually does contain table sugar (sucrose) as well as fructose, whereas American Coca Cola contains no table sugar and more fructose than the Mexican version.

The difference is that you can completely avoid lead poisoning if you eliminate exposure to lead, but you can’t completely avoid cancer even if you eliminate exposure to carcinogens.

And eliminating exposure to aspartame would have only a minimal effect, at best, on your overall risk of cancer.

Don’t forget cell phones, which are in the same risk category as aspartame.

protons don’t exist as a particle-wave

They do, but protons have a much shorter wavelength due to their greater mass.
