They also said that about video games. Now some single player games have an 'always online' requirement and can not be cracked anymore since they rely on content not stored locally. I can see that happening with cars.

You're right that you can do DSP everywhere, but if you implement this in user space you give everybody rights to damage the speaker. It's not only useful for tiny speakers: everything from home audio to big PA installations for c

Still doesn't give you any right. Lobby your politicians if you want better copyright laws. Being a pirate will only strengthen the case for those who believe strong copyright enforcement is necessary.

I think pixel density is a strange metric for a screen you're watching fully (instead of reading text from a part of the screen). If you want a bigger screen you can take the same content and upscale it (early digital cinema showed mai

Super Mario Galaxy 1 was part of the 'Mario 3D All stars' pack for Switch. It's hard to take a case for illegal copying serious if you start with incorrect examples. I'm convinced that as long as people want those games

You mean you don't get an upgraded version for free when buying a new console. While I'd like that Nintendo is not big on 'for free' ;)

Since there is no 'future hardware' announced yet how can you state Nintendo will never provide you with an official way to take advantage of it? Seems Nintendo regularly re-releases games on new consoles, often with graphical imp

Even Dacia has to follow the rules. Here in the EU a cell uplink (eCall) is mandatory since 2018 so even Dacia has about the same integrated radio/satnav/3g unit as every other Renault. Catalog price has also about doubled over th

Yes, if you don't mind the latency and throughput restrictions of Thunderbolt. Eg. Apple's M1 has a memory throughput of 66GB/s, which is an order of magnitude more compared to Thunderbolt 40Gbit/s. So it's more lik

Didn't everyone who requires their code to run fast already upgrade to M1/M2 processors? Considering they already run on Intel it'll probably be done by someone, probably after they open up the code.

LCD als has 'burn', but it's much less common. Also, local dimming LED backlights wear out unevenly which causes brightness uniformity to get worse.

The rest of the picture is dark, so the "burn-in" picture could be barely visible in normal daylight. No way to tell how severe this is.

The point is to reduce the attack surface, especially for browsers that run untrusted input. You don't want a local exploit in your browser (that hopefully is also configured not to have access to your entire filesystem) to screenshot
