This is very fair, but then again, my parents would get confused over the difference between an Xbox and a PlayStation, so take that for what you will.

I believe RCPS3 uses a translation layer in order to achieve its accuracy, so I think porting it would be relatively easy. Then again, the last words of any programer are that something should be relatively easy.

Higher end mobile processors could but it is a big jump in computational load, not just because of the increased processing power of the PS3, but also because it is quite architecturally different from traditional x86 CPUs.

This is why it's kind of amazing how efficient RPCS3 is.

It's been an issue for every election since 2016.

Still great to have some concrete proof but I doubt this is going to matter for the people who need to hear it.

It might be a ripoff, but my question to you is should that be illegal? The entirety of humanity is monkey see monkey do iteration on our previous ideas. It's a dubious thing to litigate.

To add to that, no fan of either is going to confuse one for the other, so where's the issue?

sharing aesthetic shouldn't be enough to prosecute, especially in the case of patents.

My biggest defense against any claim like that is that they're identifiably distinct. You put two of them side by side and not a single fan of either will be confused which is which.

Ah, I just assumed, thanks for the correction.

It's still identifiably distinct, I really hope Nintendo lose because allowing copyright of a concecpt is dystopian especially in the context of our lengthy time frames for copyright.

It reminds me of when Apple wanted to patent the idea of rounded corners.

Taxes and responsibility mostly.

Fucking hate capitalism's need for infinite growth, flat sales means you're doing exactly the same as you were doing last year, if it was sustainable last year it's sustainable this year

Especially for a company that is little more than a platform

As trade with North America and China degraded that was one of the worst casualties.

China has a booming market for small EVs. It is not an understatement to say they are years ahead of us in that regard.

What is it North America? Because you said I'm not allowed to have public transit and now I'm not even allowed to have the type of car I want.

Oh boy do I love freedom.

Touch screens in cars.

When I'm driving I need a tactile immediate response that is easy to understand without looking at it.

Touch screens are for controls that change so you can take advantage of the dynamic nature of a screen for the static needs of a car and the immediate feedback you need, make them the worst possible solution.
