In physics, the word observation means an interaction. An observation in physics does not mean a human with an arbitrary level of intelligence.

Steam added DRM at the very start. And it was originally worse until the public pushed back.

You couldn’t play HL2 without online verification through Steam.

I bet you throw your trash onto the street too. “It’s just one plastic cup. One plastic cup doesn’t matter.”

L.H.O.O.Q.

Du, du champs, Du champs mich.

No context, no upvote.

Practically no power isn’t 0. It’s up to 3watts. For comparison a Pixel 10 at 100% CPU is 6.5 watts.

When the cat observes the experiment by not dying, it collapses from the cat’s point of view.

If an interaction occurs it collapses for all points of view. The geiger counter is the observer.

So only scientists capable of observing create the entire universe from moment to moment? People who are extraordinarily stupid or just sleeping don’t independently exist?

Telsa sales are up in Europe. People already forgot.

So at what point in human evolution was one human conscious enough to have the first observation and therefore spring quantum mechanics into existence in the universe?

You could revoke authorizations. Which didn’t matter because until 2007 it didn’t need Internet activation.

Who wouldn’t spend $100k to some Pinkertons to kill a few employees to save millions in wages. It’s a good business decision. And good business is American!

I think we all understand the joke is that the eyes represent the endpoint of the observation apparatus. That is the first panel is isolated and the second panel has a detector measuring the path that the scientist then looks at.

So yeah, “eyes” don’t cause a waveform collapse. But how does a two panel cartoon with no words represent no interaction? First panel is blank?

That is absolutely not true. You sold your game with the key. Nothing about CD keys nor secure rom stopped this. The CD key gave the game the location of the specially stamped spot on the CD to verify it was the original CD. SecureRom kept people from selling copies. It did not stop selling the original.

The person who disagrees is too young to know that was ever possible. They have grown up in a dystopia so they don’t know the law is being broken or know that other countries, unlike America, stopped Steam from violating consumer laws.

Of course you don’t “own software” like you don’t own the right to distribute to reproduce a book you bought. This is about resale rights.

The Supreme Court ruled and Congress ratified into law that once a copyrighted work is sold, the owner gives up the right to control resale. The specific case was book publishers who added a disclaimer that the book couldn’t be resold cheaply after purchase.

This is exactly what Steam prevents.

that he got rich doing what he loves

What he loved doing was taking away consumer rights and pocketing the profit as the one who did it the best. Before Steam, you actually owned your games and could resell them without asking anyone permission. Steam bypassed all copyright laws by saying, “But what if we sold a steam key instead of the game.” It’s the same “It’s not illegal if we do it on a computer” law sidestep that techbros learned from Gabe and copied.

Before Apple sold restricted ownership music and before Amazon sold restricted ownership books, their was Steam paving the way to our current economy where you own nothing.

Neither the writer nor the director is a problem. The problem is studio interference. The Hobbit was written. Peter Jackson did a fantastic Lord of the Rings.

So we had a perfect story and the perfect director. But then the studio said, “We need The Hobbit to be two movies and it needs to be done in 6 months because we messed up the previous director and already planned on a specific release date.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene is crazy to suggest Ivermectin because Pete Hegseth said germs aren’t real.

Who is Bubba?

Every accusation is a confession.
