But surely if it was exposed they have to assume it was taken? If you can view the data then you could have saved it locally, print it or screenshot it, even write it down with a notepad and pen. For all intents and purposes if they've

Nintendo are anti piracy, not anti-emulation. They used to sell emulators on their marketplace for their back catalogue under the 'virtual console' brand and more recently on Switch include emulation for NES, SNES and Nintendo 64

I interpreted the comment as a comparison between torrenting and emulation, "but torrenting isn't illegal but is used for illegal things" and thought it was implying the opposite for emulation, i.e that emulation was illegal.

by some-human 4y ago
Emulation and virtualisation is a pretty standard, official, way of running software on other devices, where the software licence also doesn't stop anyone from doing so. Emulating also isn't illegal by itself of a direct link to p

Yes, I see that. My retort was to "The United States government does not employ censors to remove portions of shows before allowing them to air (or stream, whatever)." which it effectively does. The scale isn't black and whit

Sure, but we're talking about cloud storage here for a laymen, who's hardly likely to know what AWS is, and we're also talking about a laymen who just wants to backing up a file, they're not using thinking about any of t

Dropbox used to be hosted on AWS. How is a laymen supposed to tell the difference between Backblaze - running their own servers, and a Dropbox-like - which is really just uploading your files to amazon's servers? That's the point

by some-human 4y ago
Dropbox used Amazon until 2016, to only have their own datacentres in the last 5 years. Who's to say they decide that's not economical and move back to aws? OneDrive IS Microsoft and iCloud IS Apple so they ARE BigTech, the same a

The problem is finding them. If a layman looks for a cloud back up provider that isn't one of the BigTech group - uses Duck Duck Go and finds a small company offering 10GB back up for free. Unfortunately for them, that service is using

I still don't see why you're not exposing these devices to Homekit in Home Assistant so that they show up natively on your Apple devices in the control centre? Having my smart speaker volume control next to my iPhone's volume

In the UK, most students are members of their universitys' branch of the National Union of Students.[1] The unions have a big presence on campus and a bar with heavily discounted drinks and organise a lot of the social clubs and events
