  • The official Nintendo Museum appears to be emulating SNES games on a Windows PC, which is slightly embarrassing
  • Bezier Bezier 6d ago 100%

    It's a weird assumption. Like I said, emulation for backward compatibility is common.

    Nintendo has some serious emulation experts for building products, but this setup rigged by some museum staff could be anything.

    Do they always just wait for some random strangers to implement an emulator for them?

    Waiting? There is zero chance availability is an issue. There are many ready to go snes emulators for windows out there.

  • Bezier Bezier 6d ago 100%

    I guess people are assuming it runs whatever third party emulator. It was at least how I first imagined it.

    If that's the case, it's in my opinion very embarrassing: attempting to profit from stuff made by the community they act extremely hostile towards.

    If not, I guess it's just mildly embarrassing that they have a poorly concealed windows machine taking away from the immersion.

    Ecovacs claimed: "Users can rest assured that they do not need to worry excessively about this," as the highlighted security vulnerabilities are "extremely rare in typical user environments and require specialized [sic] hacking tools."

  • Mazda's $10 subscription for remote start sparks backlash after killing open source workaround via DMCA takedown
  • Bezier Bezier 1w ago 100%

    I have two issues with Mazda here:

    using a Mazda developed API

    You cannot copyright an API. They took down a foss project by using false copyright pretenses.

    If you think all that infrastructure should be included free

    That one I actually agree with, almost. Demanding infrastructure for free is unreasonable. It's just that the feature is artificially locked to said infrastructure. It didn't need it in the past.

In many cases, police will get the driver’s permission before they access the data inside the vehicles. However, on rare occasions, when police feel the information needs to be gotten quickly, they will simply use a court-ordered warrant to tow the vehicle and empty it of its necessary evidence. > > The Chronicle reports that the warrant-and-tow method has been used by Oakland police in at least three instances over the past two months. The cars’ external cameras, paired with its sophisticated network of sensors, can prove particularly helpful in solving cases. In one recent case in the city, a woman was shot and killed after a group of men pulled guns on one another and began shooting. Police took advantage of video recorded by a nearby Tesla to aid their investigation. Ultimately, two men were arrested several weeks later and charged with murder, the newspaper reports.
