  • Xbox Hardware Revenue Has Been Dropping for Two Years Straight - IGN

    Jump

  • I feel like I'm out of the loop.

    Have they made a hard announcement that they will not have another home console generation or is that just inferred from their public strategy?

  • I am aware of classifications and content descriptions. I'm not in US so the ESRB are not directly relevant but my local body does something similar.

    I find the actual classifications to be a bit conservative so treat them all as advisory and make my own decisions. For example my son beat these (on easy) at four years old, I don't think we would have enjoyed them as much if we waited until fifteen:

    On the other end of the scale I can use these descriptions to see that while Saints Row (2022) is tamer than GTA5 it is still going to have content thats a bit rough for an eight year old:

    Parental controls are another question but I use then for time limits on his tablet and content restrictions on consoles and streaming services.

    The way I have parental controls set up he has access to everything M or lower but MA15+ or higher requires a conversation.

    They help inform my decisions but at the end of the day we are making our own choices within our household.

  • Godot 4.5 is finally out!

    Jump

  • 🎉

    They put a lot of care into that announcement page and showing the major features visually. Great job!

  • How often do guys have a haircut?

    Jump

  • Around 8 times a year.

    I take my son to the barber and we have a haircut together.

    If it was just myself I wouldn't notice when my hair was long but I can see it on him so I know when its time.

  • Release candidate: Godot 4.5 RC 1

    Jump

  • Great to see!

    I tend to just use the betas for a quick smoke test to check my project still builds.

    The RCs are generally stable enough to use as a daily driver. And if for some reason its not then now's the time to find those bugs before the release.

  • They good!

  • Why is the public domain (in terms of intellectual property) useful?

    Jump

  • If you call yourself the Burger King in your kitchen, there's no trademark infringement there. However, if you start selling you food and calling yourself the Burger King, then that is a trademark violation. If you want to write Twilight fan fiction using the characters and story lines from the books, you're free to do so. There is no copyright violation. However, if you want to profit from your expansions to another author's work, you have to rename the characters and setting and call it "Fifty shades of grey".

    I believe in must jurisdictions its the distribution that makes it an issue not the selling. If you started handing out your "Burger King" burgers in a public place I would expect to be shut down.

  • Are color palettes subject to copyright protection?

    Jump

  • Its Trademark Law in Australia.

    For example Cadbury has a trademark protecting its purple (defined as pantone 2685C) from competitors in the chocolate industry. On the other hand Whiskas has one protecting its purple (defined as CMYK {40% C, 100% M) from competitors in the cat food industry.

    Because its trademark law both only cover their specific industries (so purple would be fair game for a business in another field), but despite the precise definitions used for the colours they would be able to argue that a competitor using a similar purple could cause confusion in consumers, (so they effectively block out an area of the color spectrum).

  • How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows

    Jump

  • I believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.

    So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.

  • Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

  • I don't think the maths checks out

  • Is Boost for reddit finally dead?

    Jump

  • If in doubt I recommend looking at either Wikipedia or github for canonical links.

    Revanced isn't big enough for a Wikipedia page but there github profile links to the official pages:

    at the plasma donation place, one of the screening questions is "have you had a condition with scab formation?" - like, a superficial cut, or a mosquito bite?

    Jump

  • a condition with scab formation?

    Ask them if unsure but my guess is they mean conditions like Haemophilia.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia

    Also don't rely on their screening. I believe the test a performed on bundles of donations for efficiency and a bad donation may cause the others in that bundle to be discarded too.

  • Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time?

    Jump

  • A direct boycott of Amazon and its subsidiaries? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.

    But boycotting services that happen to use Amazon? Impossible!

    Any business may use products ordered from there. Your local toll gate may use AWS. Unless you are a major client nobody is going to let you audit their supply contracts.
