Was that the infamous Toy Story 2 incident?

Sorry, I phrased my comment poorly. What I meant was that the article doesn't describe what specifically led to those charges, apart from a racist group chat of some kind.

Idc, just please don't call me a coder, it makes me sound like I'm a script kiddy.

Had this exact thought as well. The article is so vague that it doesn't actually describe what they seem to be getting charged with, so unless the DA is completely overstepping bounds (possible but unlikely) there has to be more to it.

Ugh, not this again. I'm very adamantly against piracy and I've personally dumped every one of my Switch ROMs from games I physically own, but these kinds of stunts make me want to pirate Nintendo games purely out of spite. Hopefully this gets thrown out or otherwise resolved quickly. The issue of clean room emulators has been tested before and found to be fair use and to my knowledge there's no legal precedent for Nintendo's claims.

The trouble is that "2 AM" now means radically different things depending on where in the world you are, and you lose any ability to be able to intuitively reason about the time in other parts of the world from you.

So You Want To Abolish Time Zones

In a nutshell:

Before abolishing time zones:

I want to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne. What time is it there?

Google tells me it is currently 4:25am there.

It's probably best not to call right now.


After abolishing time zones:

I want to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne. What time is it there?

It is 04:25 ("four twenty-five") there, same as it is here.

Does that mean I can call him?

I don't know.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

My uncle-in-law is convinced that the CCP is sending spies and sleeper agents in droves across the border. There's just no way to reason with this level of delusion.

I don't know about you, but my work laptop is most definitely not participating in the Steam hardware survey and I'd probably be in trouble if it did.
