That's why the news that Grok is racist is true. The US government will be even more systematically racist now.

I commented a user's use of "rare". Then you did the same to my comment.

I didn't think how the initial poster use of the word "rare" meant to describe "a matter of popular practice, not difficulty." So I replied back to you.

When someone says "rare operating system", the word "rare" describes "operating system".

Here is the statement again:

Normal people either can’t afford these devices or don’t have time for all the hassle of installing and using a rare operating system on a phone.

In your sentence, "rare" is used to describe "it", a pronoun, which refers to the action "to walk around with an actual tinfoil hat".

Umm... I don't think that's right. I don't think you could ever buy a phone from Google with GrapheneOS.

Minimum wage in Spain is €1,300 per month. A Pixel 9a is under $500 and under €550 and currently on sale for $449 and €500. A couple of hundred can get you a Pixel 9. What exactly is a not obscenely price for a flagship phone to you?

And I don't even understand your second comment. People spend over an hour a day on social media alone.

So the normal person in Spain could buy this phone and the normal person in Spain does have the time to figure out how to install a "rare" operating system. A "rare" operating system that's free and easily copied.

Um... okay. I thought this would be an article about how Asus used gold instead of copper for their PCB to study what the difference would be on modern tech.

This is just advertising garbage for douchebags.

This was also explained in the source I linked.

Interestingly, since the data is read twice, some unlicensed developers exploited that. They would have logo data for something other than Nintendo in the location the logo data was normally stored. So you could boot the Gameboy and see some other logo besides the Nintendo one. But, when the logo data was read again for validation, they would quickly change the logo data to the Nintendo logo. That way, the Nintendo logo was never technically reproduced on screen, yet the Gameboy would still boot. Even more genius if you ask me! Very few unlicensed games were released for the Gameboy (at least here in the states). Here’s the best list I could find of unlicensed games.

Thank you for the info.

I appreciate you took the time to correct me on this. I appreciate the information.

As for me saying copyright infringement, I thought it would've be trademark infringement since it is a trademarked logo but the blog post said copyright and they seem to have done their research so I went with that. I figured maybe the code itself for the Game Boy hardware and rom was copyrighted.

I should've said what I don't like about riding motorcycles on the road with cars are unsafe drivers in cars.

The car dealers lobby group is a huge part of this. Note, I said car dealers, not car manufacturers.

They pay off the politicians and the politicians use the people's money for these lawsuits. They are the reason why public transportation is horrendous in LA. The people suffer twice.

They were also the ones trying to stop Tesla from selling directly from the Tesla website for obvious reasons.

Interesting. Are mini electric motorcycles difficult to fix or are so cheaply constructed it's not worth it?

Here something I always thought was interesting about Nintendo and copyrights.

The Nintendo logo for the original Game Boy (the one that scrolls down) was a way to prevent unlicensed developers from releasing games on the Game Boy.

Games would not boot up if the Nintendo logo is not read on the cartridge and the ROM.

So for a developer to release a game on the Game Boy without Nintendo knowing, they would have to commit copyright infringement.

The Game Boy was released in 1989, over 36 years ago. They used this same tactic on the Switch. They claim the prod keys, which are needed for Switch emulators, are copyrighted.
