Haven’t similar lawsuits been lost based on the precedent set by baseball cards and such?

They probably need to show investors that the money spent developing it is worth it. “We’ve added X amount of users this quarter alone!”

I’ve been thinking the same thing. The online tech community is a very small part of a much larger pie and they need to serve multiple audiences. As long as it can be turned off and truly be off, who cares?

Roach estimated he spent 20 or so hours on the suit, including arranging to have a summons served on Verizon and arguing his case in a court hearing. Roach didn’t get much of a payout considering the amount of time he spent, “but it wasn’t about that,” he said.

He did it himself and the ruling includes compensating for the costs associated with.

Man, this guy was on a mission and I respect it.

Steam Machine is interesting. It feels like a solid time for someone to disrupt TV based gaming.

Solid context that I hadn’t considered. Thanks.

I’m honestly surprised your’s is not the top comment. Like, whatever, the launch was bad, but there is a serious mental health crisis if people are forming emotional bonds to the software.

I share the same feeling. The flat lifeless interfaces need to go.

Meta also expected the meta-verse to be the future of the web and thus rename their company, Meta lol

Man, I can’t stand this guy. He thinks dressing like a healing guru makes him any different than the rest of his peers. No one should give a shit about what he thinks anymore.

I’ve always said that AR was the real future. Technology that isolates people from others in the same room as them always seems to fail.

15 years? Wow. He could have run down multiple pedestrians, killed one of them, and used a false insurance claim to try to cover it up and gotten a third of that.

Can Elmo say the word if Elmo is singing his favorite song?

I can’t imagine anyone wants this lol. I’m surprised it’s not somehow managed by “AI”

It feels like Zuckerberg is out of ideas and just chases the trends to stay relevant. He was all in on the “metaverse” until he wasn’t because the concept disappeared. Now, he’s all in on AI because everyone else is. Even the quest, before it became the face of the metaverse, was him chasing another big idea from someone else.

He and the company haven’t had original ideas in a very long time. Even the smaller ones, like Stories and Reels, are just ideas copied from someone else.

Another soulless billionaire kisses the ring.

I don’t think you understand how determined the buyers are once they’ve been convinced by the scammer. I used to work for a major retailer that had signs at the register AND messages that the customer had to accept on the signature pad confirming they didn’t believe they were being scammed before going through with the purchase.

Additionally, my team was instructed to call me over any time they had a customer who they felt was being scammed to try to talk to them. Sometimes, I was successful, but other times I wasn’t. There is still one guy who goes in weekly to buy $500 of various gift cards for his overseas “girlfriend” on WhatsApp. I tried talking to him multiple times and he became increasingly angry at the conversation. I just had to accept I couldn’t help him.

Thanks for looking it up. It was a few years ago, so maybe I messed up the details along the way or the local branch manager was just being a dick to prevent a lost membership.
