Yes, like refunds it'll probably get sorted the first time someone's estate with a bit of money tries to will it to someone and then they take Valve to court/make a complaint to the EU.

The EU has already taken care of it.

The Court of Justice of the European Union found that a
copyright owner exhausts the right of distribution to a copy of a computer
program once he sells, or authorizes the sale of, the copy. This means that whoever purchased the
computer program can resell it and the copyright holder cannot control the
resale of the copy. The Court found that
this exhaustion principle applies whether the copy is on a tangible medium like
a CD-ROM or DVD or an intangible download from the Internet, and it also
applies to corrected and updated programs that the copyright owner sells. Furthermore, the Court made clear that contract
clauses that deny the customer the right to transfer his copy of the computer
program are void.

The best method I've found for using it is to help you with languages you may have lost familiarity in and to walk it through what you need step by step. This lets you evaluate it's reasoning. When it gets stuck in a loop:

Try A!
Actually A doesn't work because that method doesn't exist.
Oh sorry Try B!
Yeah B doesn't work either.
You're right, so sorry about that, Try A!
Yeah.. we just did this.

at that point it's time to just close it down and try another AI.

The best part is the mods who don't remove posts where people celebrate someone being killed, or suggest someone be killed because they disagree with them. The unfiltered bigotry is really the second best part of the fediverse /s

Yeah, romanizing Asian names is done poorly to be honest. I saw it a lot in Korea. They had this 'official' system that they followed, but to be honest it mostly caused more issues. The common joke at the olympics was the Korean guy named suk, but it was pronounced more like sock than suck. and if they'd just spelled it like that , it would eliminate those jokes entirely. Spelling it pawn or pon would eliminate that connotation completely.

It's a very common part of Thai names. Not sure what the origin is, but you see it all over the place.

Half the time in these stories it comes out the parents/relatives/friends happen to actually be experts in the field and work at some high level place where the teens in question just happened to have access to cutting edge resources and 'guidance'.

There had been one other documented proof of the theorem using trigonometry by mathematician Jason Zimba in 2009

No it doesn't.

Why? This is one of the few movies I've turned off because it was so bad.

 
 

Piracy adjacent here. We have a printer, colour laserjet, that is from another 'region', was a really nice printer and we bought it just before moving and decided to bring it. There is an equivalent printer here with the same cartridges but we've found out they're 'region locked'. Brand is HP/Samsung.

I was wondering if anyone knows if third party cartridges which work around the chip also work around the region protection? We can actually region reset our printer, however 2/4 toner cartridges still have quite a bit in them so we'd like to use those up completely before switching.

Anyone know much about this?
