Presenting CC-BY-SA as "SO owns anything" is an even more terrible lack of understanding.

Guess you have never used norton/windows/midnight commander either?

Extending one organization's results to saying "completely unenforced" is definitely something, considering the ~billion of fines per year.

Is that gonna be before or after the iphone with no usb port?

It's really a wonder how every time gdpr is even remotely related, there's always gotta be someone complaining about how gdpr is at fault for the cookie/data prompts, and never that sites and advertising companies (and their 2137 partners) are at fault for actually making those prompts as annoying as possible in hopes that you just agree.

The brick itself? Probably not gonna happen anytime fast, cause that's a custom chip in there and it doesn't have easy connections to the outside world.

But the interesting part will be in scanning multiple tiles/minifigures (they have NFC iso15693 tags inside which are easily read) to come up with how they encode the sounds inside - they have about 100-ish bytes of data stored on them.

I just don't find remembering an exact list of all of them a worthy information to keep in my brain. Maybe if I had a dozen, but between me and my wife we do read much more than that. I also don't remember all of the contents of my steam games list, because what's the point? I can always look it up quickly.

I did eventually solve my duplicate book problem by making ourselves a searchable list I can access remotely, so now I can just look it up when I'm at the store.

Being deliberate about obtaining them isn't even remotely related to any of that.

I'd imagine this is also more specific to them being physical items, since it's much easier and obvious to look up an ebook if you just look at a list of files wherever you keep them.

Sometimes we definitely want 'items' though, so for example I am in a physical bookstore and see a book I might be interested in, so I buy it, to find out later back home that I already have the very same book - and edition - already. It's a scenario that anyone with some amount of books definitely encountered multiple times, I know I did it myself a few times. :)

Ability of an ISBN search of my collection would have helped me in this case - scanning a barcode is easy enough task to accomplish.

And even if I had a different edition, the resulting title from searching for a different edition would be enough to help me figure out that I should not buy a book I already own.

But that would require directing the anger at specific companies (and their 2137 ad partners) rather than at an easy target of the banana-regulating evil authority.

Sadly whenever this kind of discussion pops up it's usually a very unpopular take.

Yeah, I would say a big ad for a game that is literally THE textbook example of gambling mechanics and dark patterns, followed by 10 other ads for games of the similar genre, is exactly what the previous poster does NOT want from a service like that.

Oh and also from that page there's no telling at all what actual _games_ are included. The only slider on this page that lists anything is for different gambling slop "offers".

That's not even in the same category as Apple Arcade.

It's also super easy not to use hard drugs, yet that's not a reason to stop restricting them.

If something's harmful it should be controlled.

I think people like to imagine it's not viable because the most commonly known adblocker refuses to release the version for it. Negative news somehow stick better.

Fortunately it's not the only one and for example Adguard works perfectly fine.

That sounds like the buyer's problem though.

Because unlike the authors of this set - who went and stripped the posts out of usernames and permalinks to anonymize it - that set you mention just grabbed data out of the API as-is (at least based on its huggingface description that's left over).

That's the difference.

Or, "How To Get Some Public Appreciation With Minimal Effort: An Attempt".

If they actually cared they'd host (and more importantly, supported since they probably don't run on modern systems without some fiddling) those games themselves.

Not like they don't have a store with games or anything.
