And who is the arbiter of unreasonable? Sony.

It’s their policy, they get to determine what is unreasonable, not some independent neutral third party.

“I only work at evil corporation, I pull the levers doing the day to day evil stuff, but you gotta understand, I’m a good guy, being evil is just my paycheck.”

This is so easily gamed. Make social media accounts of people you don’t like, be extremely toxic towards Sony on them.

Watch that person get their accounts nuked from orbit.

Do that until someone sues Sony.

This is the sort of bullshit that companies intentionally put out to get back good PR. “It wasn’t us, it was the shadowy execs!”

It’s PR 101, blame nameless people that may or may not exist and you get the good will back on your side as the hatred is focused on people that either don’t care or don’t exist.

I mean, actively silencing people because they can’t afford a lawyer to defend themselves is pretty much all you need to be a piece of shit. Parody has repeatedly been upheld as fair use, however you still have to appear and defend yourself and that takes time and money, more than most people have. So in effect C&D letters become one sided sledgehammers when used against average people.

To be fair, she’s heavily protected, to the point where criticism will get you banned and she throws around cease and desist letters to anyone parodying her work.

She has more than earned the scorn she gets, she just also happens to be a woman on the internet and that comes with sexism by default.

Just because it’s super important.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT CRIMES YOU COMMIT OR POST THEM ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

There are two types of criminals, those that keep their mouth shut and those getting arrested.

If you somehow get approached by police, DO NOT SPEAK TO THEM AT ALL. Explicitly state that you want a lawyer to represent you and that you will not be speaking or answering any questions. The only questions you have to legally answer (in most jurisdictions) is to identify yourself. Once you have done that, ask for a lawyer and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

There’s a time and place to talk and it’s with your lawyer present.

So fix it yourself or hire someone to do it.

Once I got my MSI Claw I’ve pretty much stopped using anything else for emulation. It plays everything up to Switch games easily. The Vita and the PSP were massive until that point though.

I remember jailbreaking my psp and throwing on a cfw, used it to play SNES and GBA roms, it was fucking awesome.

I’d hardly call Palworld innovative, It’s Satisfactory/Factorio meets Rust with legally distinct pokemon. The novelty is what carries it but it didn’t exactly reinvent the genre by any stretch.

This is already happening.

They are paying people bottom market rates to generate unique written content and people are just having AI write it for them.

The vouch needed isn’t that it works. It’s how they handle your data.

Why would they need that? They can perfectly map out your house and your position in it using your wifi.
