The first video game was the precursor to Pong, called Tennis for Two. It was created on an oscilloscope in Brookhaven National Laboratory. Had they thought to patent it, the US government would’ve held ownership of all video games.

Technology@lemmy.ml•UK Orders Apple To Break Encryption Worldwide While World Is Distracted
7·10 months agoThere’s a big difference between providing persistent access that allows for real-time surveillance and willingness to turn over stored user data when presented with a legal warrant. If they were truly equal, there would be no reason for governments to relentlessly press Apple’s E2EE standards.

19·1 year agoYou’d be surprised. Good quality compact DACs are very expensive unless the manufacturer engineers a better version.

2·1 year agoChattel slavery is different than indentured servitude. There is no ownership of the indentured servant, but they are forced to work against their will. This is the slavery found in Xinjiang, as well as the US penal system.

Graphics mode for single player PvE, Performance Mode for that 120 Hz refresh rate in PvP.

Exactly. It took until September for the democrats to have majority. They started pushing for it in October. Republican Brendan Carr went to great lengths to oppose the restoration, slowing progress for six months.

Technology@lemmy.ml•The corporate boot licking of Google after firing the palestine protestors in insane
12·2 years agoBy “on the clock” I mean during compensated scheduled working hours. It does not matter if you are an hourly or salaried employee. They were removed and charged with trespassing after multiple warnings from security, and warned in advance of the policy violation of the protest according to this employee interview.
You are protected by law if protesting working conditions or compensation during scheduled working hours. If you protesting anything else, it can be done during free time in a public space without employer retaliation.
I have been part of many protests, and am in complete support of them. The most important thing when organizing a protest is knowing your rights so you can keep the law on your side.

Technology@lemmy.ml•The corporate boot licking of Google after firing the palestine protestors in insane
12·2 years agoYour last sentence is correct. A strike against workplace conditions or compensation is protected. This was neither. Refusal to work while on the clock is grounds for termination as well as disqualification for unemployment benefits. There needs to be acknowledgment by the employee that they are refusing to work, and that the result of continued action would be grounds for termination. It does not need to continue for nine hours, and is a different termination reason than job abandonment.
I’m 100% behind protesting, but you need to know how to keep the law on your side.

75·2 years agoThanks. Interesting read. The employee stated that they were warned several times about pending arrest and violation of workplace behavior. I respect their commitment to their cause, but it was under full understanding that they were arrested and subsequently terminated.
