I don't feel it is. They aren't saying that their physical requirements should be free (computers, engineers, programmers, electricity, etc...) which is what is being used for the analogy (cheese, ingredients, etc...).

It would be better to claim "I run a sandwich shop and couldn't afford to run it if I had to pay for every recipe, idea, and technique I use in the business."

Now, it's not as simple as this, and I'm not claiming it is. But this example isn't anywhere near correct. It's like the old claim that pirating something is the same as stealing it. The usage on one thing doesn't equal the loss of something physical.

It's one of those reasons why laws about this are difficult. Too strict and no one would be able to do "fan"-anything and many other issues ("if it uses AI" takes out many digital tools, etc...), too loose and you don't really have laws at all.

Stopped reading right there. Whenever you are issued a device, you should immediately assume it's being monitored by the owner of the device. This goes for school/job/etc. The owner of the device will always be monitoring it for reasons of making sure you are using the device for intended purpose to making sure you aren't using it for illegal purposes.

I'm sorry I proved you wrong to the point you had to resolve yourself to personal attacks. Do you feel better now?

Really?... Wow, not only did you copy pasta one of the oldest trolls online but you can't understand how illogical the troll is. And you want to accuse me of being a child?

Your comment was disproved here.... In 2018. And it wasn't a new idea then either.

Your comment? I'm pretty sure yeah it was, and a really old one

So what you're saying is the biggest companies like Amazon, Google, ChatGPT, etc... can't perfect voice dictation when I'm talking directly and clearly to my device, but this company has been able to figure it out. And doing it while hiding from the smartphone OS that it's doing it. While the device is at a distance/hidden in my pocket. And is using it just to sell ads.

I meant a call 15 minutes before there were there.

Reminds me of my Telus internet.

"A technician will come to fix your internet problem Tuesday and they will be there sometime between 8am to 5pm. They will give you a 15 minute call before they arrive. If there is no one home when they come by, you will be given a $150 no show fee."

Doubt the top down GTA game would ever be made again. Last one was GTA Chinatown Wars and it sold terribly. Started on DS, and was ported to PSP, and now on iOS and Android.

With how you have been commenting here, I'm not surprised that what you read...

The original Rec and Rec 2 are great, the third movie was terrible and the Hollywood remake of the first Rec is a disaster.

That would be the implied answer in the meme and the first post.
