  • Yeah, the “let no one else use it” portion of my comment is what i meant when you say “patent owners are generally more than happy to license their tech”

    I hope ford doesn’t.

    And yes while patents dont grant exclusivity it gives a company the option to try and argue that a competitors version isnt novel enough. In the USA, where ford is from, patent law screwery is abounds if you have enough money. Of which Ford is backed by the US government.

    Im not here to point out whether or not the patent is the issue. The problem is the spying and selling of personal data. If ford proceeds in a way that limits that exposure to the rest of car manufacturers then fantastic, even if its only in a nominal way.

    I do still appreciate your refresher on how patents work though! Hope the rest of your day goes well.

    Correct, but thats not really a solution as i would still need to emulate a windows OS to play the games i want.

    That said, linux has come a far way in that regard. Hopefully just another few years.

    Windows becoming more of a service/subscription will hopefully speed that process up as people abandon ship.



  • The center is not blue, the furniture is. There is very-much-so a yellow seethrough pattern around the outside of the image.

    While my personal view of the world has my nose a lot further down and not nearly as in the way, its probably because of my genetics and face makeup.

    If this image is truly to-shape and not just a picture to describe the concept, this persons nose is relatively forward compared to the tip of their eye and the upper ridge of their lip would be pronounced enoughto block vision.

    Assumedly though, this image isnt a real trace of someones vision.
