So what happened this week that this whole palaver pushed out of the news cycle?

Do you confuse the President with your husband?!?

Fwiw, CPUs/GPUs use 128bit wide buses (eg 4060, I think) and wider. So you’re kinda there already.

64-bit here refers to the size of the general purpose registers; but wider (larger) registers are common too in chips that are still referred to as x86_64.

What I don’t get is people will say “pizza is too hard, i’m going back to Lasagne [to get my fix of tomato]” but they don’t make their own Lasagne, they get it delivered (analogy is breaking down at this point).

So, they should just ask their delivery guy (computer installer) to get the sauce and put it on their pizza (computer), or they should buy a pizza (computer with linux on) just like they bought the lasagne (computer with Windows OS on).

WSL, you install it from the Windows Store.

Debian, for example, https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9msvkqc78pk6 .

Just so you know, they didn’t provide a straw man argument (which is necessarily a weakened position[hence straw]), they provided a statement of fact. Source: degree study in logic and philosophy.

You could respond that you found the fact irrelevant, but it seemed apposite and insightful to me.

I knew pedantic idiots like you would conflate the word “generic” with with the legal term “generic trademark.”

You mean people who know trade mark law would challenge your incorrect use of generic. There’s no such thing as a “generic trademark”, fwiw, though I realise you’re unwilling to learn.

I can’t open a shop at the State Fair and trademark “turkey legs” because I’m selling shoes that look like turkey feet

Yh, you’ve still got it wrong. You 100% can do this, because a trade mark applies in a trading category (except for ‘famous’ marks). So Apple Music can have a trade mark of “Apple” for selling goods in the music category (famously infringed by Apple Computers), etc., but cannot have a trade mark for selling things with the mark Apple that covers fruit sales, say; because “Apple” is not distinctive in that field of industry. Actually applications are in something called a Nice class (though AIUI there is a specific classification USPTO use that is narrower than the international Nice class).

There’s a close example to your “turkey leg” - for 6 years “ham hock” (ie pig leg) was a registered trade mark, https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-results/77579235. Why was it allowed? Well because it was for a board game, class 028, and so didn’t stop people from selling actual ham hocks.

I’m not 100% on trade marks in USA, but “confusion” in trade mark law usually has a specific test before the law that is not the same as merely requiring that consumers be confused. Like genericisation, confusion does not have its common meaning when discussing trade marks.

Well, he doesn’t have to be deposed, but then he doesn’t have to continue with a frivolous lawsuit intended to attempt to intimidate foreign press.

Lots of things he could do … stop committing war crimes, stop stealing from USA citizens by front-running stocks, stop breaching the former Constitution, stop voter interference, stop using his private militia to murder people, … you get the idea.

People with Steam decks, for example, would have access to EAC titles. I think it is worth it financially for Epic.

On June 26, 2026, Swedish left-wing newspaper Flamman reported that founder and co-owner of Mullvad Daniel Berntsson had made a five million Swedish krona (~$500,000 USD) personal donation to the populist Örebro Party. (Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullvad#Donation_to_the_Örebro_Party)

Said political party support far-right policies such as so-called “ethnic cleansing”.

Same vibe - searching for a solution on StackOverflow, best answer is one I wrote …

To be fair Dolphin’s defaults are insane, they seemed to have approached it as ‘how can we allow file/folder navigation but hide as much information as possible’. If you’re a minimalist you might like it, if you want to use a file manager to manage files I can’t really see how the defaults are useful.

Gwynedd tried to do over the English crown when they were already paying fealty, they quickly killed enough people across the rest of the Welsh counties to take control of most of them and set themselves against the English Crown, refusing to pay. So the English armies had to come and sort them. Gwynedd’s actions effectively subdued Wales … why anyone in the rest of Wales thinks this meant Wales was unified I’m not sure. Falling in behind the Northeners [of Wales], who it seems had Irish/Norse as their leaders, rather than falling in behind England when it was those North Walians that came around killing all our people … it’s weird to me.

Also, Welsh people ruled Britain (the Tudors), which is more than any English people {with long-established families from mainland Britain} have done since before the Norman Conquest. Again I don’t get how the Scots and the Welsh moan about the English when both of them had a good go of ruling Britain (since 1066) and no English people have.

Anyway, if you’re going to add this Welsh flag, which is really not old, why would you not first add the flags of Britons in the counties that were combined before the Normans took full control - Northumbria or Wessex or wherever. Mind you, you might still end up with a dragon/wyvern (viper).

You should drop him into Iran to face punishment from the Iranian families whose children he bombed at school.

Not only do you not know what makes a potential trade mark generic, but you don’t know what a straw man is either …

You’re sort of right about the names, but know of standing in this case has the given name “Demon Hunter”, it’s a band name.

Trade mark is a registered IP right, it doesn’t matter if you intended to infringe it, you can’t trade using someone else’s registered name (in the same field of commerce, and same geographic area).

Nintendo has a line of Demon Hunter games. D&D has a class Demon Hunter.

Fwiw, games and video games fall into difference Nice classes (commercial areas of application of trade marks). Without those things being international household names in and of themselves then it’s not relevant; unless you were saying that Nintendo or a D&D company had registered the trade marks for music already.

Basing your laws on the sex and colour of skin of the people you apply them too … I think there are names for that.

You keep saying it’s generic, but you clearly don’t understand the term as used with trade marks. Generic means it describes a product. So “Step up” couldn’t be used for a stair company as competitors couldn’t then describe “adding a step up to your front door”, or whatever, without risking infringement.

Genericisation then is when a trade mark becomes used descriptively - dumpster, is a classic example, another is jeep.

“Demon Hunters” would be generic if the business operation was hunting supernatural beasts and a judge determined that to be a real occupation … a singer/songwriter who called themselves “Solo Artist” would be generic.

There’s acquired distinctiveness too, which is why “pianoman” could be a trade mark (I’m not sure if it is, probably still not distinctive enough).

Stalin was having a bloody good try though.

The problem is that whilst the main issues we face are climate change and billionaires; it is still necessary to recognise that many immigrants have exploited their new host countries and we - in Western Europe at least - have been poor at weeding out the bad even when they’re not hiding.

If you look globally, then The West is well off, a just balance of wealth means that almost all of us will have to be poorer. Humans are typified by greed, it drives us. In order to avoid major conflict we need leaders who have morality as a guide, but we’re either too dumb or too greedy at a tribal level to rally behind these leaders.

The military enabled him by ignoring their oath to uphold the constitution and deploying against USA cities.

It’s a major problem, because you know the military support Trump instead of USA. Arguably USA died already.
