  • If it’s room sized and sold to other companies it will rapidly be in multiple countries.

    There wouldn’t be any way to keep it to one company with it being public knowledge.

    Like realistically I’d think any country would ignore whatever laws on the books and just outright sieze the tech as a matter of national security and duplicate it for their own use if they found out a company was hiding such a thing.

    From there it’d again leak to all other major countries in short order.

    If it’s small and easy to duplicate, (can it replicate itself?) It would spread like wildfire and would like piracy be completely uncontainable.

    I don’t think there is anyway the tech could be either contained or kept secret any real length of time.



  • I don’t remember that bit but I think I only watched the first season of the Orville and that was years ago.

    But yeah really depends on how difficult the equipment itself is to replicate.

    If it’s some massive machine the size of a room it’s going to make some company extremely rich, they’d sell product for slightly less than normal market value taking over the market with perfectly consistent product and insane margins allowing legal capture.

    Why feed everyone when you can almost literally print money?

    If it’s something small that can be easily transported and duplicated? Piracy. Nobody will give AF about patents and everyone will have them within a couple years no matter what laws they try to implement or how they try and prevent it.

    This has actually already happened with media and this is exactly how it has played out and a lot of people still seem to be in denial.

    They can complain and sick lawyers on as many people as they want but they can still make a million copies of something that cost 400 million to make for less than than the cost of a gumball.

    The law surrounding it is completely broken and it’s crazy that so many industries are trying to continue on like nothing has changed.

    Hey covid will still kill you even if you call it a hoax.
    Rep: you God damn liberals are ruining this county Several family members die
    Rep: they died of pneumonia not covid covid is a hoax and a Chinese bioweapon.

    Like I can’t tell that they actually give a fuck about reality anymore even when they can directly see it killing them they still deny it.




  • Glow in the dark tape on the front and back of my phone and on the tips of the chargers to make them easier to find in the dark.

    For the same reason my phone case is the brightest colored one I could find.

    I had to get some clear heat shrink tubing to put over the charging cable ends to hold the tape in place otherwise it unravels after a few days use.

    Sure they make lit USB cables but not in 20ft+

    I’d really have preferred to have a bright solid glow in the dark phone case but for whatever reason barring I have one 3d printed (which will then not have the same protection of a normal cheap rubberized case) there isn’t anything like that available.


  • Lead poisoning, it used to be popular for plates and cups cuz it made the food taste better (because the lead leached in and lead has a sweet taste), then later indoor plumbing (sometimes with lead pipes) became common like a decade prior to the founding of the Republican party in the 1850s. We didn’t get leaded gas until the 1920s

    Anyone considered getting rid of leaded avgas yet?

    Or testing food for lead more stringently?

    Like they had children suffering from lead toxicity recently from contaminated applesauce packages and it takes a fuckton of lead to cause toxicity.
