this. was it LG that shipped an update to their TVs that made it play ads and bricked the TV if you didn't agree?


it's not true anywhere in america, at the very least.


I agree that's likely true but I'm not sure if there are any jurisdictions finding things differently? I'm not aware of any rulings from appeals courts with broader jurisdiction but I imagine if they don't exist they will soon.


here's the thing about that: it's absolutely not true at all. once again, in the place where this ruling took place (and, therefore, the place we're talking about) the people who accuse you of a crime have to prove that it was definitely you that did it. an accusation doesn't put the burden of proof on you to prove that you didn't, or to find who actually did. this isn't a phoenix wright game, or an argument with your mom. if the state can't prove that it was you, then it wasn't.


> If it wasn't you driving, you know who.

I don't have to prove who was driving. I don't have to prove I wasn't the one driving. The state has to prove that I was the one driving.

>If someone shoots a person with your gun, you gonna say it wasn't you and expect them not to question any you further?

I don't expect them not to question me further and that's not what this is about. This is about whether your car running a red light is proof, in and of itself absent any other facts, that you ran a red light in your car.

>This is how it works in Poland

This is not how it works in the US

>I assume, most/all of EU and the rest of the world.

You assume incorrectly


they sincerely think that the primary problem they're facing is one of PR, don't they?


>claude build a plugin to do the above


you'd be amazed what you can believe when eating food and sleeping indoors depends on that belief


You may be surprised to hear that many people work to make a living and then just go home. Not every employee has to drink the kool aid to make a living.


I love that we're inventing jobs for computers to do automatically at great expense with no real value added. The "burning investor money for heat" phase of AI development is really bringing out the weirdo in everyone.
