This is true. Above is my initial reaction and I’ll leave it to show what it looks like when you get more info and reassess. Not so sure I trust the company, but I do appreciate the openness about them not getting the license.
There’s a part of me that thinks they’re hoping their fans lean on steam, but steam is so much bigger, and both of them behaving reasonably at this juncture isn’t likely to get a witch hunt started.

i won’t fault valve’s IP infringement team for missing one infringing product in a sea of i’m not bothering to estimate infringing products
it’s the fact that it’s a companion cube [valve™] for a valve [valve™] video game [valve™] console [valve™] being made by notvalve™. if it was just a t-shirt on redbubble they could probably fly under the radar, but this is too close to confusing the consumer. like, how many people here automatically assumed they had valve’s permission? which would imply some sort of partnership with valve, just by making the faceplates?
ideally that’s the kind of confusion IP law is supposed to prevent. how it’s used vs how it was intended is another can of worms (and idealism versus pragmatism is a fun argument don’t get me wrong) but we can pretend for a little bit.

tank you for spelling it rite
- Comment on dBrand Companion Cube cancelled: 1 week ago:
Yeah. This is the kind of response (as far as i can tell: open, honest) that makes me want to buy something from that company in the future. Like, you legitimately can’t buy this kind of public relations. It sucks for the business, but doing the right thing by your customers gets you repeat customers. You can’t get brand loyalty through a commercial.

Yeah I was thinking of just grabbing a steam machine for my next box instead of a framework or something. If this pricing isn’t stable for the next, idk, decade? Probably not.

I play music and grow some mean artichokes. Like they have thorns and everything they’re delicious. Willing to trade sass for butter

Yeah, we saved for a week, maybe two I don’t remember. I finally saved enough money and my wife bought it as a birthday present for me last year how long was that since release? A couple weeks right. Doesn’t really matter, my friendly local public library has enough cool shit in it to do that I wasn’t wanting for fun. Unless there’s something specific that’s ps5 exclusive you want to play, just get a ps4 and a library card. It kind of feels like blockbuster.

Nice accuracy and precision on those estimates dude. It’s hard to get that shit right
- Comment on San Francisco police suspend Flock camera network access following 'improper queries' 3 weeks ago:
i mean i’ve personally seen sheriffs look up people who were dating family members (on publicly available databases like pacer. the same databases you and i have access to that they knew about since they are law enforcement, but odds are you have never heard about. i’m in there dozens of times as an expert witness, two or three times as a plaintiff, and once as a defendant in a speeding ticket. you’re talking to a real criminal now) because they (correctly) assumed the niece was dating a gang member. i mean i was part of a roving gang of violent minstrels when i was younger and apparently my wife’s family has a type. this dude played guitar and sold reeds out back the music shop. total bad influence. miss him.

Thank you. I’ve been grinding ni no kuni 2 on the ps5 instead of trying to play whatever I was trying to play on cemu. It was one of the Zeldas.

Yup, my work software is not on Linux for some stupid reason. None of the specialized software I would need were I to go back into my old profession is on Linux. I even emailed the manufacturers of the 2 big reliable software packages and they just said they had no plans to develop it anytime soon abs the dude I was talking with did not know WINE. That’s the extent of my Linux knowledge tho so…

so the second best burger joint i’ve ever been to, they did not care that much about friendliness (which of course made them and everyone very courteous. different thing, also very important) because they used to be called murder burger until some white lady from the suburbs got her knickers in a twist.

That was musks business ethos applied to medicine. The dbs system I’m familiar with did not have heaps of dead monkeys.

So it’s a valve chip or a medtronic one or who? What’s the distinct company making these, dbs is one of my interests
