  • Doesn’t matter how similar it looks though.

    The only way to tell is to open up both models and look at individual points of the 3d mesh. If their positions in 3d space match up to, say the hundred-thousandth of a decimal, then it is a copy.

    But if the model was scaled or rotated or whatever, there would be no way to prove a case because there wouldn’t be a match.

    The same thing was done to prove games was lying about copying models from previous games when they claimed that it was too difficult to add all previous monsters into different games because their converter tool was giving them issues.








  • If it is an industry problem, then this sort of event is usually what snowballs into actual change.

    The tip of this case, I believe, isn’t just the caffeine content, but the fact that it:

    • Wasn’t exactly labeled as a high-caf drink.
    • Was often next to, or in place of, non-caf drinks.
    • Was marketed as part of an unlimited drinks program.

    While the company isn’t required to cater to individuals with very specific tolerances of the simulant, they likely had data available to them that suggests that this outcome was always a possibility, yet they supposedly ran the product until people died.



  • I made the same switch earlier this year. The only real issues I can recall were learning to update flatpak manually because it holds up the other updates if I don’t do that through the Konsole first.

    Granted, that might just be my system, but I generally have had far fewer issues with Tumbleweed than I’ve ever had with Mint.

    Oh, and my art tablet gets tagged as a game controller for some reason, but it works for what I need it for so I haven’t bothered to fix it.
