  • Not sure why youre getting downvoted, you are right. If you got access to knowledge via your job that has nothing to do with your job and use that knowledge, youre fucked.
    For example, you work in a team that makes a ecommerce website, and have access to the wms team’s files. In those files you read about barcodes and their rules/parsing specs, some of those files are only to be read under a contract. Making anything related to the barcodes, even in your own time and equipment, is a nono.

    Trust me, ive been in the grey zone and have contacted lawyers about it.



  • Sure, but the wii’s coprocessor’s os was also unix/bsd based and that was nowhere near pc hardware. Actually, a few embedded devices (cheap routers, cheap toys,… ) use bsd (while they should run linux hehe) and are nowhere near pc architecture :p.

    What makes a pc a pc is the actual hardware layout, hardware connections internally and how it boots. Im looking deep into ps4 and i can see why people call it a pc, but its a huge misnomer. If a ps4 is a pc, a raspberry pi( or any random sbc ) is also a pc because it has a usb or sata controller, cpu and pci bus while it has no pch/fch, no pc bios (which i can accept to not be relevant) or any of the pc hardware you cant think off ( spoiler, its a lot more ).

    Hell, pc’s dont even have a southbridge anymore. We have the pch which is directly connected to the cpu over a bus that is nowhere near the old northbridge/southbridge design…

    Huh, interesting. Im autistic myself and whenever i try to imagine a situation or place i kinda generate a world or scene in my head and apply what i know, or try to think of what could happen in that situation. In my day job this helps a lot to detect problems or make designs for things.

    But i have never stood still to think that what you linked is what i might have, and is like a mature, overpowered version of what kids have. Thats flipping interresting

    Not op that you replied to, but i find it funny to read your comments. I distinctly remember as a kid that i was playing with lego and i then realised that things like “justice” and “evil” are just in the eye of the beholder.
    The good guy wanted to “protect his people and slay evil” (very hero-ist of the king lol) while the bad guy wanted to “have justice for being exiled and have better living conditions”. I realised they were both, essentially, the same thing. Both involved evil acts ( killing and fighting ).

    So reading this chain of comments reminded me of that memory, and how true it is, at its core.
    When we add factors like humans and power things gets vastly more complicated, but the core is the same.
    Just like how current AI at its core, is interesting and super cool, but its been twisted and turned into something terrible because of humans, power and money
