I guess it's a matter of whether you own your hardware (and included software) or just own the hardware and a license to use the software that comes with it in a certain way.

Yuzu is open source isn’t it?

Nintendo can’t be completely incompetent here; if they get Yuzu shut down someone will inevitably fork it, and they have to know this.

Presumably this is a play to try and establish precedent. They know that this lawsuit means nothing in itself, even if they win, but it can then be used to go after Retroarch or Higan or Mupen64 or Dolphin. This is bad.

I honestly cannot wrap my head around the need for an LLC. It's an open source project, why would you need a company?

Why do you need an LLC to run an emulator project?

I like what I see but my 4 year old LG V30 still ticks all the boxes (speedy, 3.5mm, microSD and a whole lot more).

I hope I dont have to get a new phone anytime soon.

How did you validate the AnExplorer idea? What is it that makes this app unique among all the alternatives that exist? Thanks and congrats

All TV's are dumb tv's if you only use them as an external display/monitor and don't connect them to the net. I have a dedicated computer for a media center and just use HDMI1 input on the TV. Never enter menus. Never update the OS. Never agree to anything. Never let the TV "phone home." Never set up wifi. Never connect a CAT5 to it. Set the input using the remote and forget it. Treat it as a dumb monitor. Computer is connected to the net, TV is not and has no way to access it.

How can you access "Press the Red button" content on a dumb TV though? Is there a software client that can access the content over http?

edit: I believe it's called HbbTV
