A couple months ago a story came out of a court case that they would happily keep running ads that were identified as scams; they would just increase the advertising costs for the accounts running those ads. The more reports, the higher the price until they reach a limit to ban them. Basically if their users are getting scammed, they want a bigger cut.

It’s interesting considering how the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety really highlights what is more important for them to reduce in a collision. Modern cars might sustain much more damage and be more likely to get written off as a total loss, but that will probably cost them $30-40k at the high end in most wrecks. But if a person gets seriously injured the insurance company could very quickly be on the hook for the full $100-300k in medical bills most people get coverage for.

Featured comment on the first video pretty directly answers the question from @OP @Patnou@lemmy.world :

As a Firefighter I was called to an accident which turned out to be a head on collision between 60’s model Chrysler and a 2000 model Subaru. The Chrysler looked to have held up pretty good but the driver was taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. The Subaru was totalled back to the windscreen yet the mother and daughter in the car walked away without a scratch.

Theft of her revenue. I don’t know that she could get it to a criminal level but civil probably.

EDIT: and not suing Google but Vidya and Timeless Sounds IR

It’s impossible to miss something that large

This feels like the kind of slam dunk legal case some law firm would be happy to take on contingency. People will keep doing this if there are no consequences.

I think we got one of those later. The first one they got was a monster of 1980s technology. It looks more like a news camera than anything for consumer use (although maybe not to actual news people).

You couldn’t record to laserdisc, right? My parents had a VHS camcorder with a selling point that it could also be used as a VCR (the recorder hung from a shoulder bag and could be separately connected to the TV). We have a lot of old home videos from that, and I remember us recording programs from the TV too.

There doesn’t seem to be much activity around pinball on Lemmy. Maybe you could post this to !Pinball@lemmy.lqx.net or !pinball@lemmy.world ?

I’m not well-versed in stereotypes for many European countries; which is which?

So he thought it was a lawn show?

We talking, like, O Brother, Where Art Thou? being based on Homer’s Odyssey?

It usually doesn’t need to be perfect, good enough is often good enough and can be a lot faster where trying for perfection might not get finished in time.

Years after the fact I could make the lead developer’s eye twitch just by mentioning the guy who was supposed to maintain the backups but we discovered after the fire that he actually hadn’t been doing it. That guy was fired, but it didn’t bring back the lost code.

It’s probably been even longer since I used mine, which is a shame because it is fun; I just don’t have a good space for the more active games right now, or even Walkabout Mini Golf
