If I learned anything from past 3 MSI laptops,
they provide good hardware for the price.

However, wrapped in shit build quality!

Each of them started to break down within a year of use..

Would not recommend anything from MSI again,
except for loose desktop components.

I have the same experience, good hardware for the price, good specs laptop, but plastic fall apart within a year.

Also the customer service is horrible

So, worse performance, more battery drain, windows, and same to higher price? Why would anyone buy this?

What does your link have to do with this topic?

I guess he’s trying to put a license on his comment, as if scrapers care.

[–] RvTV95XBeo@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They appear to be licensing all of their comments individually.

Well... That's not narcissistic at all.

It's presumably to give you legal ground to sue if some corporation scrapes Lemmy content and uses it to train AI, or whatever other commercial purpose.

Hopefully if enough people do it they would consider the dataset too risky to use. They could try and parse out comments that have that license statement but if any get missed somehow they open themselves up to lawsuits.

That would force them to instead pay for content from somewhere that has a EULA forcing the users to hand over copyright regardless of what they put in their posts (i.e. Reddit).

No one else is going to paste that at the end of every comment they make. That's ridiculous.

[–] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've seen several people do it already. Maybe not enough to scare off data harvesters, especially when they copy paste so precisely, but it's not a bad idea and not difficult to do. Perhaps claiming copyright in your about page would be enough?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Not one scraper is going to get scared off because of that link lol

[–] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 2 points 2 years ago

IANAL but I really doubt it would make a difference to have that on every comment, on a profile, etc.

[–] jkrtn@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

They already use commercial copyright text. The courts need to figure out if they think it is fair use or not. If it is, their copyright notice is useless. If it isn't, their copyright notice is redundant.

I feel the need to stress I'd never buy one with Windows.

No trackpad again.
