minus-squarephorq@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 days agoWhy do they need a patent for this? How would this not conflict with just tv remotes? Like it’s not a bad feature, but blocking anyone else from having a rewind button without paying them seems like an overstep for such a basic addition.

minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·11 days ago Why do they need a patent for this? Because if they did it without one, anyone could do it. If they get the patent, even if they don’t do it, anyone who does have to pay them. How would this not conflict with just tv remotes? Video games and TVs are different enough devices
