When has the American remake been better than the original?
I think "better" might be the wrong question.
*When has the American not been redundant when compared with the original?" Might be more appropriate.
As a Aussie I appreciated the original productions of Wilfred and Review as the surrealist masterpieces they are. That said the US remakes told their own stories. Saying one is better than the other ignores the fact they both have value and are doing their own thing.
I am aware of classifications and content descriptions. I'm not in US so the ESRB are not directly relevant but my local body does something similar.
I find the actual classifications to be a bit conservative so treat them all as advisory and make my own decisions. For example my son beat these (on easy) at four years old, I don't think we would have enjoyed them as much if we waited until fifteen:
On the other end of the scale I can use these descriptions to see that while Saints Row (2022) is tamer than GTA5 it is still going to have content thats a bit rough for an eight year old:
I tend to just use the betas for a quick smoke test to check my project still builds.
The RCs are generally stable enough to use as a daily driver. And if for some reason its not then now's the time to find those bugs before the release.
If you call yourself the Burger King in your kitchen, there's no trademark infringement there. However, if you start selling you food and calling yourself the Burger King, then that is a trademark violation. If you want to write Twilight fan fiction using the characters and story lines from the books, you're free to do so. There is no copyright violation. However, if you want to profit from your expansions to another author's work, you have to rename the characters and setting and call it "Fifty shades of grey".
I believe in must jurisdictions its the distribution that makes it an issue not the selling. If you started handing out your "Burger King" burgers in a public place I would expect to be shut down.
For example Cadbury has a trademark protecting its purple (defined as pantone 2685C) from competitors in the chocolate industry. On the other hand Whiskas has one protecting its purple (defined as CMYK {40% C, 100% M) from competitors in the cat food industry.
Because its trademark law both only cover their specific industries (so purple would be fair game for a business in another field), but despite the precise definitions used for the colours they would be able to argue that a competitor using a similar purple could cause confusion in consumers, (so they effectively block out an area of the color spectrum).
Also don't rely on their screening. I believe the test a performed on bundles of donations for efficiency and a bad donation may cause the others in that bundle to be discarded too.
A direct boycott of Amazon and its subsidiaries? Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
But boycotting services that happen to use Amazon? Impossible!
Any business may use products ordered from there. Your local toll gate may use AWS. Unless you are a major client nobody is going to let you audit their supply contracts.
My family's IBM compatible had 5¼" double sided double density disks that held 360KB.
But there was a lot of variations between platforms:

Not a distinction that I ever heard, and I lived thought the 5.25" and 3.5" eras.

The self cleaning public toilets in my city always play an instrumental version of What the World Needs Now Is Love.
It feels like it must be an inside joke of some kind. The song, without its singer or lyrics, is relatively unremarkable.
Copyright holders can issue a public license, its a unilateral document that states what people can and can't do with their work.
Its the core mechanism of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) where the offer is usually an open invitation to anyone who accepts the conditions.
But the same mechanism could be employed but only granting rights to a specific person.
Like ripping off a band aid.
It will hurt for a while and be old news by the end of July.

I feel like I'm out of the loop.
Have they made a hard announcement that they will not have another home console generation or is that just inferred from their public strategy?

Parental controls are another question but I use then for time limits on his tablet and content restrictions on consoles and streaming services.
The way I have parental controls set up he has access to everything M or lower but MA15+ or higher requires a conversation.
They help inform my decisions but at the end of the day we are making our own choices within our household.
🎉
They put a lot of care into that announcement page and showing the major features visually. Great job!
Around 8 times a year.
I take my son to the barber and we have a haircut together.
If it was just myself I wouldn't notice when my hair was long but I can see it on him so I know when its time.
Great to see!

Nice!
They good!

Its Trademark Law in Australia.
For example Cadbury has a trademark protecting its purple (defined as pantone 2685C) from competitors in the chocolate industry. On the other hand Whiskas has one protecting its purple (defined as CMYK {40% C, 100% M) from competitors in the cat food industry.

I believe its production budget was pegged at between $250m and $350m.
So this particular item in the marketing budget is less than 1% of the development costs.
I don't think the maths checks out
If in doubt I recommend looking at either Wikipedia or github for canonical links.
Revanced isn't big enough for a Wikipedia page but there github profile links to the official pages:

Ask them if unsure but my guess is they mean conditions like Haemophilia.
