History remembers the inventor with the patent, the money and the institution behind them—not always the person who got there first.

From Edison and RCA to Colossus, Margaret Knight and the Invention Secrecy Act, this is how genius gets captured, commercialised and rewritten.

🎉 Ultimul brevet pentru MPEG-4 Part 2 a expirat! DivX și Xvid sunt acum complet libere la nivel mondial

O eră importantă din istoria codecurilor video se încheie oficial: ultimul brevet care proteja standardul MPEG-4 Part 2 (cunoscut pentru formatele populare DivX și Xvid din anii 2000) a expirat.

💡 Ce înseamnă acest lucru?

🔓 Fără redevențe sau licențiere:
Producătorii de hardware, dezvoltatorii de aplicații comerciale, proiectele multimedia și distribuțiile Linux pot include acum suport nativ de codare/decodare MPEG-4 Part 2 fără teama de taxe sau procese legate de brevete.

🐧 Ideal pentru distribuțiile Linux:
Distribuțiile cu politici extrem de stricte privind software-ul brevetat vor putea include suport de bază pentru aceste formate fără a mai necesita repozitoare terțe.

🔍 Clarificare importantă:
• Expirarea se aplică MPEG-4 Part 2 (fisierele vechi .avi, DivX, Xvid).
• NU se aplică formatului H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) sau altor tehnologii moderne utilizate în fișierele .mp4 actuale, care sunt încă protejate de brevete active.

Pentru utilizatorul obișnuit (care folosește deja player-e precum VLC sau FFmpeg) nimic nu se schimbă peste noapte, însă este o victorie uriașă pentru distribuția de software liber și arhivarea digitală! 🎬

104 year old Eddy Goldfarb has invented over 800 iconic toys- some of my favorites, too. He made Stompers, which were HUGE for me as a kid (I still have several). He also made talking teeth, Kerplunk, just TONS of stuff.

CW: Cost at $78. Price at $80,000

Unlike many other drugs that treat viruses, Sovaldi does not suppress hepatitis C, a virus that kills roughly 250,000 people around the world each year. It cures it.

“Normally you have a virus, and your body fights it off or your body fights it to a standstill and you just have it forever, basically, and hope it remains dormant more or less,” Laufer said. “The holy grail for every virologist is to find a way to drain the viral reservoir, and Sovaldi does this. You take one pill of Sovaldi a day for 12 weeks and then you don’t have hepatitis C anymore.”

The problem is that those pills are under patent, and they cost $1,000 per pill.

“Literally, if you have $84,000 then hepatitis C is not your problem anymore,” Laufer said. “But given that there are other methodologies for managing hepatitis C that are not curing it and that are cheaper, insurance typically will not cover [Sovaldi]. And so we’ve got this incredible technology and it’s sitting on the shelf except for people who are ridiculously wealthy.”

So Four Thieves Vinegar Collective set out to teach people how to make their own version of Sovaldi. Chemists at the collective thought the DIY version would cost about $300 for the entire course of medication, or about $3.57 per pill. But they were wrong.

“It’s actually just a little under $70 (83 cents per pill), which just kind of blew my mind when they finally showed me the results,” Laufer said. “I was like, can we do the math here again?”

Lilbits: A glimpse of the canceled Surface Duo 3

Microsoft has pretty much stopped making smartphones. Again. But before the company discontinued its Surface Duo line of dual-screen phones, Microsoft had allegedly begun work on a “Surface Duo 3” that would have had a foldable display rather than two separate screens.
While that’s hardly a revolutionary idea these days, it would […]
