I didn’t care much for the logo change as it’s not really a big deal. What got me to cancel was them adding ANOTHER tier for 4K and then said “no we didn’t have any fee hikes” yet they removed it from the existing plan.

Basically the moral of the story is that Spotify should have followed in their footsteps and become their own record company.

So no more MFI badges on accessories?

I have the Rog Ally and I love it but there are some issues with this. I’m digging how this looks and the detachable controllers are really dope. I might just return mine and wait for this. Windows really needs to find a big picture mode to work. At least the Xbox App.

Like seeing the competition. I got the Rog Ally right now and loving it. Not sure I would want the joy cons type form factor though that might make portability easier.

Honestly there wasn’t much of a case to begin tbh. Even the CMA’s best resort was going to cloud and that turned out also to be BS as well.

I appreciate Lina Khan at least trying even if it feels like a huge uphill battle . For example the Microsoft case; even though she lost, her stance on any large acquisition has ensured some concessions are made even before it goes to trial such as the COD and Cloud agreements.

Microsoft just keeps killing off Cortanas don’t they?

Explained way better than I hahah. Comparatively, developers of his caliber should be making $200k a year salary (though the market has cooled recently).

I guess best way to put it is imagine Sync Reddit had 10,000 subscribers with each paying $10 lifetime. You’re netting $100,000 for those signups.

Now the dev time hasn’t changed (in fact I’d say it actually increased as he has to research and test with a brand new API), and now his potential subscribers have decreased dramatically. To accommodate for that you need to charge a lot more as the developer is expecting only ~1000 subscribers.

Honestly that’s fair. There’s way less of a subscriber base here, development time is expensive, and you need to foresee circumstances for the future (look how many people Apollo dev had to refund). Sync is also such a great app, I’m personally just using the ad version at the moment on my android phone (and this is from Memmy on iOS). Sync is still one of the best apps I’ve ever used and keep an android phone just for it.

I wonder if they’ll crackdown on the old titles as well. With the acquisition all but locked , I feel MS will try to promote a lot of the older titles on GamePass which will definitely experience a massive boost in popularity.

Twitter renaming to X is definitely something high on tech news. Would love to have a run where similar headlines are removed.

Excited for ThreadX

They do have React as open source and free to use as well. Small things I’ll appreciate about evil Meta .

It’s sad how in an era where name recognition means everything, they removed Hangouts when it was a widely known, positive brand. Made me really question their product/marketing team lol

Remember Allo ? What a disaster that was. Duo was actually not that bad but they already had Hangouts which did both

Aww man Hangouts. What should’ve been their default messaging app.
