Honestly long overdue, RAM manufacturers showed their hand as a cartel last year
Wasn’t it the other way around? IIRC they both got played by OpenAI because they didn’t know there was another deal going down at the same time.
(Not saying they didn’t massively profit from the situation in the end)
Yeah I think it’s like “this guy that we suspect of being a drug dealer uses grapheneOS, which proves that he’s a drug dealer”.
what does the new shiny android version has that is worth it?
oems that have shit QA
That’s it in a nutshell. Recent Android versions added really nice features and APIs that app devs won’t bother implementing for a while, because even for the small percentage of users running recent Android versions, OEMs always find clever ways to fuck up their implementation of said APIs.
IIRC It was newsmaxx or some other propaganda outlet.
I’ve seen one today: “Mamdani admits massive NYC deficit! Proof socialism doesn’t work!”. Dude, he wasn’t mayor a month ago, pretty sure socialism isn’t the problem here…
Exactly. Mamdani came prepared, and Trump was caught off guard by how nice and eloquent the dangerous communist was.
What kind of game is it? Is it like Minecraft/roblox as the screenshot suggests?
Many people love AI, I have a lot of acquaintances who actively seek out the best “AI browser” whatever that means. It makes sense for mozilla not to fall out this bandwagon just yet.
Most geeks were running 2000. Windows was easy to pirate at the time, you just needed a valid key, no online checks or anything.
I bought Dredge and finished it, it was really nice. But yeah I had to look for it after reading some nice reviews, the play store is a dumpster fire when it comes to discovery.
I want to pay up to 10€ for a complete game. I don’t want these “free” games where half the screen is littered with timers, microtransactions and a billion different currencies. I tried Underdark as I’ve seen it recommended multiple times, the gameplay is OK I guess but seriously, look at this shit:
Each red dot opens a popup where you collect a miserable amount of currency. There are usually tabs and scrolling lists in the pop-up, you need to spend 5 minutes just to collect them all while avoiding the ad-supported ones because there’s no way to come back to the game once the ad is opened.
$31 for a weekly box?? Who the fuck pays for those??
Even if the app is relatively simple and feature-complete, you need to go back to it at least once a year to make sure it complies with the latest guidelines/restrictions, replace deprecated APIs, and check dependencies for security issues.
Simple enough for a calculator, but if the app needs to do stuff in the background, communicate with web services, play multimedia content, or use the camera, it can become very time consuming.
It may make sense on Macs where users accept making a $10 or $20 one-time payment, but very few mobile users accept paying for apps at all, let alone $5 or $10. In that case, you need a lot of buyers or you’ll end up maintaining it out of pocket.
Yeah, you can’t expect devs to actively work on an app indefinitely just because you gave them a few bucks that one time. It makes no sense financially if the app isn’t exceptionally successful.
100dB high-pitched guitars, relentless double bass and shrieking vocals at a black metal show: total bliss.
My kids when they yell out of excitement: unbearable.
From time to time I’ll still look at their steam page during sales, because I’d like to play a blockbuster single player FPS where I can mindlessly mow down bad guys, with good story and production value.
But the price point and reviews always turn me off… Do you have a good alternative to recommend?
It’s literally impossible to use the internet (or even computers?) without patronizing American companies, at least indirectly.
Yeah, the issue is not “Microsoft’s usage of the XML format”. The issue is that they blatantly bought their format’s standardization, and then intentionally released an implementation that substantially deviated from the specs, making sure that MSO was the only “compatible” implementation.
First one is an AA game I guess. Better production value than an indie title, but far from Skyrim or GTA.
Yes, but everything above it (including drivers) is custom-made and tightly controlled by Google.
My tech-illiterate mom uses my Jellyfin instance with no issues. I sent her a link to the app store, her credentials, my server’s hostname and that was it. And once it’s set up, Jellyfin is much more straightforward to use than Plex.
Sure Jellyfin has issues and doesn’t support as many types of devices, but Plex is far from perfect. I use it like twice a year, and the UI gets more and more confusing with each update IMO.
Well yeah it means WSL installs grow faster than full installs.
