The best outcome for this would be that Apple is forced to allow side loading and alternative stores. Then iOS is fully perfect for me.4 points -

I don't understand this. It wasn't as if Google HQ was making the games. They essentially set up a studio as you would describe it to make the games. Now they're shutting it down. Lots of big companies have divisions/subsidiaries that do the actual building. Nintendo and Sony are just as much "corporates" and function not all that differently. I didn't realize they were "bad at making games".4 points -

Boy I hear how iPhones are "overpriced junk". Until you're done dealing with copycat rubbish apps flooding GooglePlay, all filled with basically literal spyware, absurd OS fragmentation, terrible long term software support, weeks and months of waiting for updates because you have the wrong device internal version or live in the "wrong" region and while you're waiting, chances are vendor will suddenly announce the exact device you happen to have just got dropped and you're actually not getting anything. I was dealing with this trash since Android Eclair and like 2-3 years I had enough. Yeeeeah, but you can install any launcher and and and you can like install 40000 billion rubbish custom ROM's with zero support and bunch of stuff broken after you stop dicking around with stupid bootloaders and custom kernels for 40 hours... I ditched everything Google anyway at that point, only thing left was Android phone. I was an avid Apple hater and even said I'll never own anything Apple ever back in the day. Then I just dived into it and now I have an iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods 2. And my god the user experience is just sublime. Sure, it has it's stupidities just like Android, but they are all minor in comparison. People whine over "muh walled garden Apple ecosystem" nonesense and I'm almost laughing coz it's such a massive lie still being propagated to this day. I'm using iPhone. And basically nothing on it is Apple's service. I use everything 3rd party that's neither Google or Apple. One could argue Apple Watch is locked coz you can only use it with iPhone. Fair enough. But experience is amazing because of how tightly it's integrated with iPhone. And AirPods 2, coz I hate silicone in-ears, they were my first go to after I gave up checking 5000 cheap TWS AirPods clones with made up specs and ridiculous version numbers of TWS 80000 because bigger number is better. LOL. AirPods have excellent sound even for gaming and I exclusively use them on Windows systems. Apple stuff is actually pretty amazing once you stop hating it by default and you actually use it for a while. Then you start appreciating updates that you get the same moment they are announced. Something totally unheard on ANY Android device. This is very close to exactly my experience. Android was so terrible it got me to stop hating on Apple. That's... impressive. My iPhone is so, so much better than all of my android phones (all the best you could get for the time). I guess when you buy the product, and aren't the product, things are just better.3 points -

Oh wait, whoops. Seriously though, the biggest problem with Stadia is the locked purchase model. Developers can release for Stadia, it doesn't even take a special version or port, but don't expect too many exclusives or 'reasons' to pick Stadia. When Microsoft (and other like Amazon, etc) finally pulls the trigger on their cloud services with wider releases and more clients, it will be the make or break it moment for Stadia. If it survives and manages to start gaining support, it might survive. However, the other problem is Google's support, even if Stadia starts to do ok, it may not be enough for Google to keep it alive and instead dump resources into yet another direction.2 points -

Pikachu surprise. What Google did it? * Google purchased some small and irrelevant study with only a single game (Typhoon Studios - Journey to the Savage Planet 🤷♂️). And the game was not part of the deal. * Hired some white-collars with experience in the business. Some companies don't get that to create a videogame is not about who is the boss but about who is the team. Then, apparently in 2 years and over +100 employees (and 2 studios), they finished a couple of demos.2 points -

Twitter blocks Indian users from viewing several accounts at the request of the government
astropheed and one other reacted to 0sit0 for a topic
You don't like something, so brand it the "enemy". How very Trump-ish of you. Our side is not the one that bans everyone they disagree with. your "side" doesn't get a say anymore after trying insurrection. period. done. Because you can not accept the concept of side condemning their own. The attack on the Capitol building was a really, really stupid idea, but it was far from insurrection. Whatever makes you sleep at night buddy. It was insurrection, sedition and borderline treason. insurrection: a violent uprising against an authority or government. sedition: conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch. treason: the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government. Just because they failed (miserably at that) doesn't mean they get a pass.2 points -

Up until a year ago I would have agreed with you. Bing used to be so US centric, however they have come leaps and bounds this past year and are actually quite good now (at least in Aus). So much so that I made the switch to Bing after switching to Edge and getting sick of the "HEEEEY PLZ USE CHROME MAATE" every time you loaded a google page. If google try to cut off email and calendar, then I'm screwed, but otherwise quite happy with MS offering now days!2 points -

Bizarre 14-core, 20-thread Intel Alder Lake-P CPU shows up on Geekbench
hellowalkman reacted to George P for a topic
Yes, but this is Intel. If they could compete with the Apple's M1 processor, why did they wait? Why did they keep with the i5, i7 and now I9 BS? If this works, I'm glad Apple forced their hand. Intel, nor AMD would not have stopped otherwise. If they didnt have all the problems with their 10nm node I'd bet this tech would've been out 1 or 2 years ago. Don't forget that they've been forced to push their 10nm plans back, so who knows what the original time line would've been if they didn't mess up?1 point -

nhjay reacted to noobient for a topic
"you need to be wearing an unlocked Apple Watch" That's not the catch, why would you NOT unlock your Watch while wearing it? The _actual_ catch is that this only works with phone unlock but not for authorizing payments. But then again, if you're already wearing the Watch, you can pay with that already, so no biggie.1 point -

Specifically, Google no longer show proper URLs, but breadcrumbs. And the URL is not highlighted in a different color, the URL and title lines have swapped their position. News results on Desktop now have an extremely awful space wasting boxy design that shows very few news results and you have to scroll-scroll-scroll and that same nonsense - everything is black including titles and links - no color differentiation between visited and unvisited links either. Image search UI is also completely ruined as the image preview is tiny and uses about 1/4th of the screen.1 point
