Facebook/ten cent/etc have literally zero reason to stay off the play store. Google encourages them to be malware, and doesnt curtail their bad behavior is any way.

Apple doesn't. They might not leave while they think they can also destroy the security of iOS in the US, but it is a complete and utter certainty that the literal day any similar law takes effect in the US that Facebook and all their apps leave the App Store completely. They absolutely can trivially walk people through the steps from their website and the apps that are already installed, and they already have the monopoly to force their users to deal with it.

Apple isn't Reddit, building a market by claiming to be open then locking it down. They built their market because the walled garden is a massively better product.

And then, after installing a malware OS, you have to let destiny install it's own malware.

The problem is that "don't let people game you" is extremely difficult.

It's many, many orders of magnitude easier to provide a useful search of sites that tell you the truth about what they are than it is when 99% of sites lie to you.

The writing was always stupid, but 3 turned extra-self-congratulatory-stupid.

I've had decent experience with nobara with a 2080. I had a couple hiccups early, and had to reinstall basically right away, but after that it's been solid.

But still declared them liable for the actions of their users.

Bad ruling, just less bad than it could be.

I could see the benefit on a non-phone mobile device. Completely cutting power as a deep sleep without needing a lengthy boot sequence could be nice.

Unless it's actually "just as fast" as volatile memory (including progress to the latter) and not more expensive, though, it seems like it wouldn't justify the tradeoffs.

I'm guessing they're the leagues they have some rights to. But even assuming they have it solved way before football season it dampens my interest a bunch.

No NFL? I don't care that it's the offseason. It dwarves every other US sport. Not having it to select day one is odd.

Edit: "yesterday" instead of "recent games" is just as weird.

If I put the over/under at 10x male pirate to female, are you taking the under?

The limitation of both was still way more the awful CPU and HDDs, though, neither of which they addressed much in the updated versions.

There's plenty of room to improve graphics. It won't make the PS5 obsolete, because the core CPU/SSD is what matters, but that doesn't mean they can't or won't make a better one.
