1. What do you mean by 'more'? how many phones do you own that regularly have mechanical moving parts?

  2. Technically anything with optical camera stabilization.

  3. Okay that's nice. Can't install that on my phone tho

  4. Of course you can. You just have to not be lazy.

  5. It’s open source so if you don’t trust a binary, you can verify and compile it yourself.

  6. They probably wanna stay on Nintendo’s happy side

  7. No it’s because JITs are inherently a security risk that are hard to mitigate in a general way b

  8. I doubt that. Like with Apple every decision will be questioned as Elon would’ve done more. Also he owns so much of the company stock that fear of him selling to invest elsewhere would spook most investors.

  9. People will question it regardless. They do it because it’s easy to feel smart when they’re being cynical.

  10. TIL Palmer is Matt Gaetz's brother-in-law. Wild!

  11. Wow it really is shitty world views all around in that family. Crazy, did not know they were family.

  12. Do you have reading issues? Two people in row have explained it for you, with links from the folks behind the GPL to back it up. Yet you continue to not understand what has been summarized.

  13. The GBA4iOS dev did not create emu-ex-plus-alpha, but they depend on it. Therefore, their “That being said, I explicitly give permission for anyone to use, modify, and distribute my original code for this project without fear of legal consequences — unless you plan to submit your app to Apple’s App Store, in which case written permission from me is explicitly required.” line is amusing but meaningless, as they would themselves violate the GPL.

  14. Please read this next paragraph in its entirety before responding:

  15. Honestly, I think it’s a good decision. For the price point and the issues, it’s not worth it. I use my iPhone shortcut connected to my Rayban Meta’s and have no latency issues using perplexity. So for $400 I can do everything the AI pin can do and don’t have to pull my phone out.

  16. Yeah this thing has no way to compete against smart glasses . Even the ones that are just audio only. Or watches.

  17. Great article and analysis!

  18. If it’s in a pot (it’s soup after all) , then heat is heat. Unless it’s got wood/charcoal, you won’t get a flavor difference. Given ramen is a slow broth, it seems kind of pointless.

  19. Carmack also barely sees an issue with talking at anti-woke conferences. Not my description, that’s theirs.

  20. Palmer Luckey actively supports (financially and promotional), and hangs out with members of the alt right and far right.

  21. Not true, a mith about optimization for PS5 is no longer true. It was during PS2/3 era. Now 99% of developers do "high quality" game and look what they can cut to make it work on a console. Console hardware is exactly the same as PC parts nowdays, but with custom boot loader so you cannot easily just run your windows there.

  22. Uh I work in real time graphics now and you’re really trivializing what is done for optimizations.

  23. Discrete VRAM in PC equalizes the unified fast memory consoles uses. A pc also has low level access, direct storage sstreaming, hardware compression(not as integrated as consoles). It's hardly true that a console can do what a PC cannot. After all these games are developed in PC and they can test in realtime.

  24. It’s clear you’ve not worked in game development.

  25. So by their own sign, they’d be okay with people turning them away from jobs etc because they’re gay?

  26. As I do understand now though, CGI apparently isn't easy and why what may look like you're watching a video game (Kind of what I felt with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire in some scenes), that's the best they were able to do, maybe ten years from now that will change as they improve on CGI for movies.

  27. Thats definitely part of it but part of it is also art direction. It’s not just that time and effort but the creatives in charge sometimes want specific things or styles.

  28. Practical effects are incredibly expensive. You need to have way more on set expertise to make something happen safely. The hardware is not cheap either.

  29. What’s changed since the 90s is precisely that tech has become cheaper.

  30. As an engineering manager who recently was hiring , it’s just that there’s sooooo many applicants right now and most are bad. Couple this with fewer headcount’s being available to fill.

  31. Because that’s no longer a requirement in the EU

  32. The randomization part feels weird…alphabetical makes way more sense to me

  33. Randomization is so that no specific browser gets preferential placement above another. Otherwise everyone would rename their browsers to be AAAAmazing Browser

  34. Make him look like Odin from the latest God of War. I know Odin has always had an eye patch but the actor (Richard Schiff) who plays him/its modelled on looks remarkably like Rushdie

  35. That's not how it works on PC. As long as the device is the same (Android, PC, Etc) then the launcher or app store doesn't matter - the game is the same and compiled the same way.

  36. This isn’t true. If they have any integrations with the service, then it’s gated by what they’re using. Sometimes the services will run the servers for them for example.

  37. Palm, Nokia, and BlackBerry all allowed software installs from alternative sources.

  38. You’re purposefully dancing around what I’m saying and asking. I’ll ask again. What completely unfettered digital distribution stores were there in the US?

  39. Most devices with internet connectivity used the web browser for downloads, and often required a connection to a local machine to install applications. On-device app stores for mobile devices were rare until 4g era when network speeds were actually decent.

  40. By unfettered I mean where the devices weren’t commonly locked down. Outside of PDA style devices, most devices were carrier locked from being able to install third party apps.

  41. When Apple started its iOS developer program, we had to jump through all kinds of hoops to get an app approved, including helping debug some of their APIs regarding the camera. We all bought into the pricing structure and verifications. We were literally in their sandbox. It was a lot of work but a walk in the park compared to Microsoft and their idiotic smartphones. So, Apple took over the market for a while as Google and Android caught up (at least internationally) because Apple built a system that supported development by third parties and paid off as they agreed. Google/Android took a different path, and their developers can sell around Google's or other Android phone's marketplace. As a result, Android has a bigger market share internationally. Apple's iPhone market share is not Microsoft Windows in the 1990s, with 90% of the PC market. I hate monopolies as much as the next person, but I do not see it here.

  42. I know it’s not the point you were making but…

  43. you talk like apple is pass the cost savings onto you......

  44. It’s not Apple passing the savings. It’s the product not being taxed at a higher rate.

  45. As with any headset, I think there’ll be a range of comfort complaints and preferences. I can understand headaches and neck pains. Getting a good fit is key, and for example I don’t experience it with a Solo band but do with the dual strap, and my wife is the opposite.

  46. I don’t see how Apple can’t go out to places and get environment footage within like 24 hours. It’s insane that they only launched with like 5. There should be 25…

  47. Cummon, do you seriously think it’s a video? Give it some critical thought. You have parallax. You have light interaction. You have virtual rain. You have the MOON. Seriously. Critical thinking

  48. His delivery was funny but the jokes themselves felt like a 15 year old Facebook post.

  49. TBF, that’s generally most of Jimmy’s one liners. He’s great as a TV host where the one liners are quick asides but his dedicated standup feels very dated

  50. Engineering samples are always well ahead of production launch.

  51. How would Intel have engineering samples from NVIDIA? ( the person you responded to was saying Blackwell isn’t available yet )

  52. I'm just saying regardless of company...chips are always available prior to "launch" which means to me generally available to customers in volume.

  53. But not to competitors. And anyone with early access is usually under NDA that would avoid competitors getting it to benchmark against.
