The Board / Leadership voted in by the Coop members apathetic voting turn outs bankrupted the coop, then under creditor protection the assets where sold off.

This all happened in 2020, 5 years ago. The fact you didn't notice till now sort of proves the lack of coop member engagement for really important votes before the end.

I’ve since revoked that access.

A few releases ago they made it so you can DEFAULT new entities NOT to be controlled by the VA.. I cleared ALL entities and changed the setting. I only add things one at a time to voice control now.

SO many integrations ad switches it is a high risk to default the VA to have access to all new ones.

Poor engagement from the coop members lead to voting in an ineffective board and management that lead to the coop going bankrupt.

The “coop” did themselves in.

I am in the camp that there is a benefit to the managed store. Since moving family members to iOS devices the number of times they have loaded malware or asked me for help installing ANYTHING dropped to zero.

Should techies be able to side load if they want? Sure, should that be a primary install method? No.

Epic isn't wrong about Apples payment requirements being BS, but Epic also isn't exactly a hero here.

Will be interesting to see how this pissing match plays out over time.

Should you be able to use other payment providers outside of apple pay YES!

Should you be able to install other APP stores on an iPhone? Not sure.

I like the story’s coming out where the AI puts the API keys for expensive pay per use services in plane text or creates ultra inefficient code that makes unnecessary calls.

If the game isn’t on the cart and it acts as a game code it is a fake cart.

The point of the physical release is to ensure you can play it without worrying about a server shut down in a few years.

How will that work exactly with nearly all console games going all digital or FAKE physical like the Switch 2 with its game code?

And I meant choppy like lines and such. Should’ve said “crispness”. The game plays flawlessly on the tv with no output issues.

You probably need to take a picture, you might be describing that the output is 480i interlaced where every other line is drawn and some modern TVs will render that badly. In which case it is a deinterlacing issue.

Take a look at this link some games support 240p output mode..

If your TV has a crappy upscale then you can look into external hardware, however seems odd this is making it choppy, does your TV have a low latency GAME mode?

I’ll have to check the display mode on the tv and see if any other options exist. I did play it in Fill mode which kept the 4:3 resolution but I feel like that sorta defeats the purpose of using hdmi.

Well no? You are getting a digital signal which will be MUCH clearer than analog RCA.. Upscaling / fill mode is the Only way to make it bigger.

Then we would need to allow a convicted felon in the country. Trump is very clear he wants to "keep criminals out" of the US, we should do the same in Canada.
