For what it's worth, Windows Phone was sort of a successor to that. And then they went and killed it too...

Wasn't AC Shadows one of their best selling games? People still like Ubisoft games despite what people here want to believe. AC and FC fans play them precisely because they don't rock the boat too much, you get what you expect with these games. The problem is that Star Wars fans probably aren't looking for the same fix that Ubisoft's usual audience is looking for.

Are any of the Far Cry's remarkable? Not particularly but it's a good co-op game where I can mess around with a friend and shoot the shit with. And it consistently gives me a good experience if that's what I'm looking for.

You're also not having a random conversation on the street, this information is just a quick search away. By making up numbers and creating a bigger issue when existing issues are already strong enough of an argument, you hurt your own credibility and attacking people for pointing that out is even worse.

Since we're talking about Apple, there's an upcoming library and spec called WebGPU that, contrary to it's name, is a higher level cross platform graphics library. It's an interesting idea, write once and depending on your platform, it would use the corresponding platform's preferred backend (e.g. Direct3D on Windows, Metal on Macs, etc). It's supposed to be promising and provide a easy way for any existing dev to hop in until they had to give up on SPIR-V support and come with a Metal-like shading language just to appease Apple so that they would support it due to Apple's existing legal disagreements with Khronos.

And from what I've seen from WGSL, it's nowhere as nice as GLSL and HLSL.

So yea, if you need any more evidence of Apple's shitty attitude in the space.

Transparency is fine if it's used for stuff like the background of a window, since you'd want tod emphasize that anyways but I have to agree that using it for icons hurts usability so much.

Isn't that now for their cross country trains as opposed to their subways?

I liked 0 far better but I got to give credit to the original for setting it up so that the strong notes of 0 could hit as hard as they could. That ending of that one episode where they played Lyra still destroys me to this day.

Is that Mio? That's the same surname, hair and it definitely sounds like her. Can't wait to see her.

Who was expecting this to be console pricing? This is essentially a full laptop in a tiny form factor, of course it's gonna cost more like a laptop or you know, all of the other handheld PCs out there.

After so many years, can't say I understood the appeal of facial recognition on a phone. You're already going to be holding it so fingerprint readers still seem superior in every way. You can unlock it before you even take it out of your pocket too.

So glad I got my Fold 6 last year to upgrade from my Fold 3. The removal of pen support is a unnegotiable downgrade for me. Can't say I'm a fan of the larger screen and thinner profile either, the Fold 3 proved to me that a narrow and thick device is a far more usable device than normal form factors because of how easy it is to hold it. I already find the 6 way too big.

Smae thing that Nvidia does with OpenGL. Their driver handles a lot erroneous out of spec behaviour so developers think their game works fine but the moment you run it on AMD or Intel GPUs, you get all sorts of issues because they actually implement the spec accurately.
