Sure, but its been, like, thirty years . The biggest advancement specifically Linux gaming has had in that time is a highly optimized DX interpolation layer from Valve (Proton, an extension of WINE). The linux community seems to believe th

Apple has two hundred billion dollars in cash sitting in a bank account, a fitness ecosystem, and deep experience in fitness and video production. They've announced that the initial set of programs will include cycling, treadmill walk

But, there's an argument to be made that they would be cross-shopping $500 Amazon-Prime-deliver-tomorrow bikes, to pair with the Apple ecosystem they already have. I would be scared if I ran Peloton. Their entire MO is the ecosystem;

I hope so. And when AMD's graphics cards and Intel's processors become good again, they're welcome to reclaim a top spot. But, until then, they are woefully behind.

Nvidia is a total powerhouse when it comes to chip design. Most people here are looking at this from the angle of "how does ARM benefit Nvidia", but I think its more valuable to consider "how does Nvidia benefit ARM". In

I tend to agree, but there may be another angle to this which could prove beneficial to consumers. Right now, the only ARM chips which are actually competitive with desktop chips are from Apple, and are obviously very proprietary. If this a

I am not arguing that this should happen; I am asserting that this will happen. The reasons why it should or shouldn't happen don't matter when it will happen. If you'd like to: Go back and re-read my comment, but re-read

If there was a sports-like betting site for future decisions that major open source projects are going to make, I would put a thousand dollars on "Cargo/Crates will implement namespaces." The developers have convinced themsel

The statistic I've found which illuminates this point to even people who know nothing about the situation: By revenue, Apple is the third largest gaming company on the planet, without making a single game. Most people think about that

I think we need to view it from the perspective of developers who release internet-hosted applications; not consumers. Consumers do have some amount of choice, but developers generally have to release applications for internet-hosted applic

Ultimately, this isn't about App Store revenue. Yes, iOS generates far more IAP revenue than Android, in general. But, does this apply to Fortnite (maybe), xCloud (no), Hey (no), and the many other apps which have been Banned By Apple?

I think its really important the narrative stays clear concerning this: Its never been about users having choice (because users do have choice): Its about Developers not having a choice. Refusing to release an iOS app for your web applicati

I feel its different. Google (and Apple) should have a say in what they sell in their storefronts. Suggesting that they have to carry any application submitted to them, law permitting, is taking the situation too far. Even demanding that ap

These proceedings are not about users having no choice (though, they really don't: Has anyone here except you even heard of "mer"?) They're about developers not having any choice. Developers have to release on iOS. There

Fortnite grosses hundreds of millions of dollars on the App Store [1]; every dollar spent is a cut Apple counts toward its $10B+ annual gaming revenue numbers [2]. It is not an understatement to say that Fortnite, as a single application, i

Yes: In terms of performance per watt, AMD generally beats Intel. It's not really even close in many situations. What this means for consumers is more complex, as there are many variables you can try to optimize for. If you're aft

Any modern (ie 2020) third-party benchmarks ran against these processors have the vulnerability patches applied. They're factored in. Yes, Intel will often cite performance characteristics without the patches applied, and shame on them

It's a complex equation, but in general, if you have an RTX 2080 Ti, you'll get a higher average FPS out of an i9 10900k than a Ryzen 9 3900x across most games. Of course, that "more performance" often means "Runnin

Intel's CPUs today are still king when it comes to single-thread workloads, like gaming. The main difference in the past two years has been that AMD has taken the lead in multi-thread performance, and that's scared Intel so much

Maybe. But, as a general rule, I advise against arrays of unbounded size on documents (arrays of a known bounded size, say, containing enums to act as a multi-value flag, or email addresses on a user's account, or something like that,
