What an irresponsible business model. It's not the "no support" part that concerns me, is that they've pocketed the customers money until there was a major problem, then just shut down, customers be damned. Sounds like s

Worst out of the 23 games listed in the first link has 8 frames of latency at 120 fps, which is about 66ms. Monitor input lag included. 200ms, while possible, is far from "most AAA+ games", as OP stated. Sure, there's people

No, I intend software freedom in the Stallman sense. Freedom from licences, EULAs, obligations, warranties. Freedom to modify and redistribute. Of course this leaves the door open for "choice", but it's just, in my opinion, a

"Linux is about choice" is the most toxic and cancerous idea in the Linux world. Linux has always been about software freedom and open source, it was never about choice. When people made it about choice, infinite fragmentation sta

And provides out of the box DNS caching, like any modern operating system. Do Linux users really want their year on the desktop, or will they keep complaining at any change to get there?

I get that. The question is whether there are the same high levels on all foods, or there is something very wrong on baby food pipelines only. And which food types are the most affected, which I didn't manage to understand from a curso

Is there reason to expect heavy metals to be present only in baby foods, and not commonly available groceries? Are only babies at risk, or are we all?

It would be incredible for code on screencasts, to make sure even people in the back can easily read what's on the screen. Indeed, accessibility isn't only for people with disabilities.

Only phone numbers: your own contact list IS the social graph. You lose your SIM card, you lose your friends. Usernames: Signal needs to store your social graph (in a privacy preserving fashion) on a central server. So, paradoxically, phone

If you're, say, playing a competitive FPS with a team (e.g. Counter Strike), you will obsess about game mechanics and latency and input lag, because after 10 hours proficiency you'll be able to notice if you're getting packet

IIRC the Firefox mouse scrolling/acceleration factors are quite off on macOS. I remember tweaking them to make scrolling feel much better. Sorry I'm not on macOS any longer, I don't remember what I changed exactly.

No mention of improved latency or latency figures at all. Until it's in the single digit range, Bluetooth audio will remain a gimmick, unusable in certain cases. Right now, we're 2 orders of magnitude away from that.
