Steam is overwhelmingly popular with users and publishers alike and so it's enjoying default status with both, but that's the fairest play in capitalism. There's little lock-in (non-transferable licenses and network effects a

I'd say much older than that. PCs were being subsidized by adware and bundling starting in the 90s at least, for example.

I'd tack a few more features onto it, like multiple desktops, and give it a small face-lift to make it just a wee less ugly. But yeah.

I'm not necessarily talking about whether the market is _large_ but rather whether users on that platform and its users will participate in raising its profile to a tipping point. More than one platform is likely to contribute to this.

On the other hand, it's hard to predict where your product needs to be to find a spark that sets a fire.

That's true for any law and its scoff laws.

Budweiser is on its deathbed? I doubt that very much.

I think Apple's angle on this either should be or already is synergies. Because of AI and their nascent push into AR/VR, it appears to me at least that promoting gaming is one worthwhile prong in the campaign. To keep investment i

Humor, irreverence, formality, political correctness, or whatever quality doesn't seem to be the issue so much as it is authenticity of any kind. But advertising never was authentic. The goal is to drive sales using whatever tools the

I'm reluctant to consider shoddy or noncompliant implementations as counting against a technology. If I did, then it'd follow that there's no such thing as a good idea, and I could only agree with that if I were having a bad

I absolutely believe this. If you think your service shall perform no due diligence that it is correct, accurate, and safe, then you have no business providing it to the user, who has little or no knowledge of the domain, which you are sell

This stance is reckless and negligent. Pragmatically, you can be found liable. Ethically, it's cut and dried.

Took me a while to figure out what you were talking about. So, the article mentions an older product by the same people that used your "periscope" arrangement, but THIS product is a m4/3 sensor hanging off the end of a ribbon

You can buy a FF sensor in quantities as small as 1 for less than that per unit, but it will inconveniently have the rest of the camera around it. /s

Looks like they gave it kind of a "gamer" aesthetic? And it's just overall kind of ugly. Interesting choices inside and out.

Only enumerate and pay for top-level tools and dependencies, none of which are probably padLeft. Those downstream recipients can further "pay it forward" to their top-level dependencies. Everyone has an incentive to not pull in su

Aside from such a scheme dominating a particular region and being a potential playground for other anticompetitive practices, nothing about the idea in general strikes me as inherently anticompetitive. Insurance cos can still compete on the

Maybe! Seems a little unlikely that Apple could fly something like that under the radar, not for very long, but mistakes happen. Do bodies like the FCC independently verify compliance?
349.
by Clamchop 3y ago
It's not Apple's job to determine if there's a problem with that and regulations on this issue are, so far as I'm aware, treated very seriously.

That doesn't read as correct in this case, as a bulky and heavy "bead" on the cable makes the product less functional for the purposes of most customers. The author has different priorities but they're idiosyncratic.

I also enjoy interpreting antisocial by the strict psychiatric definition when someone describes themselves as such. Oh, so you're a devil-may-care litterbug? Tell me more. But only for humor or conversational interest. Rigidly rejecti

We can count getting your things in order, gussying yourself up so no one sees you for the garbage that you are, and just kinda... not wanting to some of the time. And framing it as 40 minutes saved is kind of missing part of the story, bec

Yes, that is the exclusive deficit of people who want to work from home and no other person, policy, or structural fact about your job. Your management hasn't already had the idea and, if they have, the only reason they haven't pu

Hooking the video out of a computer to a TV isn't the only use case. Once you can stream to any device and multiples of them, transcoding on the fly, with a good UX that saves your spot and tells you what's new with artwork and wh

This is an egregious deployment of the word "egregious". In a world where security catastrophes are de rigueur (all of them driven by oversights), this level of drama over an audio bug is so unjustified that it reads like trolling

Not wanting to disagree with mods as it's rarely a good look, but in this case, nobody would know why to (and so probably wouldn't) click through with its original title, and the change doesn't appear to meet the English defi

My experience has been that people are pretty good about recycling cans and plastic bottles. But, the pods might see less compliance. People get iffy if they think something is too dirty to be recycled, and maybe it is, so they have to open

You make it sound like all one has to do to earn a degree is show up.
