What they did with their manufacturers is a different issue, but in general they offer a lot more options than Apple. Android allows Manufacturers (such as Amazon and Samsung) to have their own app stores and allows for side loading apps, b

They're taking on so much technical debt that most of what they create will either be scrapped or no longer considered cutting edge by the time the game releases. They have a serious case of scope creep.

You talk like cryptocurrencies are a valid alternative, even though they have a terrible UX that makes their adoption in the real world near non-existent. Hell, losing or getting your private keys stolen could also nuke your business. Yes,

That's because they're far more convenient and user friendly, and the fraud detection makes up for that compromise in security. As far as user experience goes, it's a win-win and a superior experience to paying with cryptocur

That defeats the point. People keep forgetting that the single innovative aspect of cryptocurrencies was the invention of a way to do completely anonymous and trustless transactions. That's it. The second you wrap that in a layer that

Those don't seem confusing to me considering LotR shows Elrond facing off against Sauron in the Second Age and Hobbits were never indicated to not exist in the Second Age (why would you think that?). They tell you right off the bat tha

For some context, the first Tesla Roadster also had a transmission, but Tesla quickly realized that it's far better to simply scale up the motor so that the torque curve is high enough at higher RPMs, electronically cap the torque at l
