Unity does make games, but they are codeveloped with external studios and not branded as being made by Unity. There was a fear in upper management of labeling these projects as having been made by Unity because customers might perceive Unit

The kind of comment that probably goes with someone being outraged apple ships a USB-C only laptop in 2015. Arguably they kick started adoption of usb C by creating an early market for USB-C peripherals. Companies aren’t cartoon characters

FWIW basically no established game developer is using the standard terms epic provides. If you’re in a situation where you have a high degree of confidence you will owe Epic money it is worth reaching out in advance.

Why are you drinking alcoholic beverages if you don’t care about getting drunk? Most of us in the developed world have ready access to a variety of alcohol free drinks if the goal isn’t to get buzzed.

While there are trade offs in every place one chooses to live, and can relate to the eye rolling elitism of folks who’ve never visited most of America as a person who grew up in Tennessee. I think you overplay your hand referring to a state

While there are no IP protections for “style” there are certainly elements that are covered. Particular colors be trademarked, characters can be copyrighted separately from the works they appear in, design patents are a thing that cover mo

C++23 was finalized nearly six months ago so it is not correct to call C++20 the “latest spec”.

Modern platforms are for most folks tools of compulsive consumption more than they are tools for meaningful communication. More users = more content = more consumption. More consumption means more chances to serve ads for a business built o

I don't think he's ever suggested Facebook is anything but a for profit enterprise, but I think it is an extremely cynical take that "build a product a billion people would use before thinking about monetization" actuall

That isn’t single party consent it is all party consent. Single party consent is anyone in the conversation may record without telling others about it. Or a third party may record with the approval of any one who is in the conversation.

There’s a few things I see in your post. One is an implied notion of objective rankings of worth of humans, and binary labels for people. Your post explicitly categorized “all criminals” and “all my friends” at disjoint sets. I can’t speak

Is it better to be “out-competed” by someone who is wealthy from some previous source? Maybe it’s another business, but maybe it’s wealth from their family.

Literally every single Laptop Apple sells is branded as “MacBook”. Its really adds nothing to point out someone didn’t add the word “Pro” or “Air”.

I think I’m missing your point here. Let’s say Texas passes a law that all Texans data has to be processed in Texas, and because cowboys don’t give a shit there’s no consideration for the EUs law. What would the appropriate way for meta to

I don’t think your take is wrong, but using Trump (who became President despite losing the popular vote in 2016) as an example of how citizens hold the power is an amusing way to express that sentiment.

Nice glad that works for you. My language was vague because the unease can come from a lot of different things. Needing exercise or food, being mad about something that happened, processing loss (of family or a job), wanting to connect or r

FWIW I am diagnosed ADHD (from childhood) and the whole thing that got me to start sitting with the fidgety feeling is the calmness that came out of the first time I sat for 10 minutes felt identical to the effect of stimulant medications f

Sorry to be that guy, but IME the fidgety & anxious feeling is almost always some need in one’s life that is being unmet. If you sit with that feeling it often becomes clear exactly what the source is. YMMV especially if you’ve experien

I’ve found many people who complain about weapon durability also complain about exploration being unrewarding. Seemingly oblivious to how these two systems are deeply related: weapon durability allows the game to give you powerful items in

What does that mean, specifically? What policy changes need to be enacted to fix the system, and how do we verify they worked?

Some related questions also worth considering: are most people who have actually committed a crime arrested? In what circumstances is arresting someone necessary or even beneficial for society on the whole? There are costs both to the peopl

For anyone working in big tech it is very clear cut from a financial perspective. That isn’t the only consideration for sure, but it’s wishful thinking to believe otherwise.

If you google search that first name and Unity together it will be very clear exactly who she was talking about.

That role is a random line employee. "Partner Relations Manager" is a role that interfaces with customers of Unity with Enterprise licenses. They don't have direct reports. The "Carol" in question is Unity's CM

Maybe instead of hoping for a lawsuit just stop buying shit google makes. They’ve repeatedly dropped whole product lines on short notice, and even the Android phones they have produced have sometimes had pathetically short supported lives.

I think everything you said is true, but also that the reasoning from the CMA is sound: Microsoft believes in cloud gaming, and regulators have been caught with their pants down by thinking they knew better than industry. Repeatedly.

The only impressive thing about Google’s work with Android updates is they have convinced many people dropping support for a computer in less than two years is an acceptable behavior.

Mark controlled nearly 60% of the votes for meta when ur IPOd. He’s be a fool to let go of that level of control, and if that is still true the board works for him. Not the other way around. https://www.reuters.com/breakingv
