I've just been playing TotK for a few hours and was so engrossed by all the little details that make the game world feel alive the frame rate didn't bother me at all. It's perfectly fine if you just want to experience the gam

Not when you add "on a complete system costing less than $300" to that sentence.

There always will be faster hardware, that's beside the point. Games that are designed for their target hardware should not have problems.

You only pay a fee if you want to distribute. It's free to build your own code and run it on your own phone.

What you call 'control freak' is just the culture of a company focussed on creating a curated experience which is a combination of software, hardware and user experience. Anything not fitting in that vision diminishes that experie

People complaining about the Switch being underpowered are expecting PS5 level performance on a mobile device. Even if a new console would be twice as fast they still would be disappointed. It's perfectly possible to create innovative

You could argue the restrictions caused by not having access to formal music education and classical instruments caused a lot of innovation in the music space. People made music long before any kind of formal music theory was a thing and wi

Just like X11 uses Xexts and/or toolkit libraries for about anything.

And why would they ever fix it if users can easily switch back to Xorg?

Maybe they drive safer, but when something out of their control happens they're dead with such speeds. Also, I don't see how you can be an optimal functioning driver after sixty hours behind the wheel.

Most people just do 120-140kph and call it a day. Of course, there are some fast cars overtaking everybody. You will have to pay more attention to surroundings even when driving 160+ since a Bugatti passing with 250kph will be near you just

I can't imagine programmers using reasonably well tested and documented ORMs and still firing a minimum of 20 queries would be capable of writing a nice and equally bug-free SQL interface in place of that ORM...

One of Java's strong points has always been the amount of care to source and binary compatibility (Java 8 classes work fine on Java 20, source code only need minor modifications). I welcome the new restrictions since they make Java mor

You don't want a V8 powered RWD car. Car manufacturers spend huge amounts of money to make you want a V8 powered car. When everyone has an EV, TV ads show cool new EV's and make you look backward for even thinking about burning ga

You don't get to choose, pairing the things with an iOS or mac device automatically updates it. Anyway, my old Airpods 2 set was already updated and is still working so maybe not that big a deal...

Considering it's a big API with dozens of methods I'd be surprised if two implementations would agree exactly.

While I get where the 'undermine' narrative is coming from, there are other, IMO more plausible, reasons why support is difficult: - Apple doesn't want others to dictate their development schedule. - Some Web standards clash

There's still a lot of SAML and SOAP being spoken on the Internet, so I wouldn't call it a failed protocol. Interoperability between Java and .NET was a solved problem somewhere around 2008. Most important reason XML was replaced

Packaging would be simpler, but you probably have to update the whole OS and all your installed apps when a security update for a common library is released.

Lots of companies offer "low code" or "no code" tooling nowadays. Only no company has market monopoly power anymore to be a focus point like Microsoft was in the 90s.
