Japan attacked US military targets and the US killed their civilians in retribution. This is pure, undisputed fact (well, for most apparently).

This comment doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article, which is about the short launch window for iOS 14 and issues surrounding that. Are you simply reacting to the title?

If you move into a house I imagine looking at it with your own eyes (and even from the inside!) is a much better UX than Google Maps, but maybe that's just me.

Well, my experience [1] has been nearly perfect, certainly much better than what I've had with AMD. Nvidia has been pretty much plug&play for me for a long time, with very few issues. For Wayland yes, Nvidia is using a different ap
