I don’t think Intel v. ARM matters too much once the engine HALs support it natively, or through Rosetta 2. This to me doesn’t seem too bad. The OS APIs and building an ergonomic experience is the challenging part. Supporting APIs is harder

It seems that way. For a long time, what Apple didn’t use or specifically wanted on their platforms didn’t get a lot of thought. Most game engines haven’t figured out resolutions and DPI scaling for windowed full-screen games in macOS and f

Nice find, it’s true. That’s the only avenue I see where porting a AAA-style game makes sense for a Mac financially. Left 4 Dead 1 and 2, and several Counter-Strike games were also ported, but CS:GO was later discontinued for Macs. These we

NFTs — neutral with 98% confidence. Hmm… Also, it seems like putting in the same phrase twice generates different graphs and results at least sometimes. So it’s difficult to use comparatively.

It’s not the end of the world to develop for macOS and iOS. These platforms are just idiosyncratic and don’t have many serious gamers. Neither smartphones nor Macs have been powerful or ergonomic enough to play current-generation games for

Video games are an excellent distraction to break up invasive thought patterns, too. There are several methods to use distractions that therapists tailor to their clients. This is part of why I work in the games industry, grandstanding as i

I've seen strings for selecting a WiFi network in an SSID list :) I'm guessing for OTA updates when the car is at home or there is another use that involves your phone's hotspot. I've seen what you are talking about, too

I could be wrong, but E90 with the best HiFi package is a very rare exception to the rule. I wouldn’t say you often see such configurations. It’s cool they did that but it’s almost like they are trying to prove some point — maybe to be the

Now shark fins are in vogue again because they house multiple antennas — FM/AM, DAB, GPS, and recently more importantly, 4G. Maybe even WiFi — weird as it sounds, I saw some strings for WiFi antennas in a popular stock media/head

Social media websites could use AI to simply generate posts. I mean, why not? User engagement is all that counts, it doesn't matter by what means and at what moral costs, right? I don't mean fake users (although I wouldn't pu

This meme is based on a premise that copying others is bad. But I would argue the opposite: why keep reinventing what already exists? Take software engineers, for example. Most spend their entire lives rewriting code that's already bee

Hmm, that is a very long time to suffer the side effects. The information leaflets often say to discontinue much sooner. Well, if your doctor was okay with it, then who are internet strangers to judge? If you had the usual non-tolerance GI

This seems historic. One of the core differentiators between iOS and Android that worked in Android's favor is now destroyed. I hope it doesn't become a slippery slope where for "security" Google would start blocking und

People really love SpaceX and Tesla on HN. It is generally difficult to present a counter-opinion. Even with good evidence. I’m not sure why that is. Techno-optimism perhaps.
