Google refunded the devices for 2 years after they shut it down. Also Revolv was more of an acquihire, they shut it down almost immediately after they acquired it in 2016. You could say that Revolv failed. If google didn't purchase it

I used to look forward to Ubuntu releases with so much anticipation back in breezy-hardy days. I would spend my days in the forums reading notes from early tester, participate in polls for what the animal would be chosen or marvel at the up

It's kind of depressing seeing how much even leaders just blatantly copy each other quotes.

The 5 isn't arbitrary. It's a number engineered to limit the shareability of subscriptions and purchases to increase revenue and reduce abuse. That's probably another good reason why a company like google should be broken up.

There are tons of updates on stadia. They put out at least a post a week with new features and games. The pro subscribers now have access to dozens of games free of charge. Just last weak they put out the first game with support to crowd ch

Interesting. So maybe that's where apples 30% margin comes from. Retail stores charge that so they figured a virtual retail should charge the same. Except it has a much lower operating cost.

I can't keep from thinking this is a misguided step. If they are going after the google analytics market of non paying users maybe they are able to lure some, but remember that these are non paying users so they are not likely to bring

How much does a retailer like walmart charge on a transaction like a video game? I'm not sure but I'm inclined to guess it's more than 30%

Pico-8 other than licensing is superior. But TIC-80 has a pro version that is paid and has some features locked behind it. I generally dislike the practice. You either release the whole software as open source or release a commercial produc

I commend you for taking the time to translate the material to different languages. We really lack good learning material in languages like Portuguese. This helps a lot.

This is an old feature. But it requires Gmail asking for a permission or maybe clicking on a setting somewhere and that means most users will ignore it or simply dismiss it without understanding what it even is. These days there are so many

I'm on the other end of the spectrum. Since the updates are constant, often required and automatic it makes little sense to provide these in the store itself. The user doesn't really have a choice of not updating most of the time.
