The Epic case is a slam dunk, Apple has monopolized the iOS app distribution market since the beginning of the iPhone. Epic is just the first one with motive and the money to bring a challenge against Apple. Yes, after a couple of decades o

If it's anti-competitive at 95% market share, it's anti-competitive at 50%. Your position is hypocritical and wrong. Everyone should follow the same rules, not make up their own.

This is a meaningless argument, like I said, innovation and upkeep isn't free. Software requires just as much infrastructure, tooling, and optimization as making a physical good. Your code will bit rot in weeks or months if you don&#x2

If the only barrier to entry was money, that would be understandable, but facing artificial roadblocks like those Tile faced seems pretty avoidable with better anti-trust regulation. I also don't think making software or making a platf

This really makes Samsung Exynos chips with Mali GPUs appealing for Linux use, and hopefully when Exynos with RDNA2 comes out, support will be great there as well. I'm not really seeing Mali GPUs and unlocked bootloader phone options i

Honestly, who asked for FLoC and the MS alternative (edit: it's PARAKEET)? Why can't ad servers just follow my Do Not Track preferences? Serve me a random ad, or a context based ad if I have Do Not Track set... seems a lot simpler

The flow requires both devices to be in the possession of the account holder for the migration to start, mitigating any risks of foul play. I just tried migrating on my (Android) phones. If an attacker can get you put in your passcode, they

The additional L3 is per chiplet, so you're still going to have to talk to other chiplets and their L3. Latency numbers would be good to see. This is definitely better than eDRAM L4 on the I/O die, and that's still something

I wonder why it didn't make it to production, at least the self balancing and electric parts of it.

I hope finding out how much an Xbox really costs isn't too much to ask for after these disclosures.

This is about privacy and security concerns which should outweigh Apple's need for lock-in. Even BT scanning would be a good start.

A GPS-only tracker would raise the bar a bit, more expensive+power use. With the Find My network and UWB, it just seems like bar has been lowered without adequate protections.

This is what Intel/AMD have done for multiple generations of their GPU hardware now for a decade or more. Hasn't stopped them from innovating. Nvidia has PTX with a proprietary steam assembler underneath which can retarget any har

I was trying to get at cargo2nix, gradle2nix, etc.. Static linking along with non-FHS does enable multiple versions of apps to co-exist easier, but then this is what AppImage/Flatpak enable too. I've played around with Nix and sou

As the reply to Linus's post points out, the increase in storage/network (~9MB vs 40+MB) can be multiples of the shared library cost, and memory cost can be multiples too if you're not calling the same binary over and over ag

Maybe independent notaries are what you're after if privacy is the problem? The web seems to do fine with independent cert providers.

ESYNC is the way this is currently done, it's hit and miss in that it doesn't work unless the number of open files is set high enough for some games. It's also slower than this proposal.

They could still offer it as a client library feature, just tell the users what kind of r/w amplification and guarantees they can expect, and it's something they could optimize later or not.
