The cutting off a hand thing might be satire, but the threat of biometric data being replicated and used if its the only measure of authentication isn't. If we have the ability to read and scan palm prints, than the technology to repli

Discord will always have a market as long as competing marketplaces / ecosystems exist on PC. Discord's platform agnosticism makes it a safer bet than the three companies you mentioned, all of which are incentivized to build close

Google sells all of these games on Google Play without any form of "revolt" from their developers. So im not sure where you're getting this idea, other than baseless conjecture

Different platforms have different baseline moderation policies, and in some cases that remains the differentiator in the platform itself (e.g. Parler). I dont think acting within the values of another site is a good excuse to not get banne

so you suspect that some gene (evidence for which also exists "anecdotally") triggers a genetic response only in countries where this type of food isn't regularly consumed? because then this sounds like a wild guess prompted

then why is that not the case for countries with a significantly higher proportion of soy in their diets such as countries in Asia? if what you said is true then once would expect to notice it

Right, but a great way to diffuse that anger would be to _not_ have a single account system, an idea Facebook seems to refuse outright. This is not a move a company like Facebook can make at least currently, given how little users trust the

The issue is that Facebook's services (Instagram, WhatsApp) have operated with independent account systems for close to a decade, and no one account should be required to use one service. Facebook (the app) is an unrelated platform fro

right, but that headline doesnt answer the underlying question. This chromecast runs Android TV, so what is Google TV? Is it an interface on top of Android TV, or the successor to Android TV as we know it? It says its coming to future TV&#x

Not necessarily. Since the Rift S launched and Oculus Link released, Facebook changed the branding of games that require a PC to "Supports Rift Platform" to signify that they can also be played on a tethered Quest. I expect they&#

I don't think this is really analogous here. The App Store's monopoly on distribution != iOS app sandboxing, the later of which all apps distributed through non jailbroken means (including AltStore) abide by. The later is what pro

I wouldn't say that these two experiences are necessarily equivocal. Growing up without the internet before its advent and mass adoption is a different experience than living isolated in a society where immediate connection is a norm.

My hypothesis is that Apple uses 'security reasons' as an excuse for their lack of dominance in voice assistants + machine learning. Siri's suggestions are virtually nonexistent compared to Google, Amazon, or even Microsoft&#

I doubt it will, as this seems to be more of a "vault" system, similar to the already existing EA Access. How that works, is that they will release the game full price just as always, and after sales slow down they will add it to
