This will probably be an unpopular opinion here, but I love Stadia. I have a gaming pc, but my GPU is getting old so the newer games don't run well. So I gave Stadia a go. My internet is good enough and the fact of not having to downlo

It's literally against the terms of service, so they could remove it for that reason: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#cop...

Based on what you wrote I would say Google, because they have so much more to lose. That data is really really valuable to them, whereas to Apple it isn't really.

I use the Family Link feature on Android, so my kids have to ask for permission before they install a new app.

I installed TikTok to see what it was all about. I used it every day for about 6 months. I saw loads of misinformation about the election, there were gruesome videos of people feeding live animals to their pet snakes and other animals. And

It's changing in the UK too. Boris Johnson flat out refused to be interviewed by the BBC's Andrew Neil (who's conservative himself) because he knew he'd be destroyed.

If Epic wanted to make a video game streaming service like Stadia, the video compression knowledge these guys have could come in very handy I imagine. So maybe it's not just about Unreal Engine, but about making the Epic store in to a

Isn't GPT-3 licensed exclusively to Microsoft? Maybe Bing will actually get good.

Wait, Google isn't sharing your analytics data with any third parties.

I don't think it's fair to call Windows on ARM an "engineer retention project". They actually released Windows RT and tried very hard to make it work. They still have it going with the Surface Pro X, and they just announ

It's the hypocrisy of Apple using privacy in their marketing and then turning around and doing this.

Damn, freshmeat.net... I used to visit that site every day in the early 2000s, and I'd totally forgotten about it.

Now that I got a Pixel 4a I'm never spending more than $400 for a phone ever again. It's fantastic.

It's weird that they specifically worked with Amazon to make their Luna game streaming service work as a PWA on iOS: “We worked with the Safari team to ensure that some of the things that weren't there are there, and that allowed

Well if it's drawing every pixel or using 2D primitives that sounds much more like Flutter than React Native since Flutter also uses Skia while React Native uses platform widgets.

Thanks for the response. I have some personal experience with React Native which feels like a dead end to me. We've been building our apps with our small team with Swift (not SwiftUI) and Kotlin on Android, but the difficulty in keepin

Curious how it compares with other reactive mobile frameworks like Jetpack Compose (which my colleague says is not at all ready for primetime) and Flutter (which he says is great). Any thoughts?

Dom Hofmann, one of the cofounders of Vine launched Byte which is basically a new Vine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_(app) . I don't know if it's catching on though. I guess if TikTok does get banned we&

Yeah and just imagine how the anti-vax conspiracy crowd would respond in that situation. Things would get really crazy really fast. Even in a pandemic we can't rush this.

Having end-to-end encryption on icloud backups would be better than this vague press release.

Interestingly Google's Flutter can target Android native but also can compile to a web app with PWA features.

I've got a three year old OnePlus 5 and I've yet to encounter a single app that has been slow, so I'm not sure what value a faster phone would have for me. The only reason I'm considering upgrading is to have a better ca
