FYI, Microsoft did not have a monopoly on personal computers. It had a monopoly on Intel based computers. See the actual judgement for details. Apple has a monopoly on A9, A10, and A11 based computers.

I want it because that's what I grew up with. I loved everything about it. We had a 3 bedroom house with living room and kitchen and 2 car garage. In the garage my dad had a workbench with a bunch of tools and a radial saw. He added on

for those in this thread excusing the touch bar how would you feel if apple replaced the entire keyboard with a large touch surface like typing on an iPad. Great idea? Can't wait? Or Ugh?

I certainly agree that the money (publishers, funding) is going to likely chase what's making money. Games that are free with in app purchased are making way more money than games that aren't. I don't know if Fornite has any

By WebAssembly only I don't mean you can't call it from JS. I mean rather it's designed for Wasm not for JS. JS is generally event oriented. Native C/C++ games are usually spinloop+polling oriented. With the current desi

Aren't there plenty of games that don't follow those pas patterns? I played PS4 God of War. It was amazing and had none of those features.

I love the idea and added a topic here https://www.kialo.com/macos-and-windows-should-sandbox-all-a... Some comments: The site seems designed for desktop first. The fancy radial graph doesn't seem to appear on mobile.

I use Google Photo's image recognition all the time. I wish it was 1000x better but it's still amazing. I uploaded about 120k photos including all my father's photos I had scanned. (about 4000) I injured my toe when I was 10y

from a user perspective that seems like a complete win. I'm not quite convinced the marginal value of offering that data is worth any kind of compensation. Movie times seems like something movie theaters would want to give out for free
