The author of a detective novel cannot prevent the reader from skipping to the end of the novel to find out who the killer is, even if that would spoil the pleasure of reading and ruin the author’s efforts to maintain suspense.

That’s fucking gold.



They have touted for a long time their false equivalency that restriction equals security. If they backtrack on that (I believe) they believe they will lose customers. In reality their fanbase will likely stick with them because that’s what they know and the added functionality will make their offerings a more appealing product.

Now that Europe is forcing their hand on some of this we can see the impacts it will have on their market growth in the coming years. There are other factors that impact this potential shift in market share too:

  • Is your current phone still working
  • Have you had a lot of problems with your current phone or phone manufacturer
  • Are you willing to ignore Apple’s past regresses in anticipation of actually being able to use their hardware as you wish

I side load. That’s why I stick to Android. If they get rid of that I need to find something else. Restricting what your users can do is actually a bad business process and the key thing keeping me away from Apple. If Apple were to actually open their systems and start respecting their users they would get more customers.

I have not. I’m mostly doing webdev on it and it works fine for that. I honestly don’t even need the dedicated GPU. If there’s something you’d like me to run lmk and I’ll see if I can find time for it. I’m running Debian stable on it and it’s the i7-12700H with an RTX A1000 and 32GB 4800MHz RAM version.


I got a Gen 5 - 21DDS70700 from Newegg shortly before the Gen 7 was released. I originally bought a refurbished higher end model from their outlet store but they sent the wrong model so I returned it. It is built and performs well and has a great screen and keyboard.


I’d love an AMD P1 as well. I just bought a P1 after looking at their offerings for a while and while I did look into their AMD offerings they just seemed to have intentionally neutered them.


Why can you win awards for games that are still under development? Doesn’t that indicate the game isn’t finished and you’re rewarding something that people might not necessarily see?


By allowing more people access to your games, more people have access to your games to purchase … with money … that goes to you and helps your business’s bottom line.


A terrifically hard audience to serve given the variety of incompatible configurations.

If your game doesn’t work with my fully functional operating system (while others do), isn’t it literally your game that’s “incompatible?”


You can do that with an alternative launcher. They didn’t require root and there are some that are made to be very similar to the pixel launcher just with more settings.

I use lawn chair and have the search bar hidden normally, but it appears for local app only search when I swipe up.


Maybe “Black Ice” or “Remember Me?”


Sanctum 2 is a bit older, but it holds up as a solid FPS tower defense hybrid. It’s often on sale for around $4. The dlc is also well worth it, doubling the base game content.

The fuck you mean “how did this happen?”

Steam didn’t allow adult games then they did. So now there’s adult games.


Give it a go! It’s like 100MB and you just extract the engine from a zip.
