they promised Windows 10 would be the “last Windows,” too.
Iirc, they didn’t. There was one person who didn’t really have the authority to make such claims say something that could have been understood as win 10 is the last windows.
I hate to defend Microsoft, they’re an awful company, but this just was never really true.
There is a nearly zero percent chance that the game developers are also cloud experts
Well yeah, that’s why you would put some cloud experts on the project besides the game devs if you’re doing things like this. It’s not just game developers working on the game.
Doesn’t even have to be people feom the Azure team. Microsoft has plenty of resources to teach someone to be a cloud expert in other branches, they even offer certifications for outside people, surely they can manage a few of their own.
Yeah it definitely varies per person, and I think you can even train for it somewhat.
I used to play a lot of guitar hero, and I think this improved my visual “latency” a lot, to the point where I could definitely tell when something was visually 5-10ms out of sync (in the case of guitar hero, when you strum the bar vs when the note lines up with the strikeline).
Wait what? There isn’t even a pixel tablet 2 yet, why are they talking about a third
Yeah iirc WhatsApp does show a warning when you first set it up with an unlocked bootloader, but you can just continue anyway.
Yeah it is possible, GrapheneOS flashes their own verified boot key when you install it. This also means you have to reset these keys if you want to go back to stock.
I’m not sure why lineageos doesn’t do this, might just be a lot of work for all the devices they support. GrapheneOS only has to support the last couple of pixels after all.
That’s gotta be a Nokia thing. I’ve been listening to music with do not disturb on when sleeping for years, never been an issue on samsung, oneplus, huawei, or pixel phones I’ve had.
Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?
“The changes would put consumers’ privacy and security at risk, make it harder for developers to promote their apps, and reduce competition on devices,” Google said in a statement.
Lmao I’m pretty sure it would do the exact opposite of all of those things.
Afaik that only applies if the app is processing payments, which in this case it shouldnt be.
True, but that just means no more contactless. They don’t entirely block you out of the app afaik, like many other foreign banks I’ve seen do.
McDonald’s was just an example, the point is most apps don’t need to do that at all.
I do happen to know how payment systems like that work, and thankfully those are all cloud-based, the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid. If they implemented it well, as I suspect a big corpo like McDonald’s probably would, their own order screen also checks server-side if orders are paid. Not much you can do from the app side to mess with that.
Oh I don’t know if mcdonald’s specifically does this, I’ve never used the app, I just used it as an example because that’s what the guy above was talking about as well.
Fortunately so far I haven’t come across a bank here in the Netherlands that wouldn’t work because my phone was rooted or because I’m running grapheneos. Hope it stays that way too.
It’s the same system, it’s all part of play integrity. And that also applies to this bullshit, why does McDonald’s care if I didn’t install their app from the play store?
Not a single app on my phone was installed through Google Play, it’s all Aurora. Guess if apps really do this i’ll just have to stop using them, cause I’m not installing the play store.
They did credit Paradox, found the image here:

Which makes it even weirder, it’s not even ai generated.
Ngl i think I’d prefer just entering a password once manually over Google doing some magic bullshit to make it work across devides.
I usually put them in /media, so my games drive for example lives in /media/games.
Seems to mostly fit with the usual external media that gets mounted there.
I think on Mac os when you shake the cursor, it amimates to a big size and then back down to normal just once. I guess that’s what they mean? (Haven’t used Mac os in quite some time though so I might be wrong)
