Yes. Have you ever used Apple TV? This thing is leaps and bounds ahead everything of else, even Shield in terms of pure performance.

Even if things go well it will be one thing at a time probably. This news doesn’t sound big because Google is so big but for businesses dependent on Google infrastructure this is a major win, no?

My perspective might be skewed since I live in EU and we mostly won right to our data and privacy.

I meant “next big corpo beaten into submission by regulators”. I don’t think Epic gave up on them yet.

Apple TV doesn’t try to do much other than being a very technically capable passthrough. You get pretty much every streaming service, multiple Plex clients etc. And no ads.

My 1st Gen ATV4K is 7 years old now and was buttery smooth until last tvOS update, now it’s only slightly smoother than most high end TVs. That’s quite a good run.

Just disconnect your TV from the Internet and get an Apple TV.

Google is big enough to be considered a monopoly in mobile phone operating systems. Play Store is technically a separate service / business which enjoys unfair advantage of being installed by default. I think this approach might be good because it’s better for user experience (unlike EU web browser thing for example) and has a good shot at postiviely affecting power balance between app developers and platform owner.

I’m curious how this will play out. Apple should be next obviously.

CERN is so huge they do a lot of non-core research so that they improve their tooling, academic processes etc. This is how we got World Wide Web for example.

I’m confused, what’s the topic?

They say it runs better but isn’t that because it hovers around 35 fps on PS4 and is locked to 30 on PS5 (as it should have been on PS4)? Some of comparisons are in the yikes territory though.

That’s why there are less and less early adopters overall. Big tech cut the branch they were sitting on years ago and we’ve been in a free fall ever since.

Mine is ultra low voltage and I barely maintain it so this article gave me a bit of a scare. I’ll probably wipe it by the next reinstall anyway since it’s been nearly 10 years of Ubuntu LTS upgrades and it’s a mess (both what I’ve done to it and what Ubuntu has done to itself).

Security updates are usually provided for a long time even if in a trickle.

That’s still 2.5k fully saturated 400mbps connections. As far as I know this kind of approach wouldn’t work since you’d easily block them - you need craploads of bots all around the world for this to not be defeated by a smart firewall.

It’s terabits, not gigabits :)

Symmetrical connections are not that common so pulling this much upload from infected machines seems impressive.

They introduced Shorts because TikTok threatens their monopoly. TikTok raised max length some time ago so they do it too. Now US is going to ban TT and they’re trying to clone some easy to implement stuff in hopes of getting users that won’t move to Instagram. Don’t see that happening because Google doesn’t understand what makes TT so popular. It’s kind of funny that TT recently implemented horizontal videos and it’s as half-assed as Google attempt at vertical ones.

I was extremely surprised that Apple let Christian publish this originally, they have blocked alternative YouTube clients for years. At the time I thought that Apple is doing this to spite Google who didn’t release native app for VisionOS. Christian had a good relationship with Apple and could deliver something high quality so there’s that too. Curious that they changed their mind but it’s safe to assume Apple and Google had to work it out.

That would be par for the course of my life decisions.

That’s the reason I’m rooting for everyone, including China, to do well with domestic chipmaking. Makes everyone have little less reason to try this modern day mutually assured destruction.

They won’t stop piracy ever but they can also make it as inconvenient as possible. You treat it like a game of cat and mouse while 90% of society uses adblock because someone told them how to do that.

You’re getting angry at a company and capitalism in general. Big techs should be broken up and regulated up to their tits. In the current legal framework they don’t owe you anything and are well within their rights to put up a fight though. They won’t do anything out of good of their hearts because companies don’t have one.
