Some people might have issue with their push into LLM AIs with their Assistant. I personally don’t care for it and am happy that by not using it I’m not subsidising other peoples use of the paid APIs they use. But I’ve seen some people take issue with the development time being taken up by it at all.

Please look into it. You are already breaking Disney's copyright just with this post, and if you ever hope this product Disney's lawyers would have a very easy case here.

They most likely are, but Microsoft actually does allow sideloading on Xbox in some capacity.

This article is about the click-through data from Google though, and an URL bar is not a search engine. To the point that all modern browsers just redirect you to a search engine when you write random stuff in the url bar.

The European definition of "freedom of speech" interestingly also differs compared to the American one in a very similar way.

Wouldn't the better solution be to rely on the heatsink temperature instead of on the chip/core temperature then? I mean in the end, the air from the fan is cooling the heat sink, not the chip directly.

This entire mindset is wrong and is exactly what the DMA is trying to address. Apple, Google and other big tech companies aren't just small random companies whose product you can switch between every time they do something you dislike. Due to a lack of interoperability there's huge switching cost associated. They're digital gatekeepers with platform effects massively working in their favor.

NSA will order Apple to pair that part if they decide to swap it and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

If instead of VIN-locking they just notified you a differenr part was swapped out, you could go get some part from a trustworthy third party and replace that potentially back-doored part yourself.

Traditional VC companies wouldn't work because they'll always enshittify. Even on consumer space, you can see enshittification from MS, Sony and Apple. I really don't see a reason why the companies you listed would need that 2% royalty at all honestly. They already get the 30% from the sales themselves, and could very well financially support the existence of an OSS game engine with no extra royalties. Sony and MS already develop the Unity and Unreal integration for their platforms without charging extra royalties.

The devs using the OSS engine also wouldn't be stopped from spending resources on making the engine better for their uses (and in turn, making it also better for everyone), similarly how it works with Linux.

I mean on a core level all computers are all equivalent, since they're all just Turing-complete Von Neumann machines. Anything and everything that can be done on one computer can be transformed to achieve the same on a different architecture. The potential here doesn't just mean different instructions though, it means getting out of ARMs vendor lock-in and for the CPU manufacturers not being forced to pay the licencing fees for the instruction set.

I use an iPad exclusively at home on a couch/in bed. It's really great for low effort media consumption/web browsing, but I couldn't imagine bringing it with me somewhere instead of just taking a laptop. Even for media consumption on a train or airplane, I prefer a laptop because of it being easier to prop up in a cramped space.
