rxyz··on Steam can't escape the fallout from its censorship controversy
I think Valve will not accept crypto unless they run out of options. They don't accept any games that use NFT's on their platform and haven't added crypto top-ups to this day, even though it would be simple for them via providers like Stripe
rxyz··on Apple pulls data protection tool after UK government security row
the whole point of ADP is that they cannot provide access

rxyz··on Valve is testing ARM64 support for popular games
> Neither smartphones nor Macs have been powerful or ergonomic enough to play current-generation games for decades. So the user base is almost entirely people who don’t play games.

Current Macs and iOS devices are powerful enough. There's a handful of developers shipping full current-gen games to both platforms.

rxyz··on Godot on iPad, Toolbars, Importers, Embedding, Debugger
To add: I found the M4 iPad Pro keyboard to be a better typing experience than my MacBook Pro keyboard or the standalone Magic Keyboard
rxyz··on US hospital told family their daughter had checked out when in fact she'd died
News flash - most doctors all over the world are doing it for money and status. It's a job.

Try Vivaldi, it has something like that
rxyz··on When Apple takes the European Commission for fools: An initial overview
They arent taking that away. No one is going to force you to sideload because most people won't sideload. Only a few Android apps aren't on the play store even though sideloading is very easy.
rxyz··on Coding in Vision Pro
Most programmers are anything but outsiders. It's not a niche profession anymore

Why public transport in one of the richest cities in the world isn't clean and safe?
rxyz··on Perfectly good M1 MacBooks are being scrapped because of Activation Lock [video]
I'd love to have a cheap used M1 macbook to play with.. but at the same time those activation locks are useful and gave me better resell value for my apple stuff.

Still sucks because there are people who just cant afford a brand new Apple laptop but would make great use of a used Apple Silicon macbook. Instead they are going to get a used thinkpad/inspiron because those are resold for cheap instead of being scrapped. Wasted opportunity for Apple to get people hooked in the ecosystem

rxyz··on Meta has started its latest round of layoffs, focusing on business groups
Unfortunately, some of them are buying even more. I know Google spent at least 4B on purchasing office real estate in 2022, probably more
rxyz··on Asus Ally Emulates PS3, Nintendo Switch, Xbox 360 with Ease
Basically, if $600-700 is nothing to you then go ahead and buy one. It's new and shiny, faster than a Deck and has a nice screen. Maybe it won't break before a new gen arrives

If you want something that lasts, Steam Deck is a better pick

Xbox Series X has that feature, you can even suspend multiple games at once

This comment is so ignorant and America-centric that it made me angry. Wow
