  • If steam is included, 12b is a joke, if just valves game rights, meaning HL and CS, then the price is not THAT stupid (still quite).

    Maybe this would be the way go get HL3, it would ofc be horrible cashgrab, but HL3 would be out.

    Edit: bit details, in 2021 Valve had $10b revenue from steam, and $3b revenue from other sources (heh, source, get it)

  • Not everything has to be foss, it is in company's best interest to not make it as malware. In last 20 years that I have had TS installed on my server and client, have I had it act like malware. Discord in the other hand has instantly caused issues. Not saying that TS3 doesn't have had bugs, ofc it has had.

  • Nokia was lead by engineers, which was it's strength, but eventually also caused it's downfall. This is why these things were so good.

    Engineers told that the fullscreen displays without keyboard is never as good as physical keyboard.

    Engineers told that 1 day battery life is not enough, the system need to be designed so that it can last a week.

    They were right.

    BUT apple's marketing and slick design convinced the American market that you can give up on those features. Nokia could easily made the same design, but didn't because engineers thought that users need those features. When they turned ship and accepted it, apple had its foot between the door already.

  • Nokia should have continued developing the Linux Qt system maemo/meego. I was working with it as subcontractor in Nokia, and it was awesome. The Qt/C++ was really fast to code, and you could basically port KDE apps into it with small effort.

    If they would have continued with it, we could have had three major OS in phones.

    I was leading architect in internal UI design tools, and the tools had features that android/apple toolsets not even now have. Mainly because you could run the Qt app with PC hardware without any emulation.

  • Firefox for Android, AdBlock, Firefox -> Chrome user agent fake plugin. Works very well without any ads or issues.

    This supports PiP which is YouTube premium feature.

    I would jump ship instantly to something better if the content would be there.
