  • Especially because you don’t have to deal with updates. I hate that pop-up every time I open the app.

  • Phones are a slightly different story. Edges do help grip, and ensure product stability (which is essential on a phone). Additionally their smaller form factor means ergonomics don’t come into play as much as a game controller.

  • The product designer for this needs to be fired. Anyone who’s held a controller for an extended period of time knows these hard corners will kill your hands.

  • Not saying it’s a better implementation, but Safari already does this.

  • This is an idiotic argument. Lyme disease can cause extensive and chronic suffering. A cold is rarely fatal, but if you were going to live for a year with one, you’d probably be miserable.

    Anything that can make a positive change in our lives should be regarded as exactly that. Yes, there are other problems out there, but sometimes we need to invest into smaller ones to better how we are able to deal with the larger ones. Disease research and study is a perfect example of this, as better understanding builds a pathway to future successes.

  • If you’re referring to forcing Edge, W11 sysreq, and insisting on having trackers turned on, all of these are combatable due to the openness of the OS. Xbox is mostly a closed platform, so it can’t be changed even if you wanted to.

  • Part of it is probably the perceived legal liability, but another is Microsoft sees the user interest in this type of games and wants to make money off of it. That’s why this announcement comes shortly after the release of Antstream Arcade (which has been added to game pass so they make money from sales there in addition to the portion they take from each purchase). It’s some of the most anti-consumer behavior we’ve seen from Microsoft in recent memory.

  • This is completely anti-consumer. A few months ago Microsoft removed free applications similar (and better) than this from their store, only to then turn around and release a paid option because they want more of your money. I wish the developers of these applications had the financial backing required to pursue legal action to a result similar to the Apple v Epic Games lawsuit.

  • It could be semi-public details. A google search and someone’s social media can give you a lot of information on a person, depending on how safe their internet practices are. Generally all you need are two or three details to find out more personal information if you wanted to.

  • Check for apps that are running in the background after you have closed everything.

  • It would depend on the type of phone. Is it an iPhone or Android?

  • Where are your browser tabs located? I would generally keep everything except those bottom-centric for the sake of visual gravity. Given that I access my tabs a lot, they need to be opposite to my taskbar so I don’t accidentally activate it. A for creativity.
