The sheer amount of utility Connect has on iOS is insane. It’s starting to compete with handoff and iCloud sharing with how many features they’re recreating.
Reminds me of when I played Rainbow 6 when it came out. After 2 years, they just nerfed everything fun to the ground to try and be more of an esport. Really glad Smash and Splatoon never did that.
Halo: Reach aged very well despite being the black sheep of the excellent OG Halo Trilogy. The more faster pace, exceptional visuals (how this was done on a 360 I do not know), and absurd customizability keep it running today, especially with Forge, Custom sandbox, and now mod support. Everything being coop + splitscreen helps too.
The VC money has gone to good though, like audits and open source code. A lot of the money they get is from company deals with bitwarden buisness anyway. As long as that works out, I can’t see them screwing over anyone while they have a money stream. If they do screw up, exporting to KeyPassXC is super easy anyway.
eSports are essentially on the decline. A ton of players were let go, Faze is in danger of being delisted from the stock market, CLG just died, and there’s a bit of a recession. It just never made any money, and the VC loans eventually caught up to all the esports teams.
You don’t need an entire VM just for Apple Music! There’s an open source client for it available on Mac and Linux. They just dropped development, but it still works. https://github.com/ciderapp/Cider/releases/tag/v1.6.2
This isn't allowing non-webkit browsers, it's just Mozilla saying they'll make a sideloaded version if they can. Unfortunately, iOS 17 didn't add sideloading, and it looks like Apple is programming iPhones to explicitly restrict it to the European Union :(
Not really, and thanks to iOS browser extensions (exclusive to Safari because apple), the few additions other browsers had are now avaliable on Safari.
It's best to use Safari anyway because close to everyone on iOS uses it. This makes it harder to fingerprint someone, because they all have the same general browser ID.
I'd follow the Privacy Guides safari config. It hardens Safari and adds the best privacy extension to block ads and tracking. It's the best for iOS private browsing right now.
Right now, it really looks like handheld gaming is cornered by Nintendo and Valve. The steam deck is way more reliable and appealing compared to the windows handhelds, and the switch is the switch.
This makes me worried, Charles they he wanted to voice Mario until he died. I’m hoping the video clears things up.
