Hey, at least Windows has really good backwards compatibility.

Agree, thats fair.

Yep I found out myself pretty quickly. With a simple App which was maybe 10K lines of code I started targeting Android 10 and so far every new major version caused some issue with the code as Google constantly messes around with files, permissions, ...

I can't imagine what a task it is to maintain a game.

As a hobbist App developer I can tell its probably at least to some extent due to the ongoing "cost" to keep the Apps hosted and working.

Every year when a new Android beta comes out you have to go through your App, check if everything still works only to then discover something broke and now you gotta figure out how to fix it.

With a small App I hosted starting at Android 10 every major update so far caused me some trouble. Now with Android 14 this is the last version I'll support for the simple fact that I don't have the time to keep up with it.

And mind you this was a rather simple small App, I can't imagine what a headache it is to maintain a game.

Don't worry its January

Ok, VW what can you tell me about Dieselgate

Also just plain and simply "forbidden" in regular modern German.

Elon "Free speech absolutist" Musk.

iPads : I'm once again asking you to download a calculator app from the app store

He got a draft letter and is on the run

Simply put - no its not! I would try to return it and get her an Honor phone. Honors "Magic UI" Software is very simmilar to EMUI on Huawei phones but they still have Google Play Services.

Also big "enterprise" Software usually becomes slow due to fundamental issues or issues in the architecture.

For example I worked on maintaining an old Java EE project and people there constantly made multiple sequencial HTTP requests despite the requests not being dependent on one another.

Depends on your situation if thats useful but almost all Android phones support Ethernet USB Adapters. If you got a cable you can plug into you can get great numbers when moving stuff to a network drive.

Mobile SoCs are wild. These geekbench scores are on par with my i7 work laptop in multicore and beat it in single core performance.

I was making a joke about CS2, TF2 and Dota 2

Especially TF2 however since they show 0 care to that game but still milk it.

Ah sorry, thought you implied that its an outdated view.

Exactly, its so wild how the gaming sheepherd got up in arms about NFTs and microtransactions when this shit existed for years in CS:GO, TF2 and Dota 2 and was 100% tollerated.

Also TF2 - the balls of this company to add new cases and cosmetics while the game was overrun with hackers and bots... my lord!

To implement NFT Microtransaction RNG lootboxes into their games while letting them rott?

Did he/she lie? Steam is not even the least bad launcher. GOG offers DRM free games that don't even require a launcher.

Also don't forget that Valve probaly insane ammount of money with Microtransactions and Lootboxes and has essentially implemented NFTs into their games (without a blockchain) years before that word even existed.

Pretty hypocritical for the "Adblocking is piracy" guy to now imply piracy is ok.

Its so obvious this millionaire is trying to keep up his "I'm one of you, guys" persona.
