That's a terrible definition, but "codes" is doing the heavy lifting.

It is not a code, in that definition, if it does not require knowledge of a key to decode.

It is literally impossible for anything that doesn't have a secret key to qualify as cryptography. That is the entire defining trait.

Apple hasn't called it AR.

But it absolutely is AR. If you can see the real world in real time, with additional information on top of it, that's AR. Your requirement that it not be on a screen is completely arbitrary and has no basis behind it whatsoever.

Wow that's hilariously idiotic.

Because it's a giant one.

There is no valid interpretation of cryptography that resembles the way you defined it in any way.

If the source isn't available at all, yeah. Which is why I brought up the FTC to begin with (since Google is in the US).

But I doubt they'd act if the license isn't permissive enough.

A handheld that can play real 3D games was a hell of a selling point. It basically single handedly made the Steam Deck happen.

They also have ring fit and labo.

The FTC takes action against false advertising.

"Open Source" doesn't have a singular legally relevant definition no matter what organizations claim otherwise, though.

You provided a definition that doesn't even loosely resemble the correct one.

There's no need to use words you don't understand, especially when they're wildly unrelated to whatever you're saying. They just add confusion.

From the perspective of the employee it basically is a gift (more a benefit).

Employees don't pay for stock in an ESOP; they're earned by being employed there (with different options for how they're divided, but restrictions so they aren't excessively dominated by the highest earners).

If the word “cryptography” here is what throws anyone off, it’s not some advanced field of study, it just refers to the physical manifestation of messaging, which a child can get behind.

No it doesn't. Cryptography is specifically encoding messages in a way that is hard for someone without the specific secret key to decode, even if they know the methodology.

You know the story isn't between moves in combat (with rare exceptions)?

A lot of video game writing is bad, but computers allow storytelling that isn't possible through other mediums. BG3 is choose your own adventure but actually good.

Also: read books for your stories. 😉👍

For first party stuff, Nintendo launches finished games (though Sony does too).

For third party, cartridges are expensive enough that it's not uncommon at all for companies to straight up make a bunch of content download only. A lot of "multiple game" collections only put some of the games on the cartridge (not counting the ones that tie some to keys).

Facebook can and will.

The entire reason they don't on Android is because there's literally no benefit to it.

I'm not talking about permissions.

I'm talking about their store policies. Google is far more permissive about malicious behavior than Apple is. Companies that have no reason to bypass the play store because it already allows them to spy to an obscene degree will bypass the App Store when given the opportunity, because it does not.

Lol they're a very distant third, and none of this is going to convince anyone to buy an Xbox.

Ignoring any debate on the merits of exclusives generally, this is "lol their console tanked so bad they have to start to put their games onto other platforms to make the revenue they want".

I don‘t see a reason why these cardridges wouldn‘t work in 20 years anymore.

Because, just like discs, they're a crappy pre-launch build that relies on day one patches or additional content to actually work correctly.

I would be shocked if the newer versions don't have a software hack way before that.

The fact that the first version was easy to hack made later versions lower priority, but at some point for the sake of preservation or to have the OLED, the new ones will catch up.

Because Google already lets apps do anything they want no matter how malicious. There's no reason to leave the Play Store.

Apple has people sneak past their rules on occasion because screening is hard, but they have and enforce rules that protect your privacy that malware companies like Facebook don't want to follow.

To turn every comment, no matter how on topic, into obnoxious spam.

Yeah, a game cheating to carry me sounds like a complete fucking nightmare to me.
