Apple faces 'strong action' if App Store changes fall short, EU's Breton says
  • Glad they’ve said something, even if it’s just “we’ll see”. I was worried Tim had cleared this malicious compliance with Vestager when he met her.

    CES 2024 | Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid sticks Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1-powered tablet on top of an Intel Meteor Lake laptop
  • Something similar was announced years ago, when hybrids were just kicking off, but Google or Microsoft put a stop to it. Big brand too, like Asus or Acer but I can’t find it without the name.

    Apple introduces new Apple Pencil
  • No pressure sensitivity being the biggest missing feature. It’s fine to have options, but once the Lightning Pencil inevitably dies off, the only option for pressure will be to upgrade both your pencil and iPad to a higher end model that supports Pencil 2nd Gen; there’ll be no lower cost option for Artists just starting out.

    Microsoft to sell off Activision cloud gaming rights to Ubisoft in bid for UK approval
  • Didn’t spot that at all, thanks for pointing it out. I can see them just developing with other platforms in mind then, unless that fee is large enough to cover all the porting costs involved.

    Microsoft to sell off Activision cloud gaming rights to Ubisoft in bid for UK approval
  • Ubisoft get the non-windows streaming rights to Activision games… so what happens with any Acti games that don’t have a PS5 or a Switch port? That means Microsoft maintain exclusivity on a title purely by not porting it to other consoles.

    They’ll definitely port Call of Duty and likely any other multiplayer titles, but I can’t see them porting any single player games or new IPs they develop.

    Left thumbstick feeling funny?
  • Just FYI (and in case anyone runs out to buy an Elite Controller for the joysticks), the Elite doesn’t use Hall effect sticks, it’s no different to the standard controller other than tension adjustment.
