It was basically a faster 7 (also less hungry). Universally hated Metro stuff can be get rid of easily. Plus it had better forward compatibility - I could run some apps that said to require windows 10 which I knew didn't work on 7.

Worse. Steam is basically built on top of CEF, which is not much better than Electron.

It's amazing how deep Chromium (and web tech in general) got into everything. Microsoft - which I regarded for how light and well optimized Windows 8.1 was - went from using Chromium for Edge to using it basically everywhere. Latest observation is how you open Copilot app, chat a little and see how it eats 4 GB of RAM and lags like hell, on a higher end business laptop.

There is a way to "turn it off" with some search parameters. However there is no guarantee that the AI is not consuming resources at the backend.

Nah I'm just Russian. Our government is an example of a problem, they tried to manipulate Apple and Google, and was successful to some extent.

And I would welcome that. Most other people will probably not though.

The problem is how government entities dictate media corporations what to do. This time it's pro-consumer, the other time it might not be so.

And what happens if we don't stop it soon? They will attack... Russia or something?

With all respect for people who hate Apple (myself included), this doesn't look like how penalties should work. I doubt there are adequate standards of how an entity like EU can request any percentage of global revenue from anyone. What would you do if you request any more than Apple considers adequate and decides it's more profitable to just leave your market?

With all that is happening in the world, someone decides to spend time to make a meme about NATO being a bad guy?

With "optimized for gaming" premise? That's obviously nothing more than "hey we decided to allow you to terminate resource hungry explorer/copilot/edge when you play".

SotN is great but I really liked GBA and NDS games more. They are less complex but also somehow make more sense overall, and are less frustrating for my taste. The only one I would say is safe to skip is Harmony of Dissonance.

It's arch...

Yeah but its downside right now is that it doesn't really support latest tech, since it is not based on latest Linux. Wish they would change that because I seriously consider SteamOS for my next gaming PC.

That must be on MacOS programmers. See WOW64.

I heard they are irrelevant for Proton as it has its own fsync.

So it's actually the whole cause of the issue? If Valve shifts to 64bit then there would be no issue? Or is there a limitation that would then prevent 32bit games from working?

And what if Valve starts releasing 64bit version?

Hey that's me there, and I say do Valve too. They are special but that kind of public discussion through court won't hurt anyone.

I meant the requirements are tailored to Google devices basically. Anyway, Google Pixels are about 5% of android market if I'm not mistaken. Is it worth it? If yes then I'm sure targeting pretty much any other maker would also worth it.

My advice: lower the requirements, and focus on real issues and real expectations from users. It appears GrapheneOS's default settings were useless against that latest loopback tracking by Meta.

Privacy risk is like "Google is constantly spying on me". Security risk is like "a hacker next door is waiting for a next 0day to drop to get my passwords and photos". Guess which of these is a real threat in most people's eyes?

Maybe it's just me but those "very reasonable hardware requirements" look like they can be handled only by huge corporations directly involved with Android development.

If you expect to have stuff patched within a week, it should tell me you expect all those unpatched devices are going to be heavily impacted after a week. It doesn't look like a lot of massive security incidents are happening to Android devices in recent years because some vendor delayed a patch by a week. I understand high standards, but if some user also expects high standards why shouldn't they expect their devices patched within a day? Only explanation is that most people care about privacy risks much more than about security risks.
