The case was that Google paid apps to not be on competing stores and only be on the Play store. It’s not a lawsuit around Android sideloading.

Still ironic though that Epic games is the main proponent, but yet they do the exact same thing on their store paying for exclusives.

We should ban phones as well because people get scam calls.

There’s basically no reason ever to do water cooling on a home system unless you’re trying to do overclocking.

Air is cheaper, more reliable, and typically quieter because you don’t need pumps.

Steam isn’t a monopoly.

The PC is an open platform, you can use any game store or launcher you want - unlike the iPhone, Android (without sideloading), PlayStation, switch, or Xbox.

My personal opinion, as soon as you’re charging and providing SLAs you’ve exceeded what you should be doing on a residential ISP.

I’d really recommend putting your app in a real cloud solution, which can provide actual load balancing via DNS natively for regional failover if you desire.

Valve makes money whether you use windows or Linux - that’s probably more their attitude.

An outdated idea that oled burns in quickly.

Modern oled technology is amazing, but some people forget LCDs also burn in (albeit slower).

CPU is pretty much irrelevant to GPU choice.

Personally I wouldn’t buy any recent intel CPU with the dishonesty and major flaws in their products as of late, but that’s up to you to decide - AMD’s most recent CPUs haven’t been amazing either, but don’t have hardware flaws at least.

I’ve actually been to this place in Ireland.

The owner is super nice and the lambs are cute. There’s also some ancient huts next door you can see, as well as petting collies.
