That’s not why. There’s a very high chance Valve is actively working on new standalone VR since some years, there are regular leaks confirming some progress.

I guess it stuck as “this one kind halfway between mid and high end” card .

I think it’s Golden Rabbit Edition, which used to mean this was a variant dedicated for the Chinese market.

They’re not hacktivists, they’re just assholes.

6 years of Android version updates

Terrible headline. It’s not record-breaking even for Samsung.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That’s where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here’s a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don’t think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.

It’s made by folks that once worked on the original Opera (back when it was still good).

Basing their new browser on Chromium is unfortunate, but the spirit of old Opera is there: customizability and focus on features for power users.

It’s the browser I’d be using if I abandoned Firefox for whatever reason.

Much better than not reporting and wondering why the issues never get fixed.

XVI != XIV :)

It’s not even about the lower specs, it’s the optimization in general.

My PC is a little old, but still fine for most games up to medium settings.
But when I tried FF XVI, which is mentioned in the article, I couldn’t get anything close to acceptable performance with everything turned as low as possible and looking like shit.

Sure you can. wink wink 🏴‍☠️

I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn’t really a market for used games.

Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.

It’s not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you’re likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The “own your games” ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.

That’s a very… capitalist way of thinking.

Also, fun fact: Kagi owner believes only criminals want privacy and GDPR doesn’t apply to them, because they said so!

It’s not, corporations’ bad faith interpretation of the law doesn’t make it legal.

My “pretty low end device” is an Android, which they do not support. :/

Well, “not to be confused”, but the same page says AAVE is just a dialect of AAE, so mostly not much of a difference, I think.
