On the contrary. There is an ongoing DoJ antitrust case against Apple with a long list of grievances. Most of those were already addressed by Apple (since the case was filed a pretty long time ago) the rest will be tested in the courtroom i

Epic lost on 9 counts out of 10 in the original lawsuit. The one they won is being appealed and in the process Fortnight was ordered to be reinstated in the US. I wouldn't bet that this arrangement will survive appeals.

It's the second time today when I see that the higher number of LoC is served as something positive. I would put it strictly in "Ugly" category. I understand the business logic that says that as long as you can vibe code away

Want to mention that not all German ISPs participate in IP-infringing content blocking. I use one that does not.

For the major part BYD sales performance is dependent on government subsidies in the country where they sell three quarters of all the cars they produce. That is a high risk factor investors don't like.

Can you please elaborate on how iPhones are instruments of mass surveillance?

Probably not, as the same rules were applied to Apple devices in EU earlier, and no third party browser engines appeared. But right now you can use uBlock origin lite in Safari. Or any other of multitude of other adblockers.

And what's your opinion if the law would oblige the companies to remove features their products have like tracking transparency popups? Two countries' courts already fined Apple for enforcing a popup that warns users about trackin

What do you expect this law will to achieve?

I wonder why the author doesn't use IL2CPP and sticks to Mono. IL2CPP does produce much faster code, making Mono builds obsolete. This should be the very first step you do if you care at all about performance in Unity.

After seeing Swift's result I had to look into the source to confirm that yes, it was not written by someone who knows the language. But this is a good benchmark results that demonstrate what performance level can you expect from every

In modern game development practice you will have to download patches anyway, so whatever there's on disk is irrelevant. Hardware has nothing to do with that.

The difference between this and "will have an option to enable AI features" shows what the development resources will be focused on. I mean, f** JPEG XL support; we have a bigger investment fish to fry

Witness for me is one of the best puzzle games ever. If you are into that genre it is very hard to dislike it by any measure. But of course, puzzles might not be your cup of tea.

I hope the game will be released with the language.

It's a defence mechanism against account hijacking if someone has access to your phone number, linked to your account. Went through the same procedure to recover an account I haven't been using for a few years.

The one very visible trend in the last 30 years of game development was about reducing input complexity. It has nothing to do with complexity of games themselves. Now instead of fighting clunky controls like in good old times you fight game
