There are new AAA games on Android? I know there are a bunch of upcomming "PC emulator" Apps but that shouldn't count.

This is one of the best things about PC gaming. I already have played two other "revived" games from my childhood extensivley in the past - NFS World and Battlefield Heroes.

Last time I checked ARM v7 is not the issue, there are still up to date builds available from Chrome itsself or Brave, rather Android 6 is. Google seems to have a cycle where roughly every fall they drop another Android version.

Right now the minium requirement is Anroid 8 and if the cycle continues it will loose support in a few months and Android 9 will be the new minimum requirement.

However I also have a a few Android 6 or 7 devices and usually firefox runs fine on them if they at least have two proper large CPU cores. But using two year old Chromium based browsers, I never ran into any sites that wouldn't work correctly.

Where my LG homies at?

Black Ops 2 had a pretty simple solution. A playlist where half the players on each team are pretty weak bots. I played this mode more than the regular 6v6 MP because it didn't force everyone to use the same 4 meta guns to do well.

So its easier now to unlock these rare prize cars now? That might pull me back in.

But why?

nah, just search for brave beta 108 Android 6 Arm V7. Thats the last Android 6 build and 99% of sites work just fine.

You close Tango the developers behind your only recent good game, but keep 343 open. Ok Phil.

Only OS that costs money. Truly a Premium experience.

3 mobs in one update? Do we look like a bunch of unpaid modders who get their work broken after every game update because of our inability to develop a modding api.

No bro, Xbox isn't evil anymore. Phil Spencer is a good guy and Gamepass is the "best deal in gaming"./s

On serious note there is some legit reason to do something like this. Things like the Cronos Max or Rapid fire controllers are a legit problem in multiplayer games because they are hardware cheats essentially.

But they could have created an API that allows games to check if a unoffical device is detected if that is the reason.

Just happened to me the other day at THE worst possible moment. I bought a new mainboard which needed a BIOS update to work with my new CPU.

Me of course being a cheapskate I bought the cheapest one with no Bios flashback. So I put the files on a cheap USB, start the upate and compleatly bricked the mainboard.

After that I plugged the USB back into my PC and the fking USB corrupted the files.

Luckily I managed to save the BIOS but absolutley lost it in that moment.

No shit. And get this - The iPhone 7 did have enough space for a headphone jack.

A lot people compleatly overrate the amount of math required. Like its probably a week since I used a aritmetic operator.

No headphone jack on this type of device is unreal. I am still using my AKG Earbuds I got with my S8 which are now 5 years old. Meanwhile ask the first gen Airpod consoomers how they are doing.

We have merged with the GTA Timeline

Can't wait for Python on top of webassembly on top of react on top of electron Frameworks to void that advancement

So the Nvidia drivers will be 100% written by AI then?

If you think Apple will implement these changes outside the E.U. you gotta be insane.

Also with the news that Qualcomm is hiking prices again, Samsung releasing their least ambitious Smartphone lineup ever this year, Oneplus annihalting their core audience, Huawei being banned, Xiaomi releasing the most confusing product stack imaginable, and Google taking another year off on adding meaningfull features to Android, is this really surprising?

POV : You are a ethnical minority.

Not buying a game on release wins yet again.

Apple only opposes Google when new browser capabilites like PWAs, Bluetooth API, NFC API,... might be a threat to the Appstore monopoly on iOS.

I think they are very much onboard with this since it you could potentially make live hell for Hackintosh and Jailbreak users.

Sponsorblock is not included, thus it provides an inferior experience to newpipe x sponsorblock or libretube.

I went to school right at the time where Smartphones become popular and at the beginning most either had no phone or a basic featurephone and in the end almost everyone had a smartphone. And I think the impact was very minimal. School sucked regardless. People were bullied regardless. Some had really short attention spans regardless.

Oh, oh ok I thought one of the new Threadrippers is so powerful that the CPU can do all those graphics in Software.

Yep I found out myself pretty quickly. With a simple App which was maybe 10K lines of code I started targeting Android 10 and so far every new major version caused some issue with the code as Google constantly messes around with files, permissions, ...

I can't imagine what a task it is to maintain a game.

Powershell is actually powerful. You can write full on WPF grafical user interfaces with it.

"Honey the remote stopped working"

God damn it the last update installed libir 2.1.5 which pymote 4.7.0 isn't yet compatible with.

I went back to good ol MP3 files about a year ago in an effort to lower montly subscriptions and the tiktokification of spotify was a big reason why.
