Woohoo! Pop Shop is one of the most irritating apps to deal with because of sluggish performance. Glad to see a lot of work is going into its replacement.
I had a version of this in 2005 or so. 200 games was, of course, quite a stretch.
Imagine a 3 lane avoid the traffic car game (1) and the same thing with a spaceship (2) and also a man running (3).
Or breakout (1) and breakout but the paddle is at the top of the screen (2).
Mine didn't even have the calculator. :(
Well they own Ring doorbells too, which allowed for warrantless police access and also nearly burned peoples houses down so why would you be surprised about these?
Whew! Add in someone from Raytheon and Elon Musk and we have ourselves a real-life Legion of Doom.
Another casualty of the Warner/Discovery clusterfire it seems.
Not that Rooster Teeth were bastions of well-run businesses but still. If you have a favorite Warner or Discovery movie or show better get the DVD before its too late.
Anyone who has visited CNET in the last 10 years would also have downgraded it AI notwithstanding.
Well as long as we are joking about Tegra powered devices...
The Nintendo Switch: Am I a joke to you?
That was absolutely their plan all along.
If they wanted to do time-based discounts, they could just blast a 10% off coupon to every app user in a specific geographic area.
Plus they get the bonus of user data when people sign up for the app that they can sell to the government leverage for non-industry profit streams.
True disgusting profiteering.
Failing to properly evacuate the city during a Tsunami because its easier just to clean up afterwards (Cities Skylines).
I was genuinely convinced they offered 10gig service in some markets. Doesn't surprise me that its all marketing nonsense.
Just a tip for anyone who wants to know, if you have Comcast business internet they'll tell you you have to use their modem but, you can swap it out with a 3rd patty modem and use the live chat service to get it activated. Then you can send back their modem for free at a ups store. Every salesperson will tell you its not possible but it absolutely is.
I can't wait. As long as they keep the autotiling feature working as well as it does now I'm down.
I didn't realize it was that recent of an addition to the NEC. Weve only lived in super old houses where everything was always needing completely redone. I was usually replacing 2 conductor and cloth-jacketed stuff everywhere.
That was around 2012 and I remember the electrician we hired at the time mentioned it being a thing so that makes sense.
This is pretty much my setup anyway. I run Pop Shell on top of Fedora and add dash to dock.
I'm just absolutely hooked on the autotiling built into pop shell.
If its an official spin all the better.
Current national electrical code in the US (since the 1980s) is a neutral in every switch box. Before then a switch loop was allowed so you see a lot of older construction with those.
You also see newer construction with those where Uncle Dave™ decided it was easier to only have to run a wire down from the light rather than fish it up through the crawlspace, NEC be damned.
Hey at least you won't have to sign in anymore just to get automatic driver update checking.
There have been some smaller ISP outages in my area too.
There was a recently disclosed giant problem with DNSSEC that was suppossed to have been mitigated but I wonder whether certain DNS providers haven't been able to patch yet.
It baffles me that they don't at least dump these on their own streaming service. I mean seriously. What an absolute waste.
Its like the plot of the movie The Producers, make more money by doing a bad job on a movie and writing down the loss, only Gene Wilder isn't in it and it sucks.
Well if the quality doesn't matter maybe we could at least get a VHS release. Or maybe laserdisc.
But seriously I do understand that angle. And I assume that there's a certain threshold of sales that make it worth doing especially when a lot of stores are reducing or eliminating physical media sections (except records of course).
Speaking of records I think that that is where you could pivot the bluray industry. Make a bigger package with specially tinted discs and lots of behind the scenes photos or interviews on a fold out cover. Maybe even make people get up in the middle of the movie to flip the disc over? (Ok maybe not that last one.)
TLDR: Android 15 is going to keep the Android System Webview ram-resident at pretty much all times so that when an app needs a "web popup page" it will load significantly faster.
Here is an article from Android Central detailing how the component works at relatively high level.
