I particularly do not agree with the recommendations once I have read the OP request. He/she probably would prefer something like No Man's Sky. Or Out There. Or Dwarf Fortress. Or Simcity 2000. Or Block'hood. Or Euro Truck 2. Or Minecraft.
Most games have a win/lose state so it disqualifies a lot of them in this recommendation. I do not see how a realistic game about survival, let me call it Survivalist Simulator 2018, would sell.
If you want to know what hit adventure games hard, it was Gabriel Knight 3 and its cat-mustache puzzle. Myst is just an adventure game with CGI graphics and animation on a CDROM, with puzzles that are just too logical compared to the cat-mustache.
I have received a few e-mail addressed to a colleague of mine. We both share the same surname even if we are not family. As Exchange is configured to search by surname first, a few people have send important business e-mails to me.
However, the worst reason why I get e-mails addressed to somebody else in my personal account is due to Google ignoring dots in e-mail addresses, so myemail@gmail.com, my.email@gmail.com and m.y.e.m.a.i.l@gmail.com are the same. I am getting e-mail for somebody that is at least 3k miles away, including a Walmart and Victoria Secret mailing lists. And reservation tickets for flights.
The question I have is: how about the competition? Does Sony or Microsoft keep your cloud saves (that you need to pay for)? If they are not, then this article is FUD.
I understand there is this recent Qualcomm chip, Snapdragon 835 and the future 1000, that can do X86 emulation at a reasonable speed, something that Windows 8 RT lacked. I am not sure if software targeting amd64 do work these days on these ARM CPUs. If there is no software to run, there is no need for such a CPU.
YouTube has also a mobile application and a Smart TV application (in whichever variant it is) that people use too. The push to mobile might not be as strong as what Facebook does. I have seen people even use YouTube app as a music streaming application recently. I wonder if the main reason why Facebook is dropping to third position is due to people not being engaged into Facebook as in years past.
I understand fitness trackers (app and/or device) are too happy to share your location with friends and strangers. However, Google Maps probably uses your data for some function of Google Maps. I know it can record where your workplace is and where you last parked your car. So, why do Pentagon workers are allowed to bring mobile phones is my guess.
In this day and age of MBAs, it is hard to get well compensated if the top brass believe they can easily get more workers in other countries. The workers on other countries are highly motivated by increasing wages. They tend to leave the company after two years of work as it is a loss for them not to do so. Managers do not see that technical debt is increasing because of the low retention of these workers.
The base has to be heavy such that the laptop does not fall over. Tablets that have the GPU and the battery behind the screen do use stands to avoid that. Try tablets like Surface to check whether you like this solution. They are nice on tables but awkward on your tights.
The problem is that deliveries at work may impact the day to day work at the company. Where I work, we used the option for delivery at work for some time. After a while, it became a chore for the people at reception and at administration. Large deliveries became the norm. It also became a liability as parcels were signed by somebody else other than you, so if something happened to the parcel (or if it becomes lost) you are in the dark. Somebody did make a lot of noise so HR avoided any future problem by forbidding us to send parcels to work. After some discussing and a few months later, we got a locker for the whole building such that anybody working in that building can use the locker.
The issue with the locker is that it is not managed by Amazon, so Amazon delivers to the postal office and the postman delivers the parcel to the building one or two days later. The other issue with the locker is that it can be filled up during busy days. Add to that that any parcel may stay in the locker for five days. So there may be extra delays in the final delivery. The good thing is that as it is not from Amazon, any online merchant may deliver to the locker.
Power to the user? To any internet users? I do not know where to start
The issue I have with random internet users is that they can build something marvellous or something horrible. I have seen how an indie game has been hidden from the front page on launch week three weeks ago because some users started adding tags like "Nudity". The thing is, having a game on Steam meant something years ago. It made sense to browse which games were introduced into Steam. Not anymore.
Humble Bundle also had a bundle full of anime titties not so long ago. I assume there are many people interested in erotic Visual Novels since the 90s.
On colleague of mine showed me some talks with chat bots on Tinder. It was interesting to see they can fool you through the first stages of the conversation. However, at some stage you notice something is off. At that point my colleague started foul mouthing, something that the bots do not usually respond properly. It was a fun read.
If there is no money to be made, then it should be sponsored by the state. Computers do consume energy after all. And we know that giving full control to the state just put more ties into three letters agencies. Another service would be e-mail. I do not know what is worse: e-mail read by Google or e-mail read by the NSA/CIA/others without any warrants.
I am sure Apple has something in store for this month - after all Apple regularly updates its models around the same time each year. What I do not think is worth any dime is to discuss rumors coming from a blog that provides no evidence. You know, it takes courage to stay nerdy and not trendy.
There is a critical mass on that Facebokok that makes it hard for users too migrate. It is not social if there is no other people around, is it? It reminds me of some bloggers trying Google ecosystem of Apps for one week and then complaining that friends and relatives did not even want to try Hangouts, Duo or Allo. As such, they could not give an opinion on the tools.
I liked the idea of Google Plus, I liked how circles work, I liked how you did not give a perpetual license to anobody for anything you upload. However, nobody else does. And Facebook will be popular as long as companies use it as a channel with their users: comic shops having updates on Facebook only (treat Facebook as blog), Tinder using your Facebook profile, games publishing on your wall, contests run on Facebook only, Slashdot allowing to login with your Facebook account, etc
Number of apps on iTunes market place has been reduced as a lot of legacy stuff being taken out. These apps, ahem computer applications running on a phone, are not being supported anymore. These applications are probably targeting older iOS versions and older phone architectures such that these application may not work anymore on recent phones.
Google did not have to do that. As such, the reported number of applications on Google Play marketplace has increased.
Nothing else to see, keep moving. And keep installing useless applications.
Well, high frequency traders are replacing stock brokers already. Nobody misses the people selling and buying. The machines and the algorithms are making life miserable for the rest of us.
We know where we started (everybody working outside of home). We do not know the end result (ratio of people in the office to people at home). We enjoy how the actual control loop rectifies itself with all the overshoots and the noise. Oh, the noise.
Wake me up whenever this movement settles, please.

I have played games that provided a hint system aka walkthrough as an in-game mechanic. You may skip watching somebody play in Youtube.

Local saves are not removed. Now, having either 6 months or 0 months of data retention is just a company switch anyway.

I was on the same boat. I opened the release notes and found out that auto-update does not work. It is sketchy at the least.

If EU is not a friend anymore according to Trump, why does the EU allow USA software in their administration?

As far as I am told, the client source code has been shared, the server is not. I am not sure if it is open source or not.

Last time I heard copy & paste was not implemented was on the early iOS versions.
