so you have 'pods' that contain your information and you control which website/app can access information in the pod. you'll end up with sites/apps that will require you to allow access to your pod or else you can't use the site. they will take use all data from the pod, while still building their own database depending on your actions on their site. the end result might be even worse then what we have now, where at least you could potentially island of certain sites/apps.
- devs who make a game for quest will need to optimize it, this should benefit any platform as well. - competing with the switch (compared power wise), i fail to see how this is bad, the switch is doing great!
as the article mentions, the traditional gaming press wasn't really impressed by it, neither were most of the game developers of the time. and i agree with that, it was just a boring horrible game. photorealistic graphics? seriously, they were rubbish already back then.
since it is not attached to your pc or phone, it is pretty limited in scope and stays in the facebook circle. you could possibly create a new facebook id, use it only to play games?
and because of these types of nonsense i don't want anything to do with windows. it's just one more item to add to an already long list of things that windows does. you don't need windows, or at least 95% (if not more) of _home_ users are perfectly fine on another (linux based) OS.
"How can a company hope to compete with Google's driverless cars when it spends $20 billion a year to ensure it has the best laser-guided sensors and computer chips?"
by developing laser-guided sensors and chips that don't cost $20 billion/year?
the gut being one of the greatest entry points into the body, it should have a fast connection to the brain in case something is not right that a conter-reaction is issues right away.
because when you run linux on windows wsl your main concerns are stability and security! i would say systemd should be nowhere on the top of your list of issues in that setup.
i'm not sure what the 90 years old comment has to do with anything.
is it meant to be positive or negative, still even haven't worked that out. negative - don't get your hopes up, this guy is 90 years old and probably doesn't even remember his kids names. positive - you're never to old to make big contributions to science/mankind.
there is no blackmailing going on here, Linus got has PR and one of the topics he needed to work on was communication skills. there isn't more to it then that.
And that is the reason you should always buy an Android One phone. If the phone isn't in the Android One program, i don't want it. Next up the list of features should be if the phone is supported by one of the major custom roms.
you are correct! and i'm betting the real benefit for THEM comes from the fact that they get paid by the firms sending you gift cards, perks and healthy food (all those things are just ads in disguise)
sure, as with any law it will be incomplete, contain loopholes and be vague in certain areas, but at least it is better then nothing. default passwords are a big part of security issues of IoT devices, so if we can already scrap that of the list of things to worry about, that can only be a good thing.
I'm still not sure what canonical (ubuntu) thinks they will get out of this deep corporation with microsoft. Did MS make them some promises (that we're not aware of)? If there is one thing that history has taught us, it's that those who work with MS hardly get any benefit (to put it lightly), still people keep thinking - this time it will be different!
Linux has now included a Code of Conduct. Little strange maybe, just after the announcement of Linus.
It somehow confirms my claim he is pushed into doing this. Linus is an employee, just like everybody else, he probably gets performance review like all of us. Linux development is in the open, there have already been multiple incidents about Linus' treatments as well as people leaving kernel development because of his outbursts. It's waiting for real accidents to happen, and that must be avoided (too much is invested in the kernel, and Linus may be the boss on the development side, there are others who are invested in it at several levels).
we don't need another supercar, we need electric cars for normal people. they should be cheap to produce right? we don't need sub 2 seconds acceleration, or +300km/h top speed. just make it good enough to replace your regular current petrol car, i'm even willing to cut off some 100km of range, but;
- it needs to be afforable - be practical (no silly sci-fi looking impractical car)
The Nissan Leaf or Hyundai Ioniq almost have me sold, i just need a bigger boot (ie a station wagon, thank you!).

so you have 'pods' that contain your information and you control which website/app can access information in the pod.
you'll end up with sites/apps that will require you to allow access to your pod or else you can't use the site.
they will take use all data from the pod, while still building their own database depending on your actions on their site.
the end result might be even worse then what we have now, where at least you could potentially island of certain sites/apps.
because it's the most popular linux distro?
I see nothing but wins here;
- devs who make a game for quest will need to optimize it, this should benefit any platform as well.
- competing with the switch (compared power wise), i fail to see how this is bad, the switch is doing great!
it wouldn't be a bad move, and they could also invest/contribute to wine for backwards compatibility.
MS contributed a lot of code to the linux kernel, so yeah, it's still their own software, kind'a.
In our family of 5 everybody uses facebook, we're on the same network/internet link. How is it going to link this VR headset to any of those accounts?

xbox will now run windows 10!
and the circle will be round.
you still have options to keep it personal, if you really care so much, take those options!
since it is not attached to your pc or phone, it is pretty limited in scope and stays in the facebook circle.

you'll wont be good in either of them if the only thing you do is sit on the couch all day.
