Except it doesn't do it well, or with all titles. And with the small market share, it will likely not prompt publishers and developers into supporting enhancements specifically for that system. As with the PS4 Pro, specific major games are the only ones to get patches. Most developers will continue to focus on the majority of the market, which own the less powerful PS4, Xbox One, and newcomer Switch.
Perhaps in an actual new generation where previous systems were cut off from support for new games, as with Xbox 360 to Xbox One, then all developers will raise their efforts from a visual standpoint, but as for now it is a very niche system.
iOS is actually usually very good at prioritizing input and feedback, this seems to me like an anomaly that will get fixed. On the other hand, priority is never given to input on Android. Feedback to input can take forever sometimes.
I've seen text input slow to a crawl, letters skipped, cursor jumping everywhere, words doubling all of a sudden, it's insane. Not to mention 3 or 4 different autocorrect engines running at the same time. And even with all that autocorrect going on sometimes errors are completely missed or legitimate words are replaced by nonexistent words.
Nothing to do with eyecandy, just complete incompetence. There is absolutely no excuse for this.
It makes no sense. I'd rather more countries review it, so there's more eyes on it and less likely to have something nefarious that only benefits one or some countries.
Mint is focused on providing a desktop environment that keeps everything consistent in the UI, never making a change unless absolutely necessary so as to not throw off the user. In that sense, desktops like KDE seem more experimental, changing things as they innovate.
I'm glad Mint is staying focused and consistent, that's why I stick with their distro. I want something for daily use for me and my family and it's been perfect.
Microsoft did with Gears of War 4, they're now pushing cross platform multiplayer in PR, they're publishing PUBG on Xbox and have their hand in the port, they're currently experimenting with multiplayer across both prior to release, Xbox One is getting official mouse/keyboard support for games and apps...
Unless anything disastrous happens I'd say it's coming, it seems like MS would have some egg-on-face PR-wise if not.
That was the idea, they released an official Dreamcast map pack to allow PC gamers to connect, since the maps were slightly altered geometrically.
Dreamcast has Mouse and Keyboard, these were official accessories available from launch. I still have mine, and played that way with that system. There were also PS/2 adapters for the Dreamcast Maple Bus which people used if they didn't want to buy new devices.
That part isn't so bad. People already play gamepad vs keyboard/mouse on PC. Xbox is also getting official USB mouse/keyboard support for games and apps anyway.
True, so cashless + no power could still work! But then they still won't let you if they can't get an official record for the good or calculate the proper price/tax. I can't remember the last time someone actually pulled out a binder with the appropriate info and did an on-paper tabulation with carbon copy. Lately I've just been refused and told to go to another outlet with power if that happens. Haven't seen it in 10 years, that's just anecdotal though, anyone else have any experiences they can share?
"What does a traditional Android tablet do that a convertible Chromebook doesn't?"
Be just a tablet. It does less than a Chromebook. Perfect for some people. Throw the Chromebook stuff in there and you'll have to start explaining stuff, it won't be as idiot proof. I mean it's already too complex as-is for some people I know.
Have they never heard the saying "if everyone else jumps off a bridge are you going to do it too?"
I always wonder that when this type of reasoning is used. At one point a lot of people were smoking cigarettes, but that didn't make the health risk any lower. Plenty litter or make a lot of waste, that doesn't help us in the effort to sustain ourselves. The number of people doing something has no bearing on whether that is beneficial or not.
Yes! Stuff is open on Mondays, including doctors' offices and government offices! In addition, people generally don't make plans on Mondays so you can usually relax that evening before work starts on Tuesday.
It seems all they've been doing for 10 years is releasing apps, services, and frameworks as if they were setting a dove free and then letting it live or die on its own, rebranding it if it doesn't catch on without changing anything fundamental or changing the way they support it. Also, before everything suffered from too much focus testing, and now it seems like they've abandoned any notion of soliciting input.
I can't deal with all the shitty attitudes of Monday. I start my work week on Tuesday when people have gotten over all that. On Saturday when there's less people I feel like I have a more relaxing catch-up day where I can be productive, tying up loose ends and doing what I can to prepare for the next week.

How convenient!
Instead of distributing patches of their own design, they were distributing modified files that were under copyright by EA.

I don't need those permissions active all the time. Plus there's bugs and hacks.
There are always tradeoffs when developing something. Is this really news?
The only risk here was the incompetent management, and use of default admin/admin login
This is what, the third time in 3 years? Stop it!!!
The only change we need is to remove the ads on the user interface, and default to showing the list of games when you start the system. That's it!

Yet they still stick with Linux
Doesn't sound like such a good idea anymore if it will bring cheating to the console experience...
Hopefully in cross-network games you can choose to play with console players only.

Yeah but they still won't do it, it doesn't keep an electronic record nor calculate any prices/fees. They just refuse, I've tried.
Cash registers need electricity, and cashiers won't do transactions if they're not working.
Maybe you could go to a yard sale or something?
Hard to figure why it should even cost that much. Classic example of asking too much in order to make the second offer seem reasonable.

You can get good quality shows and films this way without busting your bandwidth caps.
Also there is a wider selection of discs than their online stuff.
