It’s barely a hero shooter - it’s just a MOBA

Microsoft, forever and always, will keep trying to pivot Windows to whatever they think the Next Big Thing is going to be, and then fuck it up every time. They tried to pivot to Mobile (Windows Mobile), then Tablets (8, 8.1), then digital assistants (Win 10 Cortana), then 3D (Win 10 Paint3D, 3D Objects folder) and AR (why a bunch of Win10 got the semitransparent glass aesthetic), now AI. Maybe they got ahead of the curve enough to be the “leader” in “AI” this time, but that doesn’t make it a Good Operating System.

I couldn’t find anything like this other than very expensive portable options last time I checked, and unfortunately Android Tablets are surprisingly hard to use for the purpose.

A 120hz or 144hz (reasonably common) monitor could do 24FPS with no issues, as that’s either every 5th or every 6th frame exactly.

that’s a lot more money for a smaller screen, though. 32" is a big monitor sitting in front of a desk, but a small TV if you’re on a couch.

Still possible, but why would that be useful to anyone?

Among other intriguing items on the agenda for the division are plans to adapt video games from Annapurna Interactive, the gaming branch of the indie studio

I wonder what else they could adapt? I don’t think Outer Wilds would ever work as a movie, and that’s the first Annapurna-published title I can think of.

They took it over after Disney cancelled it and closed the studio that was making it.

A good article, a lot of those advantages I wasn’t aware of! I think DisplayPort unfairly got a bad rap as “oh, I have to buy another cable now” when it was new, but it’s obviously the better choice now. Although I still hate DisplayPort’s latching, makes it so hard to unplug cables in tight spaces. I’d rather old-style screws than the latch on all the DP cables I’ve used.

Assuming you have a spare slot (and your laptop is designed in a way to make that swap easy)

Is there any market research at all indicating that customers want 6"+ displays?

Unfortunately, yes. People who buy smaller phones are the people who buy a new phone less often, and small phones tend to sell worse than the big models (see S10e, iPhone 12(?) Mini) so don’t get renewed. Would be nice if they did.

I haven’t seen any of this in Firefox?

It’s a genuinely good security feature, but wrecks custom roms as a side effect (which I’m sure samsung doesn’t mind)

Yeah, there’s no real alternative here. Use messenger or Don’t talk to people.
