Google only used to do 3 years until the Pixel 6 in 2021.

The whole Android ecosystem is a complete mess. The fact that you need to rely on the device manufacturer for your updates is a nonsense idea.

Nobody wants to spend time with the kind of people who don't want to go home after work.

We all know the type with their overly loud laughing at the bosses jokes.

Links only need single clicks. Always have.

Icons on the desktop, or files in a listview need a double click to open, because single clicking just selects them.

On a link? Everything.

If you mean the 0.1ms, that's not latency. That's grey to grey speed which is practically meaningless. The image can't get from your PC to the monitor in 0.1ms.

The fastest monitors I can find have a real latency of 1.7ms, and that's a 1080p monitor running at 360Hz. When you get down into the 4k 120Hz range that the top TVs do, the speed falls to around 5ms, which is about the best you'll get from a TV.

Yeah, I'm not sure how consoles avoided that.

It would sure be nice to run whatever I wanted on my consoles. Top of my list would be SteamLink for Switch.

Avoiding piracy is a thorny one for them. They've really locked that shit down in recent years. The last time I saw any was for the Xbox 360, where everyone at work had their drives altered and laughed at me for being a mug that still bought games, and then I laughed as they all got banned at once during the Great Purge of 2009. I think piracy was one of the reasons that the PS3 Linux thing was discontinued as well.

No, I mean that they legally can't support say PS5 and still be 100% open source. There would need to be a closed source wrapper, and that's what they don't want.

Which is fine, they can do what they want, but it means they can never be the choice of a developer that wants to put their game on as many platforms as possible.

Doubt it. They'll go to Unreal.

Godot needs console support if it wants to displace Unity. Open source is a noble goal, but it's going to lock you out of certain markets.

If you're jealous of people flipping burgers, it sounds like you need a better job yourself.

I always cringe in horror as both my parents still double click links on the internet.

Given that I remember none of it, I'll give it a resounding no.

Save yourself many hours of wondering what the fuck you're doing with your life and just watch that one scene on YouTube.

Maybe they'd like to see the Titanic.
