I hear he's lost a bunch of money. That's a definite positive in my book.

ARM isn't the problem. Some games have native ARM ports, and x86 games can be run by Rosetta. It's not as fast as native, but broadly comparable with the performance of the previous gen Intel chips they replaced.

A bigger problem on macOS is that they dropped support for 32-bit software a few years ago in Catalina. Not a problem with newer games, but it decimated Mac users' Steam libraries.

And the biggest problem is that Apple just doesn't give a shit about gaming. Every few years, they claim they're going to do games, but quickly forget about it. They've never put decent video cards in Macs, and never hesitate to throttle hardware if proper cooling would mean a larger enclosure, so AAA games typically arrive on macOS years late, when second-rate or integrated video cards can run them.

If they actually cared, they'd have their own Vulcan implementation. Instead, they're focused on their own proprietary Metal API.

Basically, Apple and AAA game studios have been ignoring each other for decades.

Yeah. It's the mechanism that defines a vaccine, not when it's administered.

It trains you own T-cells to recognise the cancer cells, so it's a vaccine.

NGL, I'm surprised macOS was even ahead of Linux given Apple's deep-seated, cultural disinterest in gaming.

Jau. eAuto hilft nicht viel, weil das heutige Auto an sich nur bescheuert ist.

Um die 100KG Mensch etwa 100KM am Tag will man befördern. Und dazu müssen 1,5 Tonnen Stahl 22 Std. am Tag komplett nutzlos im Weg rumstehen? Völlig hirnrissig.

Hard disagree. Back in its early days, Google was genuinely decent. They competed by building better stuff than everyone else, and that's it.

There was no decent free email and no free maps before Google. You used to have to pay hundreds for decent mapping software.

The good old Web 2.0 days, when companies were falling over themselves to provide free APIs and see what people could do with them.

Google started going to shit when they brought out Android and everybody started trying to build walled gardens, and went full evil when that moral vacuum Pichai took over.

Can someone provide some context? What new standards are they talking about?

A 2022 Toyota Corolla gets around 40mpg highway and squeezes 5 people inside so it uses 0.5 gallons per person per 100mi.

5 people in the Corolla is 2–3 times as many people as are at all likely to be in there. That's a very skewed number.

When using realistic numbers, cars come in at about the same per mile as large commercial airliners. (Flights tend to be far, far longer of course.)

Sowas ist ein Velomobil.

Fähnchen haben die meisten Liegeräder. Übersehen wird man trotzdem oft :(

Vor allem, 25 km/h sind auch nicht gerade viel für einen Radfahrer ohne Motor. Geht's bergab, dann wäre der S-Pedelec-Fahrer mit seinen 25 km/h der Langsame.

Makes sense. He's a sprinter.

Dragsters also don't do NASCAR races.

The same thing is going on everywhere, tbh.

Right-wing populist arseholes are gaining traction because the political mainstream has just been fucking us all over for decades.

Ich hatte son Ding (aber Dreirad also noch tiefer).

Du wirst auch gerne übersehen (auch mit Fahne) und es kam mir immer besonders beängstigend vor, da du von so einem Rad nicht springen kannst wie von einem Gewöhnlichen. Du siehst auch wenig im Vergleich, da du natürlich auf einem Liegerad nicht über Autos sehen kannst.

Dafür hatte das Ding tatsächlich eingebaute Vorfahrt. Wenn du doch gesehen wirst, halten die Leute gerne an, um zu glotzen.

Really. It's a collapsed death bridge, FFS.

These "vandals" should have needed industrial machinery to remove the barriers that should have been there.

That depends very heavily on what your searching for.

If you're a programmer or similar, like the poster you're replying to appears to be, then you absolutely will find DDG crap compared to Google.

I use DDG as my primary search engine, but if I have a tech question, I usually skip it and go straight to Google.

Thing is, Google is also (still) just better.

I use DDG as my primary search engine, but I find myself repeating searches with Google so often, I wrote a userscript to add a "Search with Google" link to the top of the DDG search results.

Wäre mit mehr Tiefgaragen gelöst.

Nie im Leben. Es sind jeden Tag bei uns 100 Menschen im Haus auf einem 30x30 Grundstück.

So tief kannste nicht buddeln, um die 50+ Autos von den unter dem Haus zu parken.

Let's get this straight.

Google publishes maps that are inaccurate. They were informed of the inaccuracies multiple times, yet did nothing. Subsequently, someone died following their incorrect maps that they couldn't be bothered to fix — despite the fact that a fucked bridge is clearly potentially super dangerous.

And you think this has "literally nothing" to do with Google?

Are you a shareholder or something? That's some hardcore corporate arse-kissing, imo.
