It’s just a writer seeking to vary their language a bit. It’s a trick to keep themselves from repeating “Microsoft” quite so many times in a short span, as too much word repetition can cause readers to “tune out”.

Best of luck, I guess, but seems like a doomed project to me. Forking WebKit, Gecko, or even Servo would seem much more reasonable, and even that is a huge undertaking.
Dishonored is the closest Deus Ex successor in my mind. Harvey Smith in the level design DNA.
many (if not still most) games with Linux builds run better through proton than the native build
This is probably only true for Nvidia GPU systems.
GNOME Web (Epiphany) should be a decent Safari stand-in.
South Park was right all along. Those time travelers really are taking our jobs.
Why would they need to tie that telemetry to people in order to use it to inform their own development (as it states as the purpose, and is the purpose of all their telemetry as far as I know).
It’s more that it’s a recent change to not allow it on US models. I think only the iv and v don’t allow it.
Only in some of the most recent and high-end. I think Apple just added one to the iphone within the last year. Qualcomm wasn’t much quicker. There’s a lot of perfectly good phones out there that don’t have AV1 hardware decoders.
It seems more concerning that YT is apparently forcing AV1 when there’s no hardware decoder for it (if I’m reading that thread right). Seems like that will make people think their battery is starting to go — better software decoder or not.
As I said, it’s on consoles too — including Switch. It’s just that it’s a secondary platform for it — meaning it may be a lesser experience than on the platform it was ported from.
I’m dubious Android even serves as a base for Kobo’s OS. I’ve seen no evidence to support that claim.
EDIT: if you are referring to Tolinos, they are not simple rebrands of Kobos.
Outward is on consoles as well, though PC is its primary platform.
Tolinos use different processors precisely because they run Android, while Kobos do not.
I’m not aware of any Kobo using Android.
Kobo? No. They have their own firmware.
Screen corners are prime real estate. They have infinite size beyond the screen, allowing you to quickly fling the pointer to them. It’s a big reason things like app menus or the Mac’s Mission Control are accessed by the screen corners.
Sounds like its going for kind of a Pulsar: Lost Colony vibe to the gameplay. Not sure the Project Cars aspect of it really adds to the fun, though. Will keep an eye on it.
VPN use likely spiked in South Korea recently as well, since being blocked by Twitch.
Google can’t operate Play Store in China because it closed its Chinese offices in response to China attempting to hack them (and several other corporations) back in 2010 (Operation Aurora).
