sounds like it would be effective if the cto was in latam too
Probably but that dosen't mean you can't use the tools and start doing something else.

I mean it's the verge, who cares?
the most popular results on that website, require emulating windows or game streaming.

from personal experiance the mouse movement in almost any game on my m1-pro before i sold it was borked, and even 'native' games that were supposed to work didn't feel good at all

tabbing out of counter-strike go usually froze my macbook requiring a restart

the ergonomics of the laptops are generally also poor (keyboard is flat, glossy screen, limited angle on the screen hinge so it requires serious hunching )

it's a pretty slim majority 55%
You can technicaly run the xbox in 'developer' mode and sideload, it does block you from playing retail games though

for me personally I don't care about it on my phone either way, I do on my laptop/desktop

I like being able to trust my device and my kids device, if you wan't something to hack on get a pinephone or something

the reality is that billions of people need to trust their phones with their most personal information, fininaces and lives and apple's policies while sometimes annoying do a lot to build that trust

they aren't a big secret and if you don't like it you're free to not buy their products

things this big rarely fail instantly, it's usually a long slow decline

either way none of what's being done or talked about recently makes me want to start using twitter, maybe they will figure something out i guess

the nvidia shield store for games was pretty solid when it was around

I'm not sure how I'd rate the quality of the amazon app store but they did have cool features that let you trial an app in your browser

in all honestly with these two stores owning the entire us market there's never going to be much iteration or innovation.. even something simple like a ios version of itch.io would be fantastic

well you see.. that's the problem they are selling ads to solve
MS Teams is great
William Gates was basicly a crimelord

an express system to and from the airport would be nice, sort of like the heathrow express

blue line to the loop is a lot of stops and takes almost a hour

would people actually use it/is it worth it? who knows

Let's talk in 5 years once Twitter becomes the source of truth in the crypto-ecosystem

we're approaching the last chance where you can catch the train, don't hesitate prices now are as low as they may be ever again

at the end of the day it all comes from the same place, web3 just democratizes the path

there are a small amout of scams that are overblown by people trying to control the narrative which won't work because the blockchains are decenteralized and free for all to investigate
