Of course they did. It doesn't take any kind of abuse of the browser to do that. It's all on the website side and everyone does that.

Ban most data gathering websites do. But this has literally zero to do with the browser.

I'm not talking about passing monitors through. I'm talking about having multiple virtual monitors in your field of view.

A shitty virtual 1080p screen taking your entire field of view is not even vaguely capable of being used for productivity purposes. It's not remotely close. The whole point of multiple physical displays is to have a meaningful amount of information directly visible at once.

I think I'm rusty, because The Last of Us 2: No Return on survivor is kicking my ass.

Have Fire Emblem Three Houses as my "during sports commercials" game.

There is no comparable tech.

You can't get just a headset with comparable resolution, without the high quality low latency passthrough or the computer, for meaningfully less.

No you can't.

The resolution is not close to sufficient for a monitor with any meaningful amount of text on it. Your eyes will be bleeding in about 2 minutes.

All you have to do is not block the iPad app though.

lol how much ram does that need when they're shipping every bit of data on your computer to their servers to do processing on there?

No shit.

It's never been a secret what incognito mode does. Websites have always still been able to do whatever they want with your traffic, because the browser doesn't control that in any way.

A switch with flash cart would play the games perfectly.

You mean, the same as the switch does normally, which in most of those same games, is not particularly well, because the switch is super low power.

They refuse to believe her statement "I'm not dead". The title is kind of convoluted, but not wrong.

The issue isn't even just "him vs corporation with expensive lawyers". There's also no legal basis for any kind of action.

I've said in another post that I'm all for legislation that changes the obligations software developers have when selling software, such that abandoning hosting for software that requires access to their server comes with the obligation that they enable third parties to replace the functionality and consumers don't lose access. But there aren't any laws that can be interpreted that way. At absolute most, some very recent purchasers might be entitled to a refund. And if you could write such a law in a coherent way, and find a way to get it passed, it would still almost certainly only be able to apply to future software sales, not be retroactive.

I was thinking 15 so I can do homework in high school and get As instead of Bs to play the whole "good college" game. Maybe actually try on SATs. Etc.
