Exactly. Microsoft also has the benefit of double-dipping - they have Xbox, but they also get a healthy cut from PC as a vast majority of gamers are going to be running Windows.

This article feels very much like a fanboy wanting to keep the stupid “console wars” going, when really Microsoft is happy to just rake in the cash.

“plunges” by a whole 10%, and primarily only during the initial 2 days. Has since mostly rebounded. That is disappointing.

Will see what happens July 1st of course when apps finally stop working.

Thank you for linking the source! Seems OP was just mistaken about what they were seeing.

I was able to confirm that the database includes email address and password hash.

Uhhhh not loving that if true… Why would password hashes need to be sent all over the planet…? That’s a security bomb just ticking.

Shouldn’t each instance only need to be tracking user Metadata, with only the original users instance handling authentication…? After all my personal interaction is happening on my instance.

It’s just a fancy way of saying “Big Update #3”. I think the marketing department is using it as a play on words, like this is a “moment” you won’t forget type thing.

Any of the LEGO games are a great choice starting around ages 3 or 4. They use button picture prompts, and often obstacles can be overcome by the parent while the little one jumps around smashing things.

Re-enforces moving around in a 3d space, and gets good familiarity with button locations doing different things (while really only needing jump and punch for most things).

After a while with LEGO, started getting into games like Minecraft Dungeons - again parent can do most of the work while the little one tags along for the ride.

Was around age 5/6 that my son was able to pick up Minecraft - nothing sophisticated and again I did most of the building, but allowed him to contribute more than he had previous games, and strongly builds spatial awareness skills. Pokemon also became accessible as reading skills were good enough to understand what was on the screen.

From a tech perspective, insanely clever to use modern phones rolling shutter mode to sample significantly more data points.

From a “is this going to cause problems for the average person” perspective - not even close. Requires 65 minutes of recorded, stable footage. The camera must be < 6 feet away if the lights are on, and the cryptography algorithm must be running during that magic hour of recording…

It does enable remote attacks, but only if all very specific requirements are met, and it requires you have access to a camera for a long period of time that is perfectly positioned.

It’s primarily because the 3060 TI performs as good (and better for several games) than the 4060 TI for cheaper. There is almost no good reason to buy the 4060 TI.

Yeah the benefits seem to be greater on the marine side…

But even then how much better they are is essentially unknown with an awful lot of drawbacks. They weigh more which is problematic for drones, are significantly more complex to manufacture and thus are more expensive.

So unless they can quantify how much better (and for those cons they need to be significantly better) I don’t see this gaining any traction.
