I’m sure the desktop publishing and music industries are having a great time in your alternate timeline where the Macintosh never existed. Revisionist history doesn’t work with tech.

That’s why I can download new OSs for free every year right? If you want to make that argument it only works for the initial OS at purchase, and zero subsequent updates.

“My wife and I live in the 1950s, and also can’t keep track of small things”

Apple doesn’t ‘sell’ OS X/macOS, so that makes sense.

It followed Mac OS 9, and also derived from UNIX and NeXTSTEP, hence the cheeky usage of the roman numeral for the number 10. Not hard to grasp.

Everyone who pronounced it correctly does. It was introduced as OS X ‘Ten’ in 2001; and now it’s macOS.

Yeah, those extra Android features like having to run an anti-virus on my phone. Why can’t Apple let more malware into the App Store? My absolute favorite Android feature is automatically sending every keystroke I make to Google so they can improve my advertising experiences. It’s so convenient, I don’t even have…

Why the hell not? Games are fun, more games = more fun.

There is no such thing as ‘cultural appropriation’ in music. Music would have ceased to exist hundreds of years ago without artists ‘appropriating’ ideas.

There’s essentially zero evidence of repros / flashcarts actually damaging consoles due to the voltage differences. That dbelectronics rant was literally a scare tactic to get people to buy his ‘superior’ product. Until there’s some actual proof out there, I’ll keep using my Chinese bootlegs (like I’ve been doing…

Definitely not. It will be like when they nuked WiiTV, the next update just removed the icon from the homescreen.

You can still save screenshots via the 3DS browser by posting them to Twitter or uploading them elsewhere, same with the Wii U (though finding an uploading site that works with the Wii U or 3DS browser is nigh on impossible). On the Wii U, saving pictures with the browser actually gets you a full-resolution…

How much is Taylor paying you to do this ‘damage control’ thing? It’s really bizarre to see a (presumed) adult human fan-girling on Jezebel like this.

That YouTube video I scrubbed through makes it looks like its a Teensy micro-controller shoved in the controller. Pretty common device for HID-type conversions. I use one to convert a 35 year old keyboard to USB.

Switch has cross-play with Xbox One and PC, Sony doesn’t want PS4 players to join the fun. From what everyone else is saying, the console-exclusive cars don’t show up on different hardware while cross-playing, but I haven’t tested myself yet. Still on the fence whether I want the Switch or X1 version...

Can you still download all those apps that steal your bank account info? That’s my favorite Android feature. My iPhone is really lacking in malware, it’s such a huge dissapointment that I don’t need to run an anti-virus on my phone. Also, why doesn’t the iPhone come with 6 email clients and 5 different apps for SMS…
