    Your first point at least is an iPad thing. Nothing is fully featured on the iPad. Not even safari. It’s thanks to that exact fact that chrome is at least mostly fully featured on the iPad. If safari had comparable function, you could bank on them blocking those features from the chrome app too. There’s a deal made somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if cash flow from Google is why safari is still the same piece of crap it always has been. “Hey your R&D + return for safari only nets you 1% YOY. We’ll give you 2% YOY if you just don’t even bother.”

    They only know raising prices and knee-jerk reactions to competitive moves in their market space. Additional functionality for the user is only granted when it’s being used as a cudgle against their competition. Never for users benefit.

    If you’re seeing new functionality on the iPad Firefox app, it’s likely because Firefox figured out a way to implement it without paying apple because they want the user to have that function. Totally different ethos.



  • I played botw. Never would have on a switch. That thing is technologically pathetic. From what I hear it hardly makes 20fps? In what world is that playble. I used to play a fps called combat arms back in around 2006 on an x1600. Both my frame rate and the textures were better than botw. Every tower you climb you just look out at all 4 polygons and wonder if the game is even complete.

    If totk was on the same technical level as botw, it’s no wonder people emulate their legit copies. They want to play the game they paid for in 2024 with shadows and textures at a playable frame rate. Nintendo won’t give that to them but modders usually have texture packs ready to go on new releases that reveals how much their shitty handheld holds their games back.

    How cool the building and freedom is means shit if it’s a miserable chore to play. You can’t even turn the camera sensitivity up high enough to utilize a lot of the building freedom without a camera fix making some cool mechanics or build utility you see people performing in clips literally impossible on the native switch.
