The engine Can of Duty uses is effectively a heavily modified quake 3 engine.
By this point it’s so modified it may as well be a different thing, but make no mistake it has evolved from the quake 3 engine.
I used OSMC for years going back to when it was still raspbmc, got the first Vero and then the 4k model.
They were never perfect and hassle free, a lot of which I put down to Kodi itself. I love the idea of Kodi, but the base interface is lacking (especially when you have a big collection) and most of the fancy front-ends / skins I tried would run too slow and once again bring back the shoddy TV experience I was trying to avoid. It also does not support streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ in any usable capacity. Kodi has a rich add-on ecosystem, which usually means you can plug some gaps but the add-ons have a habit of just breaking out of the blue or during major upgrades. I’ve had to have Kodi index my library so many times that I got sick of it ruining film night.
Eventually I bought an Nvidia shield, still using Kodi at first but switching between Plex, jellyfin and emby until I settled on emby for my local content. Being able to use other streaming services was a bonus and the hardware was good enough that it doesn’t feel sluggish.
You can also install 3rd party apps like smart tube for an excellent YouTube experience (and now my preferred way to watch YouTube).
The shield is starting to show it’s age big time (it doesn’t support HDR on YouTube, for example) but sadly outside of the USA there isn’t really any devices that match or beat it - you keep hearing about that Wal-Mart device being brilliant but that’s US only.
So in short, get a good android TV box for the best experience and the most options.
It’s also worth pointing out that OLED’s solve many of the drawbacks of LCD’s, particularly around latency and response times.
We just don’t talk about burn in.
I didn’t say it was good, but it is easy to use compared to a terminal. It won’t help you find your file, but it’s somewhat intuitive to a novice user - you click around and open folders until you find something that looks like what you’re after. It’s not efficient, it’s downright tedious, but it’s at least easy to do.
It’s all about the barrier to entry to novice users. Most users are novices, they’re the majority of the market so they’ll decide what the market leader is.
No, neither is easy to use. The second you have to use a terminal or command line you have completely lost the vast majority of people.
I don’t think any of the UX problems you’re describing have been solved on any platform. If anything Windows is one of the better examples here, because I’ll be fucked if I can ever find a file on Android and don’t get me started with Linux.
Prepare to get inundated with ads for anime girls and other weeb shit.
EDIT: To clarify, I mean “weeb” as a term of endearment rather than the pejorative.
Msn was the best, I’ll never forgive Microsoft for killing it in favour of Skype.
The problem that I see is that all of these alternatives still rely on YouTube at the end of the day.
And the cost of setting up a new video hosting site that’s free to consume content from is ridiculous.
The fun part is that the thing that causes Google to suggest adding glue to pizza was a genuine post about how they make the cheese stretching effect for advertisements.
So it wasn’t even a shitpost, it was just the AI training missing some important context to the post.
It’s entirely possible that 24,000 VM’s didn’t count as “large” by VMWare standards.
I’m old enough to remember the SVN days (he’ll, even the CVS and…dare I say it… source safe days).
Git is fantastic. It’s pretty universally uses because it’s the best dvcs out there and it’s free. It wipes the pants with the likes of mercurial.
In certain industries (such as gaming) there’s still a strong hold by perforce but we can ignore that as it’s proprietary and a bit specialised.
Anyway, as great as git is for making things easier and cleaner when dealing with distributed development, it by no means makes something impossible “possible” - it just makes it a hell of a lot easier.
The Linux kernel on the other hand enabled a lot of impossible things. Remember back in the day there wasn’t anything free and open source in the operating system world, it was all proprietary and licensed. If you wanted to create your own operating system, you basically had no option but to spend a fortune either writing your own kernel or licensing someone else’s (and the licensing part means you cannot distribute it for free).
The fact that the FSF has always wanted to write their own OS and never been able to achieve it without the Linux Kernel, in spite of them essentially writing “everything else” that makes up an operating system, shows just how nontrivial this is.
And to top it all off, it didn’t help his body odour at all. He stank.
We desperately need a company like Mozilla to take the reigns of something like Lemmy. The original developers are far too biased and short sighted to see the bigger picture, it needs to be an independent group that promotes more open source development.
Cases like this only prove that a better lock doesn’t improve security when the old lock still lets you in.
The takeaway here isn’t “passkeys are bad”, it’s “keeping less secure methods of authentication as a fallback is bad”
It’s like saying all 2FA is bad because SMS 2FA is dogshit.
