But what does that matter when the platform has plenty of competition? This is what doesn’t make sense to me. Google chose to allow other app stores. That’s a feature of the platform. Apple chose to not allow sideloading or other app stores, again, as a feature.

Who is forcing people to use Apple devices?

Why doesn’t this extend to other platforms like Nintendo or PlayStation whose stores are explicit features of the platforms?

This is what never made sense to me about this argument.

Who exactly is forcing people to buy iPhones? How is the platform anti-competition when there’s loads of competition all around it, in equally as large numbers?

The walled garden has always been a feature, a selling point. And people choose to adopt it or not.

Can you explain better how the logic in your argument above goes, with that in mind?

Immediate wishlist. Hope VR support comes in the future!

Time to start /c/LemonParty as a replacement for /r/gonewild

Holy shit! I did not see that coming. I just got the mainboard case to convert my fw13 so it can be stashed away on my homelab for some ancillary services. Assuming the price is right, I’ll have to consider grabbing one to put in my now-empty laptop! Very exciting.

Ok? Which part of what I said was irrelevant in your mind?

You can literally put your hand directly on the surface of an induction cook surface while it’s on. You can also place it on the surface within seconds of removing the hot pan of food that was cooking.

What you’re describing is likely more about your familiarity with finessing temperatures through gas heating where you can move the pan around and temper with some learned skill. Induction cooking is the most efficient and fastest by a significant margin, due to the lack of losses. In a side by side comparison, gas cooktops are the slowest to boil water, despite being able to reach the same temps as you state. Even flat top electric stoves are faster and more efficient. This is of course all about choosing the right method for you and not the speed / efficiency in a vacuum, as long as people are informed with the most up to date information.

Honestly… in my opinion hdmi needs to die. DisplayPort is superior in every way, especially when driving from thunderbolt/usb4. We are so close to one port for everything, even if we have to continue dongle hell for a while longer.

PiVPN is the easiest way to use WireGuard imo. Even has QR code generation right in your terminal emulator. It’s nothing more than a few simple scripts that wrap the server functionality but I’ve been using it for years.

Same with WireGuard, 1% all day every day.
