IMHO they are beating a dead horse, x86 carries so much cruft from the last 50 years. It is bloated like Windows. Those propositions exist just to milk the cow as long as possible.

Oh please, SysAdmin of the future, tell me, how does Unix label DRIVES that is vastly superior to "C:"?

Comment That File Path (Score 1, Troll) 61
As A UNIX user, that file path makes me roll my eyes for several reasons:
- "C:\" Drive letters are still a thing in the 21st century?
- "Windows" why are 3rd party files stored in a sub directory of the system? Is Flash part of Windows? Here lies one fundamental security problem of Windows
- "Macromed" haha that's the funniest part, "Macromedia" truncated to 8 chars because of backward compatibilty to the 80s
I seriously don't understand why people and companies still use this trash OS in 2020. I bet the answer has something to do with being locked into a "garden" but definitely not a walled one...more like compost...

From Gevers Twitter:
It is most likely that this system is only for tracking gamers as most of the sample dialogs appears to be about this subject.
Can someone, maybe from China, come up with a good explanation why they seem to have such a particular interest in gamers?

In 1913, the temperature in Death Valley, California reached 134. Life is pretty persistent. See the aquatic life that live next to volcanic vents in ocean.

Can someone explain to me the usecase of this app, i.e. why would I want to play a game on my iPad that I could play on my Mac? If such a game works so much better on an iPad, the correct way would be to make a native iPad version. Which shouldn't be that much of a problem given that a Mac version already exists.
