Comment Re: Carrying suitacse full of cash (Score 1) 48

This is why I don't allow any financial apps to automatically log in and even save the username of the account. Thinking about this made me realize that someone can order their overpriced products on the Amazon app and order it without any additional authentication as long as the phone is unlocked.

Comment Re:MS should just discontinue XBox (Score 1) 22

There's a huge difference in how the games run on Xbox console compared to PCs. As fixed hardware specs allow developers to optimize their games for that specific hardware. Even doing some low level optimizations that won't be done for PCs. It's clear to see when you build a PC with comparable hardware as consoles. You'll need a higher level PC build just to match the consoles. This is why I recommend people who don't have or need high end PCs just to get the consoles.

Epic could have just played by Appleâ(TM)s rules while trying to get changes through lobbying and the courts. They lost hundreds of millions of dollars by not being on iOS, and COD Mobile has taken their lunch. Itâ(TM)ll be an uphill battle for Fornite to overtake COD Mobile at this point. Good thing Epic is privately owned because there would be shareholder lawsuits otherwise.

Comment Re: And now Apple needs Epic... (Score 3, Interesting) 14

Do they need Epic? Mobile games make more money than consoles and PC games combined. And yes, the top end phones have been getting more powerful over the years to run the latest Unreal Engine games, but low to mid tier phones have seen vastly lower performance gains. Those consumers prefer other features over raw performance.

Comment Nothing new (Score 2) 17

Iâ(TM)ve worked on few projects partly funded by the US federal government and this kind of clauses are common. You have to use US manufactured parts and it has nothing to do with quality. Itâ(TM)s more to do with making sure the US based companies are benefiting from the tax payer funded projects. Sounds good in theory but in most cases imported parts are just as good and costs less.

Comment Parking issues (Score 1) 233

There won't be enough parking spaces, assuming two parking spots per unit. It'll even be a problem with one per unit. And no sane person will want to lease the lower floors for commercial businesses without enough parking to support the foot traffic. Community anchors like supermarkets require a lot of parking that these conversions can't provide. Not to mention high HOA fees that'll rival mortgage payments even with current high interest rates.
