Nope. They simply run different games than you.

Thank you for conceding official proton can have delays too.

Yes, you seem to miss a lot on many topics.

Nope. The gaps are consistently coming from you, and your myopic perspective.

Thank you for confirming your gaps.

LOL. You are getting quite desperate.

An ignorant statement.

An opinion.

The software that came with macOS includes a firewall. The user just needs to enable it.

They already have. There’s a built-in firewall the user can turn on.

Not really, the earlier death of the elderly helps keep universal healthcare affordable. The elderly are especially vulnerable, and their earlier passing helps avoid the most expensive years of coverage.

That logic would also make you a serial killer even when you copulate with your good lady wife in the missionary position purely to fulfill God’s instruction to go forth and multiply.

If the above confuses you, speak with someone educated on the classics. :-)

Cellular life is still life according to science. What species of life it is is determined by genetics. What science does not address is at what point in the development of the new life does its rights compete with the life of its host. That’s a legal question, two individuals with competing rights, courts sort out those sort of things all the time. Legally, when still at an early cellular stage the law generally sees no rights, no personhood yet. Religions disagree on that. Its when development reaches a stage where the new life could survive outside the host that things get really really complicated, where personhood could plausibly be claimed, unlike when at the cellular level.

Except on one side we have your singular claim and on the other side we multiple claims and my experience supporting products that wine supported. Of which only one is necessary to prove you mistaken. That sometimes a game can be down for weeks. As google demonstrates.

Like wine, it sometimes takes weeks.

Well it is hard to guess how you can be so mistaken so often.

No, that’s just a generous interpretation of the nonsense you have written. The API is after all the one thing that does remain consistent across platforms. Unlike the implementation of all the underlying code.

Nope, it is largely dependent on how high profile the game is. The fix required in in Wine or Proton, and they too have schedules, regressions tests to perform, low profile games don’t get the same attention and priority as high profile.

And this is why you seem to have difficulty differentiating between a project’s source code, its API, and which subset of that source code is actually used to create the respective binaries running on computers and mobile devices. Hint: This code is not written in Java where there may be a universal binary intermediary language. Read up C/C++ build system, in particular customizing which files are included for a particular target build, conditional compilation that may cause the source in a particular file to have customized target specific portions. You seem to be having difficulty with this reality.

Yeah, which is piss useless compared to preventing the steal, at the OS level, in the first place. Notifying that it happened is appreciated, but only like 10% useful.

Yet it demonstrates there is a problem on the app side. The app is notified, they usually do nothing to assist the user.

Iron Mountain wasn’t the problem. PBS went to some other company, and this other company contracted with Iron Mountain. This other company failed, and the lack of payments could cause the storage of this other company to be deleted by Iron Mountain to reclaim the space for paying customers. PBS is suing Iron Mountain to not reclaim this space, to establish that the data is actually theirs.

I wonder if this other company is Washington DC adjacent and has family and/or friends of politicians running it.

Last year, America's automobile exports were worth $54B.

My company moved some old projects to an off site tape backup service. They wanted to recover some space on our servers.

When I tried to access some of that data years later I got some “data unrecoverable” responses to my requests.

Fortunately one of the original devs for the project in question was still at the company. He had an old CD-R in the back of one of his desk drawers. It worked.

Was that contractual partner the lowest bidder for the project? That would sort of contradict the notion that their data was priceless and irreplaceable.

I find it hard to believe that sorting parts and delivering them to work stations is not already automated. These robots are going to be used for experimenting with assembly tasks. The humanoid form providing more options for experiments. Ultimately the robots for various assembly tasks will be high specialized like the welders.

Or I went to college before things got dumbed down. University professors used to design the coursework based on the ability of the incoming freshman. So a university level calculus class was more rigorous than an high school calculus class. I expect this is still true to a degree, otherwise there would be no AP Calculus in high school.

The fact remains, of my freshmen era STEM friends. We typically had to do the assigned homework and suggested exercises to get good grades. In history or poly sci, we just had to show up for class and stay awake. As I said, two different leagues.

I don’t think so, terrain contour matching and other similar navigational techniques are serious computer vision problems.

Again, you confuse your anecdotal experience with the larger community of gamers. As I told you, it depends on which games you play.

Backwards compatibility does not mean old games do not take advantage of newer directx features over time.

You are likely also considering only running an old binary. Things can get more complicated as you use newer compiler releases and linked to more modern versions of windows and directx libraries. Sometimes older APIs are deprecated, spitting out warnings, and you modernize the code to match the current development environment.

Doubtful. The prevailing attitude at most studios is “not our problem”. Windows is our target, Wine and Proton can deal with Linux based problems.

Not extensions, the kernels themselves. A build system for a project may include different source files depending on the target platform (macOS or iOS). An individual source file may use conditional compilation to use different blocks of code within a source file depending on the target platform. Apple’s header include tons of such conditions. The code the compiler spits out is different.

You confuse Mach, etc presenting a common API with a common internal implementation. The implementations differ depending on the platform.

You can deny reality all you want to.
Yet some gamers have to wait weeks for Wine, etc to get a patch.
Yet macOS and iOS have different kernel and OS implementations.
Yet web apps have a notification letting them know when a focus steal occurs so they can deal with it appropriately.
