If you want to have a browser with a different engine you need a whole different developer account org, you need to maintain two different code bases and you need to very specifically set everything up to pass all of Apple's tests, which are incredibly onerous in time and work, so it doesn't make sense for Mozilla to do so for such a small market share (hell Google doesn't either, and they're a lot bigger than them)

Fable 5 is Back 20 days ago

Sorry this is a very bad analogy, nuclear power isn't the same as a LLM, and definitely not as dangerous either. This is ridiculous.

Your ePub Is fine 1 month ago

I remember seeing stories about Adobe not being able to, or not wanting to, write a good energy efficient flash renderer for the iPhone, thus being another reason not to support it for Jobs (Adobe being of the mind that "Flash is so big, they'll have to support it" and Jobs proving otherwise)

Interesting, does that mean we might get root support on the old unsupported Quest devices too? The Q1 is already discontinued and no more updates yet still locked down, and they did something similar for the Ofulus go, providing a rooted boot image for it

Next would be recovery tools too, so they're not paperweights

Do you have examples of websites that don't work? Both because I'm curious and also so the devs can look into it?

I agree but HN always seemed more conservative or at least less queer than the "usual", personally I'd have assumed "hilarious" was meant more in a sardonic way, a reverse of the usual than literally hilarious

I really wish they had more community involvement, they barely seem to respond to people in the forums, and their headphones aren't open software-wise with no real feedback or way to even ask them things about them

The storage is fast enough to not be too much of an issue, and the basics would be mostly a web browser, a lot of things can be done with only it, and if you need to do more than web browser, text editors, you probably should want more than the Neo in the first place

Do you have any proof/more about this? I've never heard this claim and I'd like to know more

I do wonder how much of that is just convenience, a lot of people just don't want to bother, even if they would figure it out if they tried - they just don't. Your grandmother probably could've figured it out, but tapes were just much more convenient even if you had to rewind them (Obviously there's a learning curve, though)
