Yes! And ask your employer to pay for them.

You have or can obtain IP protection for practically anything, but it’s useless unless you are able to defend it successfully in court.

Apple’s Iphone GUI design patent was successfully defended against Samsung, but it took a lot of time and money. The dashed lines aren’t covered by the patent, but the rest is.

Add the non-steam games to steam and then you can turn on Steam Input for them and it corrects the controller issues.

It was nice of Google to release the bluetooth patch considering they also gave me my money back for them and they’re my favorite controller now. The only problem is the button mappings, but Steam Input fixes that.

I stand by it. Apple is trusted because they have consistently delivered good products that has built a large fan base. It’s not bias. Observing that large and loyal fan base is an objective measure.

Saying they aren’t reliable because they’ve had a recall is your bias showing.

Sorry. I didn’t realize OP was asking for a thesis paper when asking what companies I trust.

The debate is over because it was never a debate.

All you have proven is that Apple has had recalls in the past. Recalls happen. I’m not sure what point you are trying to make.

Hardware you have not proven at all. You linked to Apple recalls. Who are you comparing them to? Whose products in this space are more trustworthy to you?

Security… here is a list of CVEs Samsung is patching just for August. I’m glad they have SMRs, but what is the uptake? Android 14 has a measly 13% share. 70.5% of iPhones are running the latest iOS. Security patches that don’t get installed don’t provide security. You can’t trust android developers to not exploit the hell out of the android os. The OS wasn’t designed with security in mind and anybody that reads the API can see that. The entire ecosystem can’t be trusted.

User friendliness… it is well documented that Apple cares more about users than developers and now, as a result, developers target Apple platforms too. Why? Because developers follow the users. It doesn’t matter how enticing Microsoft is for developers, if there aren’t users, developers will leave. Because Microsoft can’t be trusted and constantly screw over their users. Microsoft is only still in use because they have plenty of monopolies. Every time one of their monopolies falls, users flock to their competitor. Microsoft cannot be trusted to execute. Zune, Windows Phone, Kinect. Office has been replaced. Xbox replaced. And windows is being replaced.

Here is an analysis of usability and reliability that sums it all up in terms we all understand. Money. Macs are cheaper than PCs.

This debate is over. ^

Where’s a list of recalls for non Apple devices for comparison?

I’ve had several devices that should have been recalled and weren’t so good on Apple for recalling anything at all.

Did you read the wiki leaks for chained exploits to achieve privilege escalation on various devices? Apple devices had the smallest attack surface by far and had already patched several vectors before they leaked.

With android, you had several paths to choose from to achieve full control of the device for each and every android version, and the likelihood that a device was patched, if a patch existed at all, was extremely low. Patch releases would lag published exploits for years.

Apple has always used the right hardware for the job, while others add as much power as possible to hide the fact their software / hardware marriage is abysmal.

And now there is Apple silicon, which is even better!

• Hardware: Winner Apple
• Software: Winner Apple
• Security: Winner Apple
• User friendliness: Winner Apple

Good one! Wcw vs nwo and wwf no mercy are the pinnacle of wrestling games. It was all downhill after that.

Super smash bros

Mario kart

No it’s because they are so far above and beyond any of their competition Apple ‘s worst is better than any of the trash products trying to compete with it.

In no particular order:

• The Last Witch Hunter (2015) Vin is trying
• Maverick (1994)
• Serenity (2005) I know it is wrapping up Firefly, but why? Keep it going!
• Underwater (2020) I hope they make 10
• Deadwood (2019)
• Beerfest (2006) Where’s Potfest?
• Con Air (1997) You’re telling me this only happened once?
• American Ultra (2015) Release activated Mike on the world. Or maybe the government is at it again with someone else.
• The Faculty (1998) Attempt number two
• Sky High (2005)
• The Princess Bride (1987)
• Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
• Constantine (2005) Already mentioned by u/wildcardology@lemmy.world. Fingers crossed it happens
• Dredd (2012) Already mentioned by u/yukichigai@lemmy.sdf.org.
• Old Guard (2020) Supposedly done. Not released.

I was surprised at how many movies have sequels I didn’t know about.

Can’t wait for Colbert’s reluctant demon.

Co-op is making a comeback!

Playing right now:

• Helldivers 2
• Hunt: Showdown

Ideas based on games you mentioned:

• Divinity 2
• Remnant
• Wasteland 3
• Crayta
• Medieval Dynasty (haven’t actually tried coop on this yet, but single player was great)

Interesting team dynamics:

• Deep Rock Galactic
• Lethal Company
• Rimworld (Coop is wild)
• Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Surprisingly Engaging:

• Journey to the Savage Planet
• Golf with Friends

Nintendo:

• Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3
• Contra / Contra 3 (I think there is a new one coming)
• TMNT Turtles in Time (There is a new TMNT already out too)
• Bubble Bobble

Keep coming back to it:

• StarCraft II Coop (free to play now)
• Diablo II Resurrected (still better than III/IV/Last Epoch/Grimm Dawn etc.)
• Portal 2 (lots of challenges to complete)

Maybe Battle.Net. I might request my account data just to see the creation date now.

Oldest accounts would be AIM and Hotmail had I held onto them. Some friends still use their old Hotmail email and take a lot of crap for it. I still remember my Hotmail password. It was four letters.

Then came FB, Gmail, and Steam all around the same time. I still use Gmail and Steam every day. FB not so much.
