I am in the camp that there is a benefit to the managed store. Since moving family members to iOS devices the number of times they have loaded malware or asked me for help installing ANYTHING dropped to zero.
Should techies be able to side load if they want? Sure, should that be a primary install method? No.
Epic isn’t wrong about Apples payment requirements being BS, but Epic also isn’t exactly a hero here.
Will be interesting to see how this pissing match plays out over time.
Should you be able to use other payment providers outside of apple pay YES!
Should you be able to install other APP stores on an iPhone? Not sure.

They call it 'vibe coding.'English21·1 month agoI like the story’s coming out where the AI puts the API keys for expensive pay per use services in plane text or creates ultra inefficient code that makes unnecessary calls.

You probably need to take a picture, you might be describing that the output is 480i interlaced where every other line is drawn and some modern TVs will render that badly. In which case it is a deinterlacing issue.
Take a look at this link some games support 240p output mode…
AlternateRoute@lemmy.cato RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable?English6·1 month agoIf your TV has a crappy upscale then you can look into external hardware, however seems odd this is making it choppy, does your TV have a low latency GAME mode?
AlternateRoute@lemmy.cato RetroGaming@lemmy.world•Why is my Dreamcast displaying tiny with a new HDMI cable?English24·1 month agoI’ll have to check the display mode on the tv and see if any other options exist. I did play it in Fill mode which kept the 4:3 resolution but I feel like that sorta defeats the purpose of using hdmi.
Well no? You are getting a digital signal which will be MUCH clearer than analog RCA… Upscaling / fill mode is the Only way to make it bigger.

- Why? this is important as it will probably eliminate some options.
- What? What do you expect? Do you have specific clients you want to work (iOS mail app?, Samsung mail app? etc), are you good with a 3rd party app? Web interface only? Do you have or want a custom domain or are you migration to @newcompanyhostingme.com?
- Price? What is your budget? Outside a hand full of options that sell your info to be free almost everything else has a cost.

Really have to look at them based on series / tech.
None of the big spinning rust brands really can be labeled as unreliable across the board

IE Nintendo was happy to sell more units with Sega content, and sega moving to software / content had no choice but to sell on other platorms.
I’m not sure if Nintendo would get a percent of a 3rd party devs profits.
Nintendo makes money on EVERY cart sold and every electronic purchase… it is a major part of their EXPENSIVE model and why Nintendo platform games always seem more expensive. It is also why they still sell cart based systems so they are the ONLY supplier of the media, but now they have their own eStore as well.

99% sure that only happened after Sega stopped making competing consoles. IE more game content benefited their console platform

Some are great, others are real dives.
A few releases ago they made it so you can DEFAULT new entities NOT to be controlled by the VA… I cleared ALL entities and changed the setting. I only add things one at a time to voice control now.
SO many integrations ad switches it is a high risk to default the VA to have access to all new ones.
