The funny thing is that we started buying MORE games after getting it and filtering steam for the ones that work best.

It completely replaced the Nintendo Switch as our party platform, we have been adding piles of local multi player games to it and using multiple Xbox controllers with it docked around the main TV most of the time.

I think when it comes to how many titles work it is going to depend on your gaming preferences. If you play a lot of EA games or Ubisoft games it is clunky to get their store loaders going sometimes or at a min you get prompted to sign in via onscreen keyboard which is a PITA sometimes and there is lower support.

Steam native games however are great.

I can see this as a one time verification to help verify the video isn't being faked / you aren't working out of a remote cube farm in another country.

Our steamdeck gets the most use connected to an external display with us playing local multiplayer games, the blank screen sleep / resume issues being fixed will be really nice, I am tired of having to fiddle with it every few sessions.

How so ? The default browser on Windows is Edge, people keep installing Chrome? Chrome is available on MacOS, yet people stick with Safari?

For all the firefox fans out there it might be good to note there have consistently been more Safari users than Firefox users since 2014. Hell Safari has been the number two browser by market share since 2015.

Browsers have to get very SHITTY or a new browser has to have a killer app to unseat a dominate one.

Which one specifically?

LitterRobot 3 -- Died after a year.. I am not spending money on repairing it as I think the design is fundamentally flawed (DFI system gets pee and litter in it by design and fails). LitterRobot 4 fixes SOME of the issues but I am not dropping that much money on another robot litter box..

I loved not having to scoop so regularly and the immediate clean cycle actually made the litter last longer with just a few top ups.

I have purchased two cat fountains, both died in like 6mo of use even with filters and careful cleaning. Cats loved them and they were purchased because they were not drinking enough.. Found out all I needed was a CHEAP larger diameter bowl as their whiskers were touching the edges and that is why they didn't drink much from other bowls.

Please no! I shouldn’t need to constantly re-grant permissions unless an app has maybe had a major update where it may warrant review.

I am already annoyed how often iOS asks me am I sure I want an app to run in background etc when that is the point of said app.

Linux, windows and MacOS have security APIs to avoid kernel drivers but they also let the user approve 3rd parties to install them still.

I also strongly agree that Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge are the best in the series, the most focused and polished.. Burnout Paradise is OK but lacks something those other two have.

Apple implemented a kernel API for security software and made it good enough that they forced their own tools to use the API.

I haven't looked at the Security API in depth but I have looked at the iOS APIs.. Apple gets away with their own apps having MUCH MUCH deeper access than what they give 3rd parties.. I would be SHOCKED if their kernel API is all they use in their own tools.

Microsoft needs to shut up and do the work to make their kernel secure.

The EU ruling is very broad however, if it has just been security tools YES MS could have just built out the APIs and used them for defender, but the EU ruling makes it so open we have wonderful video game anti cheat and DRM drivers from all sorts of providers playing around in driver / kernel space.

Yes, System extensions on macOS Catalina 10.15 or later allow software https://developer.apple.com/support/kernel-extensions/
