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.

They want to start charging for the malware they host.

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.

Critical CVE-2024-21461

High CVE-2024-4610, CVE-2024-0153, CVE-2024-21460, CVE-2024-21465, CVE-2024-21469, CVE-2024-21462, CVE-2024-34724, CVE-2024-34725, CVE-2024-34726, CVE-2024-23373, CVE-2024-23372, CVE-2024-23368, CVE-2024-23380, CVE-2024-26923, CVE-2024-31334, CVE-2024-31335, CVE-2024-20077, CVE-2023-20971, CVE-2023-21351, CVE-2024-34731, CVE-2024-34735, CVE-2024-34737, CVE-2024-34738, CVE-2024-34739, CVE-2024-34740, CVE-2024-34741, CVE-2024-34743, CVE-2024-34736, CVE-2024-34742, CVE-2024-34727, CVE-2024-34745, CVE-2024-34746, CVE-2024-36971, CVE-2024-32896

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. ^

The quality of the football is much more important than where players are from and whether they have team pride or not. The business aspect is necessary to produce good, competitive football. It's the media that wants to turn the contract negotiations into a song and dance and it is the viewers that let them.

If Aiyuk can be the consummate 49ers WR while not wanting to be a 49er, then we have nothing to be upset about. He has been showing up and being a good teammate. I think Aiyuk wants to be one of the top paid WRs in the league AND be a 49er.

I like the idea of the 49ers being made up of people from all over; all coming together for one goal, for the chance to be part of a team that goes after the highest award in all of sports, the Lombardi Trophy.

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.
