That parity thing was debunked 2 years ago when a similar lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, their parity thing is for resold Steam keys, which Valve issues with no profit margin. Milberg London are trolls that tried to do the same lawsuit against Sony and PlayStation last year. Also got nowhere.

Valve isn’t pulling any anticompetitive moves though. They just try to secure profits by being the best instead of destroying everyone else that dares to compete with them.

There’s a lot they could have done, locking down Linux isn’t that hard. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s based on Gentoo, yet it’s locked down completely. All they had.to do is lock the BIOS, enable secure boot and disable root access, and then it’s pretty much a locked system.

Nintendo was super competent with the Switch, their kernel is actually ridiculously secure. I’m pretty sure if Nvidia hadn’t messed up, we would still be scratching our heads with the Switch.

It’s not impossible or even hard to lock down Linux. Just look at Chrome OS, it’s Gentoo based, but with the bootloader locked and root access removed, it is pretty much immutable.

And Chromebooks just use off the shelf parts.

Nope, native GamePass does not work on Linux. Not with Proton, not with Lutris. The only option is GP streaming using MS Edge.

If only they offered a solderless version.

And those 2/3s shine through, the last big engine update for HL2 was in 2007. It still looks great.

The art direction is impeccable and it still shines for it.

To be honest, the biggest takeaway of the trailer is how well the original HL2 aged.

The new engine is finally out for PC, nice. That means better performance in endgame maps.

Nothing has changed in that respect.

On iOS, Apple only allows browsers to use Safari’s WebKit. So they all use the same rendering engine, effectively making all iOS browsers Safari clones.

Brave is also built on Chromium and they won’t be adding support for the API.

Apple “privacy first” policy is just the corporate image they want to sell, if they can get away with it without being questioned by the public, they will.

Mozilla is funded by Google, they’re pretty good at just opposing them.

It’s about 10%. Still not a lot.

You can do that, but be aware, upscaling with FSR takes a performance hit. It’s not a big one but can make the difference between stable and unstable 30FPS.
