If games only shipped with one mode, it would be graphics mode. The performance modes are there to cater to users who prefer a different tradeoff (i.e. to get PS4-level graphics in exchange for a higher framerate), not because the graphics modes aren't good enough.
They dropped the "Core" suffix with v5 in 2020, since at that point there was no longer naming confusion.
While Microsoft doesn't have their own framework supporting Linux GUI apps on the modern .NET runtime (MAUI does Mac/iOS/Android but not Linux), there are third-party ones like Avalonia.
Dropping the "Core" suffix introduced more naming confusion. Before that, ".NET" was often used as a shorthand for the (now legacy) .NET Framework. Which makes googling for Core-specific things much harder than it needs to be.
> I posed this question in a top-level comment, but I'll throw it out here too: world governments are more interested than ever in making sure their fabs are on the leading edge. Could this serve to create more parity than we've seen historically?
User confusion - if they block users from subscribing to those creators on iOS they will inevitably have support tickets to deal with it. Hence their 16-month project to remove non-iOS-compatible plans.
chrome eat their lunch for only one reason: everytime you were doing a google search, google literally begged people to download their browser while half of the smartphone were coming with google chrome by default.
In the head of people google and chrome slowly became a synonym of internet the same way the ie icon used to be in the previous decade.
What you mention was certainly a major reason, but not the only one. Another one was that Chrome was simply a better browser for many years for normal users (mainly because of its performance).
Yeah, a lot of people switched for its performance. For a while, it was the bringing you the efforts of both Apple and Google to improve the rendering. Couldn't be beat.
Yes, but it's source control shifted to git years ago (I think you can still use TFS, but it's strongly legacy ) and git is mich better than TFS ever was.
True on both counts. (They’re never going to be able to kill TFVC entirely, but it’s disabled for new projects by default, and they’re going to take away the switch to reenable it.)
