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.


Didn't Cerny that 75% of PS5 users or something like that opt for the performance mode?


Really? I thought that was pretty widely known about the original (which the 2000s series then imported wholesale).


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.


The Starliner crew are staying on the station until then - they'll be leaving on Crew 9.


Ah, that makes sense.


> 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?

Not while ASML is a bottleneck.


The official server has a simplified deployment approach in beta that gives a very Vaultwarden-like experience for smaller deployments. https://bitwarden.com/help/install-and-deploy-unified-beta/


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.


There were some sites requiring IE6 but not that many, and the improvements like tabs were enough for people switch to Firefox where they could.

Unfortunately Mozilla’s refusal to implement process-per-tab, combined with Flash’s instability, let Chrome eat their lunch.


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.


Beware of simplistic reasoning.

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.


Also, Google paid a ton of money to bundle the Chrome installer with Flash and Adobe Acrobat downloads.


They're doing that now (and for the last several years). I don't remember them doing that back when Chrome overtook Firefox in 2012, though...


You either meant Visual SourceSafe or Team Foundation Server for the Microsoft product.

SourceSafe did get abandoned... because your source wasn't actually safe in it.

Its replacement, Team Foundation Server got rebranded as Azure DevOps; but the product's still around, 19 years later.


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.)


Azure DNS does the same.
