This is run by Kidzuko, a Sony Pictures Television Kids venture. Here’s the launch press release. Personally, I’m not particularly trusting of them, just being an arm of a large company. I tried watching an episode and the tone seems pretty different. I know LeVar Burton had this Kickstarter which I guess turned into this Skybrary app after legal issues. It’s unfortunate that something so nostalgic is just another IP that can be resurrected. But, it could be far worse
Huh. I’ve heard of Risk of Rain before but when Steam recommended it to me I thought it was a JRPG
First, does any phone running a legit copy of Android count as a “certified Android device”?
Yes
How can they enforce this for apps not on the play store?
Checks will be built into the operating system and run on install attempts
Like if write my own APK will my phone just refuse to run it if I don’t go through some paperwork with Google?
Yes
How does that work?
TBD. Probably a database check
Like if they’re capable of this then why aren’t they doing it already to prevent piracy?
Piracy of what?
Not if you want a music player. They’ve added podcasts everywhere possible
While initially fun, the fact that it’s limited to 7 levels is its Achilles’ heel. It’s relatively short and easy to win. That’s not inherently bad, especially for a mobile game, but it’s sort of counterintuitive for a roguelike IMO
Companies, governments, and corporations are all run by people
Seems oversimplified and hyperbolic. The economy will always need people because people are the demand. And because markets are largely unpredictable, supply relies on people making strategic decisions. That will never change. Not everything can be quantified, collected, analyzed, and automated
This reminds me of Radiant, one of my favorite Android games
I don’t think there are any
Well yeah, but who would use a Chinese-based VPN? That’s asking for trouble to begin with
That’s opening Pandora’s box though, since you then become aware of illegal activities and take on a lot of liability
Bad employers eventually face the music
I haven’t heard discussion on this topic, but isn’t it possible for the LLM to interpret that 30k as good, reinforcing its own bad habits?
Looks like no. According to their GitHub they’re a solo dev in need of financial support
Google should open it up for other apps to use. Otherwise RCS is a power grab
Nintendo sucks
It’s worth noting these companies try to capture & record every inch of a city before entering the market there. Without these models the vehicles would drive significantly worse. This isn’t really a scalable business model from what I’ve read
I thought I share this here for people who like the UI of Firefox but hate it’s performance and like chrome performance but hate its UI.
That’s pretty specific. What kinds of things are you doing that are impacting performance? Never had that issue with any mobile browser
People accused MKBHD for “killing” products with his reviews. Both cannot be true
This is because of excessive early production to curb scalpers. It’s not a fair comparison
