I found DDG’s results to be very US focused and since I don’t live in the US a lot of the results weren’t relevant to me. 

There’s a little flag icon with a toggle switch for the country your IP address originates from, switch it on and you’ll get results more relevant to your location. 

So they have a CISC architecture that requires more transistors than a RISC design like the M1 and they are using a 10nm process while Apple is already at 5nm. Sounds like a plan. 

Hypocrite. Meanwhile Borderlands 3 was available for 6 months exclusively on their own store, and now you can get the PC version on Steam. The Mac version is only available on their Epic store, nowhere else. Discounts are crap there. Well Epic, f*ck right off from your high horse talking about app stores. 

Another company that made millions by getting a free ride on  selling user data, now complains that they have to earn the right to use that data by building trust first. Cry me a river . 

I don’t know, but if he needs incentive to stay, it’s time for him to go.

“Unparalleled innovation” yeah like 800 dollar wheels with no brakes. Novel concept. Or a 1000 dollar bar of aluminium (also to be used as a monitor stand). Truly innovative.

In response to the Steam game question - I received a message about a couple of my games not being supported in 10.13 (for future macOS versions). Just installed the 10.14 beta today, ran an update on steam and the message disappeared and my old games continue to run fine. So I guess that’s a good sign.

I think you mean the warning for 32-bit apps. That’s an entirely different issue and the warning just stated that 32-bit apps will stop working with future versions of the OS (without saying which one).

Why do they aim so low?
If they want to build the best cars they'll have to go with German or Japanese engineering. Not Hyundai, yet another Korean me-too manufacturer...

When will we punish Google for violating user privacy?

Well Microsoft also got away with all the shit they did in the past, so my estimate is: never. They’re way to valuable contributors to the NSA’s total surveillance efforts.

A big name, Audi, Ford, BMW would insist on their own branding.

Ok, done. Bye. 

Now these silly EU people can move on to forage for the next US tech company...

Yeah I thought the same. Well AFAIK Apple already do apply the same standards.
