It's quite a lot more than that if you count all the titles that work but aren't verified, I imagine!

My favourite journalistic practice is when outlets lump up everyone playing video games into a single group called "gamers."

But Code is Law! It's decentralized and trustless, I'm really disappointed with the victims for going to big government, with cryptocurrency there's no need for government, lawyers, or banks. The blockchain clearly already decided that the ETH belongs to the two brothers.

The staff in maid cafes in Japan don't kneel nor provide massages.

Get some people to write really passionately about moving off of it, apparently.

The premier sensors enabling Windows Hello fingerprint authentication are not as secure as manufacturers had hoped. Researchers have discovered security flaws in a number of fingerprint sensors used in several laptops that work with the Windows Hello authentication feature.

They don’t use trackers, they are not targeted and they respect your privacy.

In that case it won't matter to anyone that I skipped them.

Since Android Webview is Chromium, this reads to me like it's making it into Chrome anyway.
It's behind some restrictions, but now that it's deployed Google can

  1. test it in live environments, making sure everything works
  2. more easily enable it for Chrome proper with fewer to no restrictions
    They'll probably do this in the future using a staged rollout similar to what they did for Youtube and adblockers.

The fact that it's making it into production means the only concession Google made was admitting that they know that some of us vocally oppose it.
I'd continue encouraging friends and family to use Firefox.

Were the hackers before not highly skilled? Moderately skilled hackers, perhaps?

This is unfortunately a lot less impressive than it looks, since it's wheeled and not bipedal.

So, modest but capable hardware, and accessible pricing, enabled by scale and software sales. The modern handheld market might have had its roots in the revival of pocket PCs, but it's by far at its strongest when it's most console-like.

This is "the point" from the article, which is that we expect a portable handheld to provide an experience like a console portable handheld would, rather than a PC in a small form factor. My two cents is that I've found the Steam Deck's "sleep" function to be very much like a console's, and it's not something that Windows does very well.
