iPad Air 3rd gen Vs iPad 9th Gen
  • I would go with the iPad 9 just because it has a more powerful chip (A13 Bionic) than the Air 3 (A12 Bionic). Performance wise they may not be too different, but you should be able to squeeze an extra year out of it.

  • Why doesn't youtube shut down their public web api?
  • Meta made a twitter clone when they had the chance, they’ll happily make a YouTube clone.

    I don’t think Amazon or Microsoft are very interested in entering that market, but they are the only ones with the money and compute to support such a platform.

    Maybe Netflix could be interested? But I doubt it

  • Does Microsoft have the power to pull the plug on Linux gaming?
  • Not really. While Microsoft can (and does) develop newer frameworks and features integrated into the OS that can break compatibility with existing versions of proton and wine, these changes wouldn’t affect existing games or games developed with the older frameworks.

    And even if a new game is developed for these new incompatible frameworks, they will only remain incompatible until proton is patched to support them.

  • Would you support a mandatory retirement age of 75 for US House, US Senate & US Supreme Court Justices and if not why?
  • No.

    1. I think that 75 is already too old, especially because they won’t let go of their positions until their terms end even after the “mandated” age of retirement (unless the law specifically forbids taking a position you won’t be able to complete)
    2. Politicians will argue that this age is either too young or too old and will either never update this law, or update it so often it becomes meaningless.

    An alternative could be to set the limit to a percentage of average life expectancy, or some other variable, so the law isn’t as easy to ignore or mess with, the law can remain unchanged for decades and remain relevant without adverse effects (hopefully), and politicians are encouraged to improve the quality of life.

    Spotify quietly moves lyrics behind a paywall.
  • All the songs I have copied to iTunes get uploaded, but if you have the lossless versions they get converted to normal quality on other devices, or if you remove the local original copy.

    Music doesn’t support flac, though, you have to convert them to alac first.

    I also use a Mac, I don’t know if it’s different on windows

  • Police in Japan have arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of selling illegally modified Pokémon save data to customers online
  • Not to disagree with you, but PKHex is not a CLI application. It relies heavily on a visual interface.

    The problem is not (necessarily) using the program, but loading the save files to it.

    Modding an OG switch is relatively simple but dangerous process if you do something wrong. Modding any modern switch is practically impossible to do as a normal individual.

    But once you have that it’s a dead simple process to do it, and just a little bit time consuming to gen and trade the mons
