They only bought it to use the exciting Apple exemption to app store percentages. Epic doesn't want to pay apple app store fees.

When that didn't work out, they don't have a need.

Epic is just a steaming POS.

Stop expecting people to see forests through the trees.

It's just so much easier to make points about the final picture than the process it took to form it.

In 1923 Hitler attempted a coup, spent 1924 in prison and still managed to win an election with his rhetoric of hate.

We're witnessing our own innate flaw, the human condition in real time here, buying into a faux populist persona whose only talent is spreading hate, fear and doubt.

I worry that some part of the population will always struggle without having someone to hate or put below themselves and the Hitlers and Trumps will always appeal to them.

The indifferents in the country will just let it happen, it didn't affect them they believe, until it's too late.

So, it's up to those who recognize what's going on to ensure we don't repeat the actions of a century ago.

The only way to ensure peace and tolerance is not to tolerate intolerance.

That's where we are today. The 1923 coup; Germany's Jan 6th, resulted in him going to jail and gaining more power.

History needs to first be taught before people can realize it's repeating.

It's more a case of supporting 10 year old hardware, maintaining the drivers to work with new software. As far as I've been able to find, there is no mention to lock them into the $current ChromeOS.

Still not fun, but damnit my Linux kernel can still load ISA drivers, and it's been 25 years since I've used one of those.
