    iOS & tvOS support any controller that can appear as an Xinput Xbox Controller, PS4/PS5 controller, or Switch Pro controller. 8BitDo just doesn’t call out this compatibility for so…

    Windows 7 and Windows 10 had very similar minimum hardware requirements, and few if any artificial restrictions on what hardware is supported. Same with Windows XP when moving to W…

    Except not really, because they reversed course on that, added a bunch of new features, and continued to maintain and update it. It never had feature parity with the site, but it d…

    Those stats are two years old. Everything I can find says Ireland is majority Android.

    Those stats are two years old. http://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/mobile/ireland Current stats show Android in the lead. As it is almost everywhere.

    I never said people don't have issues with battery life. I said it's not a driver for most phone purchases, and I stand by that. Good battery life or better than average is a nice …

    They’ve announced it will not be built into the Windows client as they would have to rewrite it for the new codebase. It’s still available for the Mac client, but they’ve essential…
