I like jailbreaks.

But to jailbreak you need to stay on an older iOS version (because Apple patches the bugs enabling the jailbreaks). And that means you don't get security updates.

> takes away your ownership of games with their game code carts, tries to control and destroy the second hand market.

That's wrong. The game key-cards are just a proof of ownership. You can sell the key-cards or buy used ones without any problem.

The only difference between a key-card and regular game cartridge is that key-cards will require you to download the game.

Nintendo is much better than their competition (Sony) in this aspect

What they meant is that, in terms of scale, the jump from 7.8 to 7.9 is more or less the same as the jump from 7.9 to 8.0

This is similar to Linux kernel versioning

It is end-to-end encrypted, but aren't chat history backups stored in plain text on some server?

Due to consoles being very locked down and due to them preventing users from running unsigned code, cheaters aren't a problem in multiplayer games on console

No not really. Most of it is handled for you. You don't install anticheat because the console already has DRM. You don't update your drivers because driver updates are bundled with OS updates (and you can't connect to the store without being on the latest update anyway). You don't compile shaders because they are pre-compiled on console.

Those are mostly PC-exclusive features.
