None of the is loaded on startup. It takes additional time to load any of those features after 5 seconds of starting up.

Honestly, I have no idea what business Steam has starting for whopping 5 seconds as it is right now (after the 'speedup').

It is a simple shell for launching already downloaded apps. This is disgrace and nothing to boast about, especially considering Valve takes 30% cut of basically PC gaming marked for making it.

Sure, no one know nothing but you.

Listening to russians they are, in fact, the force of good in the World, not a colonial power profiteering from extinguishing hundreds of peoples across Asia and occupying half of Europe for good part of 20st century, not at all.

What next? Bolshoi theater and tolstoyevsky?

It is also arm of fascist government comnmitting outright genocide with war which affected tens of millions and over million victims.

They absolutely censor all Ukrainian content, proactively collaborate with russian 'law enforcement' and just plain out owned by state.

Which one is bloat or locked-down here?

Honestly, how do you experience those two? Because my personal experience is opposite.

What does it mean for you for a product to be 'locked down'? Mac OS has amazing range of customizability, with endless options to change it with APIs and third party apps. So far I didn't encounter behaviour I don't like and wasn't able to change. What is your list? Or it means something different for you?

And what does "bloated" means for you? I understand what it means in regards to Windows. It constantly gives me options I didn't ask for. Like when I press Start button I feel like I am at the Time Square with ads and stuff I didn't ask for yelling at me. I don't have such expericense with macOS. And apple intelligence fits right in - if you don't ask for it it won't show itself.

Are we looking at the same stock? I am confused where this data is coming from. What I see is stock slightly higher than it was week ago, fell compared to day ago, and the change is 1-2%, way less than you 50% fall claim.

I thought it was something clever, but it shows as URL in QR Scanner, not an APP, which opens browser after activating it, then user would have to confirm redirect to App Store on empty page

TL;DR: it is HTTP redirect based on User-Agent header

From description I thought this is more 'View on a Virtual TV' rather than a full VR thing, I may be wrong. This is good, because I, honestly, find that a lot of my VR time is sitting or lying down.
