I'm curious to see if this will be merely a packaged version of the web page or something more.

One wonders if dropping Play Services support is enough to motivate a user who is already sufficiently determined to use a phone this outdated.

Perhaps you were being sarcastic, but I'm very excited about this feature. I often visit rural areas, and if I got a flat I would love my phone to be useful for letting family know what's going on.

If it helps, I only have a high refresh phone display. I don't notice the difference when I'm using my slower displays because I'm not used to seeing those applications at a higher refresh rate. It doesn't seem to bother my mind.

I only notice it when I'm using another phone at a lower refresh rate.

Precisely this. I didn't notice it much when I started using it, but I switch between phones frequently for software development, and I definitely feel the difference. It's nice, but it's not a life-changing difference. It's just a difference.

My dad: Unions are what's wrong with this country. I do everything I can to undermine them in the workplace.

Also my dad: They're abusing the workers! I can't even get a day off when I'm deathly ill without getting fired. Why won't anybody stand up for us?!

Don't even get me started on healthcare. He's a diabetic. You'd think it'd be a priority for him.

Short answer is no. Long answer is no. The problem is their drivers (and hardware) are very young so there's a lot of odd things games can do that hurt performance in unexpected ways.

In practice they are not as good because Intel lacks experience, but I think they're on the right track. Is it worth the money today? Probably not. The risk of coming across a game that doesn't run well is just too high.

I really wanted Intel to be a serious contender for my last GPU purchase but there were too many good, consistently performing options in that price range for it to make a lot of sense.

Wow! It was hardly worth it to begin with.

If an instance is just being slow I'll hop on to one of my other accounts, let alone down. My client makes that easy to do.

User-driven load balancing!

All refers to everything that your instance knows about. Your instance only retrieves data for which users are actually subscribed.

All can be weird on small instances if the user subscriptions don't have a nice distribution.

This is a good point for not choosing too small. I've made a couple of accounts, and it looks like when a servers crosses that 1,000 or 2,000 user mark you start getting much better consistency than the micro instances with only a few hundred users.

I usually find that I have to reload a few times if I'm the first person to try to subscribe to a community. That happens uncomfortably too often if the instance is small. Even then, it can take a days or possibly never to properly federate.

I'm sure these issues will be fixed, but for now, I'd like myself a small instance but not too small so as to avoid issues with consistency.

Only 47%? You'd be a fool to invest.
