Nothing changes now, parity is maintained between the EU and UK versions. However, this had to be done now because Facebook needs to allow time to make the transition and ask UK users if they agree to the terms again now they are separate from the EU.

They can't wait to do this because as soon as either the UK or EU changes their laws (may happen in a month, may not for years), the terms would no longer be valid for one set of users. Facebook would end up in a situation where its terms are invalid for millions of users potentially for months.

"Facebook’s UK users will remain subject to UK privacy law, which for now tracks the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)."

Situation seems to be getting worse: https://twitter.com/andy_kelley/status/1319705593146265600

yes, I'd forgot about that. Current gen and next gen are both AMD silicon.

AMD holds roughly 30 percent share of the CPU* and graphics card/GPU markets, that's far from insignificant and certainly not a "tiny fraction" or a "couple cards."

Nvidia acquiring ARM wouldn't pose much of a problem because they can just point to AMD, which already offers CPU and GPU, so it would put the two companies on a more even footing in that regard.

There's a confidence motion tomorrow evening at 7PM GMT. My understanding is, if the government loses a general election is triggered which takes a couple of months. So a new government could be in place before March 29th. However, I think if a general election was to happen then all sides would agree to ask for an extension to Article 50 and allow a few extra months for the new government to decide what to do. Another caveat to that: one manifest pledge in the election may be a 2nd referendum. If that party won then the 2nd ref would become the focus.

I think enabling this for Windows Home users would potentially turn into a bit of a support nightmare. The requirements for Sandbox include turning virtualization on in BIOS, it also recommends 8GB of RAM and 4 CPU cores with hyperthreading. Correct me if I'm wrong but most consumer laptops and desktops probably don't have a virtualization option in the BIOS and only a small percentage use 4 cores with hyperthreading. So it either won't work for a lot of Home users or even if it did run, performance wouldn't be great.

fair point. I disagree with his opinion because what he is suggesting is wrong. They aren't doing this to sell a few books.

everyone is entitled to an opinion, even if that opinion is quite clearly wrong. Phaser is a tiny team of very dedicated individuals and they have successfully produced one of the best JS/TS game frameworks. If you want better documentation, why not produce some? Want to help the team grow so they can afford to employ someone to write docs? Buy the books, pledge to the Patreon. Basically: help in some way. That's much more productive than suggesting they did all this work simply to sell some books.

Book is released on May 15. http://a.co/hC9N59E
