Motorola and Nokia have phones with 3.5mm jack, and they come with pretty clean Android, without a bunch of bloat, aggressive task killers and whatnot. Though I can't speak for camera, photosphere or repairability.

Pixels are good in some ways, but of course, those don't come with a 3.5mm jack.

The problem is the previous one only has 2G, and the 2G networks will soon be shut down, hence why they're making a 4G version.

It's too bad the native Linux versions of old id Tech 0/1/2/3/4 games aren't being posted on Steam.

And worse, for the old id Tech 0/1 games it's not even the Windows version, nor a native emulator, it's running the DOS version in the Windows version of DOSBox in Proton.

Although now I notice this is actually a remake, not the id Tech 1 original.

And film grain

Expect updates to a lot of things in the near future.

And also a lot of things that remain unpatched for years

That's not at all the same thing. That requires downscaling some screens, which makes everything blurry and breaks subpixel AA.

It's probably not the same people. Microsoft is a big company

I find it ridiculous to have a car tied to a specific mobile OS

And no woman command

And the branchless version may end up being slower on the CPU, because the compiler does a better job optimizing the branching version.

Or are GPUs particularly bad at branches.

Yes. GPUs don't have per-core branching, they have dozens of cores running the same instructions. So if some cores should run the if branch and some run the else branch, all cores in the group will execute both branches, and mask out the one they shouldn't have run. I also think they they don't have the advanced branch prediction CPUs have.
