  • What kind of stuff is he into? My son loves simulator games like…

    • BeamNG Drive - better with a wheel but very playable on controller.
    • Snowrunner
    • American truck simulator
    • Farming simulator
    • Construction simulator
    • Lawn mowing simulator

    There are a lot of good kart games on PC also, though I will say that my favorite - Sonic Racing Transformed - is much harder than Mario Kart.

    Minecraft Dungeons is basically Diablo for kids.

    Minecraft is good but I also like Dragon Quest Builders.







  • It’s mobile where I like the tab groups really, and unfortunately the extensions I’ve found that try to mimic the functionality don’t work there. Honestly that’s the big one but it’s pretty major for me. With the way I tend to browse and research topics it’s hard to manage without tab groups.

    The only other big one is services that don’t support Firefox. I use GeForce Now for game streaming so I do that through Brave.





  • Yeah they were using AT&T. Remember that at the time Kindle books were limited with respect to images so you’re talking a couple megabytes tops. The Lord of the Rings trilogy in its entirety, images and all, is 12MB. The primary use case was whisper sync which is just sending page numbers.

    Plus this was on 3G while AT&T had moved mostly over to LTE, so you weren’t competing for bandwidth with most subscribers. I imagine Amazon got a pretty good deal, but more importantly it helped cement them as the default option for e-readers.
