Anything kernel level can theoretically modify anything in your TPM too, so Linux programs that use it (admittedly I'm not sure any user program use it) could be manipulated in weird ways

Hopefully we can still get some traction going against Vanguard, Windows users haven't been the greatest fans of the system on Valorant, maybe with enough voices riot will think twice about it? We still have a few possible outs though, Vanguard is not gonna be enabled on the macOS version, so either we can convince riot that Linux is as big of a platform as macOS or we can hope for Darling to get to the point where we can play games with it.

Thanks for doing the work, I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

CarPlay and Android Auto aren't car OSes though, they're merely an infotainment interface. You still need a way for the user to check the tire pressure, choose between sports mode and eco mode... Cars manufacturers could just implement the basics and let CarPlay/Auto do the rest but in that case anyone that doesn't have a compatible phone is stuck without infotainment, same if you run out of battery.

CarPlay and Auto being so good is somewhat to blame for first party interfaces being that bad though: why spend litteral millions on look and feel if you know the users who care won't be using it

Sea Drakes were all made by the Sea Dragon, but that doesn't mean they're all loyal to her, maybe one got snatched by the corporation you're targeting when they were young for instance!

The Sea Leech sounds like a pretty interesting thing to meet, very alien looking, very toxic. Also depending on your run maybe you'd want to include some Sea Drakes!

Right so the Emerged Dolphin is called a Flipper, Fish are of course E-Fish, Sharks are Ravagers and Whales are extremely rare and are called Migaloo. For the birds I'd probably use the stat block of the Iridescent Owl, a toxic owl that mutated due to heavy metals and oil.

There's the technomancer fishs/dolphins/whales that tend to confuse runners a bit at first, I'd probably try to go for a toxic bird too? Like take the stat block of a toxic critter and apply it to a sea bird half-fused with oil

I think it's canon that wether in DnD or PF anyone can learn arcane magic if they take the time to do so (and they have a way to pay for it, most people can't afford to not work for 5-10 years)

The thing is, even if someone has the money and the time maybe they don't want to spend it, especially if magical scrolls/wands can let you cast spells fairly easily.

To me it's the same thing as saying to some kid "you can learn to be a robotics engineer and in 5-10 years and $100k of debt you'll be able to make robots that can do anything for you, including being strong" and the kid just replies "That's cool, but I think I'll just go to the gym thank you"

It somewhat makes sense in universe though, if any guy who spends a few years in a magic school can best your guards/rookie soldiers without a sweat there would only be magic users!

Not exactly, most of the characters seem to call the company E Corp but the main character (who's also the narrator) "corrects it" in his head.
