  If it wasn’t better than that, no company would want arbitration cases.

  The Android version of the app still has the zoom/cursor offset bug when using a software keyboard from when they sunset RDP 8. That has been a severe usability bug for over three years now.

  I would buy this argument if the US had any effective consumer privacy laws in the first place and Byte Dance were flagrantly ignoring them.

  The issue of course is that the US doesn’t want to cripple their own social media companies by passing laws that everyone has to follow in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok confirms it offered US government a 'kill switch'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with this, especially because this hasn’t pushed any discussion forward about federal level consumer privacy laws in the United States.

  Yeah - the operating system (or perhaps the display hardware itself, not sure) has to stretch each software pixel to a fractional amount of larger hardware pixels. In the case of upscaling 720p to 1080p, each 720p software pixel has to stretch to 1.33 hardware pixels. This forces blending to occur, which makes the image less sharp.

  The worst part of this in my opinion is reading text.

  You also lose integer scaling if you need to run a game at common resolutions below 1080p. (720p/800p, etc.)
