They shouldn't even disallow screenshots from a security measure. If the user wants to take a screenshot of their bank account info or a password manager they should. Maybe an additional permission for screenshare. No device has protection against a second device taking a recording so it's really just security theater

Aptera for airplanes would be cool. I doubt you could generate enough power in-flight, but maybe after sitting outside for a few days

They can stop piracy or child predators. what makes you think they can prevent access to running models that require no internet access to run

It made more sense in Demon's Souls where the game was more linear so you'll more likely to encounter the NPC without a guide.

Though one would hope that they could leverage their advanced models to create native software per platform that can perform better.

> ed-tech games have a fairly low density of actual useful learning. I can attest to this: eager to give my son a head start on the phonetic skills involved in reading, I tried a few different iPad games with him. He mostly messed around randomly until he got the reward, largely ignoring the educational content to fixate on the cute cartoon characters.

I feel like defaulting to an ipad game is the wrong move here.

We solved this in the 90's! https://archive.org/search?query=emulator%3A%28*%29+jumpstar...
