5:40 - that's because of the app is running in a vm and when you switch xbox apps, you effectively turn off or put the web browser vm to sleep and then turn on the gaming vm or other app vm you choose. And same thing goes to peripherals, the hypervisor just shares peripherals and when you shut off the vm for web browsing, it disconnects the peripherals in use. And if it didn't, it can lead to some security complications imo.

The Xbox is still using its apps (like the browser) in a closed sandbox environment, meaning each app has to be active to enable apps specific features such as peripherals. This was implemented to both protect the user from potential online treats such as having some kind of hack/pluging tools take over the controls of the XBox (or recording inputs outside of the apps) from within the browser as well as allowing the OS to be protected from potential intrusion.

But once it’s up and running and restore recently closed tabs it’s business as usual with those 350+ tabs open across ~6 windows and 15 or so other apps up and running. With the amount I get randomized at work there’s a lot of context switching that has me actively using all those apps and tabs in a typical week, so they’re not usually open just for the sake of being open. Now running VisualStudio.. that can make my PC cry all on its own.

chrome os is a GNU/Linux distro with a funny GUI so actually if you enable developer mode and open a terminal and start typing commands you can install a fully hardware accelerated normal GNU/Linux GUI and then switch between it and the default chrome os UI using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Arrow keys the tool to do this quickly is called crouton.Technically you can do the same thing with android devices but a lot of proprietary hardware drivers for phones are in Android userspace, while most chromebooks are very similar to normal laptop hardware, so the drivers in the kernel work with normal GNU/Linux userspace drivers. so it much easier in practice to use normal GNU/Linux GUI with a chromebook without reinstalling the entire operating system and have full hardware acceleration, while on my android phone my GNU/Linux chroot cannot access GPU and Linux distros for phones cannot access its GPU either because the proprietary motherboard has not been reverse engineered enough to enable this

I used that excuse on my Mom when I was just knee high to a grasshopper, in the late 80s, to get a NES control deck (deluxe with smb1/duckhunt and a extra controller and the orange zapper). I remember her months later trying to find a compatible keyboard. LMFAO there was never any way to do homework on an NES, I was playing Mega Man 2, chip and dale rescue Rangers, smb1 & 3, It was only that She asked me if I'd do my homework on it before we got it and I simply agreed. Of course it's for games only pretty much. I didn't know. I seen it once at a friend's house and went crazy for it, so did my Sister's. They could have made a keyboard and disk system for it in the Americas, but they didn't.

​@@jsteezus OK, guys. This isn't gonna fucking happen. Why? In four words, game and app security. The minute Microsoft opens up the console as a full PC is the minute that others will find ways to break into the console and play backup or pirated copies of games and cheat in games online and offline. Notice how just the browser alone is heavily sandboxed. That isn't an accident or a beta fluke or whatever, and unless Microsoft somehow pulls some magical way out of their ass to allow users to access the full console without compromising security, you can expect that restriction to remain until the end of the XSX's life. With that said, you don't want consoles becoming another PC anyway. That's not where a console's strength lies. You can add media center features to it, sure, but trying to make it like a PC would be a huge mistake for everyone.

KZread still runs on the PS3 web browser, but most of the newer sites will not load at all. Its kind of in a limbo state of being on its last leg and functioning just fine. My guess is that in about 5-10 years the PS3 web browser will no longer be able to open any websites as they will all move to newer versions and eventually Google wont open on it. Its still fun to open it and look at a PS5 through the PlayStation website on a PS3.

They restrict the amount of ram on all the consoles. It's not like PC where apps can use all the available RAM. For example, Series X has 16GB total, 10GB for games, 2.5GB system and 3.5GB for apps and games. This means games can use up to 13.5GB but doing so will suspend the app. You can see this because some games will kill apps while others do not.
