They’re factually not though. If you’ve somehow caught them doing it, transferring gigs and gigs and gigs of data per hour, provide the evidence please. These claims of yours are simple to prove if true.

You read that wrong. They didn’t say there are sales, as in discounts, available. They said they’re getting sales, ie selling every unit they produce, even with the price increase.

Calling the switch “niche” when comparing it to a steam deck or other handhelds is hilarious. The switch 2 outsold the steam decks entire lifetime sales on release day. I say lifetime as in not just how many it had sold up til then, but how many more it will sell in the future too lol.

Unfortunately game console price drops are pretty much gone for the foreseeable future and have been since we started getting to the 7nm-ish node sizes.

The main reason for price cuts in the PS3/360 era and earlier was technological advancement in terms of shrinking the node. This gave instant massive price reductions to the company, and allowed them to then redesign the console to be much smaller with less cooling since the chips now are smaller and generated way less heat.

That doesn’t happen anymore. There’s no shrinking to be done.

When you add in the cost increases for RAM and SSDs, it’s a match made in hell for customers.

OLED costs more than LCD, significantly so, so to keep costs down they used LCD. Pretty simple really. OLED also has various issues that LCD doesn’t have that mean it won’t last anywhere near as long as an LCD screen does.

I love OLED screens, but after my $3k LG OLED tv started showing the PUBG UI every time there was red on the screen where the UI was, I’ve switched back to LCD for gaming and am not regretting it.

Plausible deniability? How?

You think they are? How?

Did you happen to notice the title of the topic you’re in?

What does that have to do with what I said?

A creep using them to record in a bathroom would be illegal, light bypassed or not.

I’m not sure if you’ve realised, but creeps have been finding ways to film women and girls illegally for as long as there have been ways to film women and girls. That doesn’t make everyone taking photos and videos in public a creep like you pretend it does.

It doesn’t matter if you trust the developer or not, that’s the whole point of the system-level controls for these things.

That’s not what is being discussed though (streaming video to fb/google/government/etc).

That’s where it would start crossing the line into surveillance, which has strict laws around it.

There shouldn’t really be. Phones can easily record people without their knowledge even as you walk right past them.

It’s just a poorly, or non-researched ad for a VPN basically.

If you give something location access, read what it uses it for. Pretty straight forward.

People will, and are. Business licenses still get included usage amounts btw.

For simply stating the obvious?

In most of the world the law is pretty straight forward here - no expectation of privacy in public. Knowing this isn’t “creepy”. Not knowing this is hilarious.

TOS aren’t just legal by default. If Valve are indeed saying that they will delist Ubisoft games if they sell their own games elsewhere for cheaper than they do on Steam, that will absolutely get them in trouble with the law. That’s classic anti-competitive behaviour. It’s abusing their market position.

I understand the “problem”, but I understand that if you’re out in public you’re giving up some privacy. This isn’t a hard concept to understand. It’s literally in the name - public. Public is the opposite of private.

Laws exist around where you can and can’t film, and on the streets you can film. What you do with the footage also has laws around it, but a creep walking around taking photos of fully clothed women in public so he can jerk off to it isn’t breaking any laws.

But you said it won’t pass muster in the US? I’m saying it does. Most of Europe also allows recording in public. Which countries don’t?

It’s also completely wrong about the apps on iOS which have system level controls for approx and precise location.

On iOS Edge, and all other apps, have a precise location setting alongside the location settings, so is this only talking about Android?

You can choose to use approximate or precise location right in the settings:

If you have never selected it doesn’t even get your approximate location.
