Slammed/slams is my absolute least favorite headline trend of the past decade. So trash.

Soon to be rebranded as Thunderbird

Because Firefox scrolling is terrible on android otherwise I’d use it.

The original large gameboys had a lock that utilized the slot via the power switch. The pocket removed the lock therefore allowing the non slotted Color games to be used in a pocket gameboy.

I’ve played maybe an hour or 2 on my PS2 maybe a year or two ago and the mechanics sounded so amazing, but in execution they don’t seem to work as intended like you said.

I typed it in, on one of the question where we could for drive. I did my part!

I’m aware that money is made. Most of the time companies are buying API feeds of data from the big 3. So unless someone specifically looked you up, then I am saying your data is probably just sitting in their databases.

What makes you think your data has even been sold at all? Most likely a majority of those companies are just resellers of TransUnion, Equifax, or Experian. The 3 big credit bureaus. So while incogni sent then requests the smaller companies may host no data of yours, just the other 3.

I mean you can add non steam games to steam. And you can then run them with compatibility tools such as Proton. Just right click the game and I think in preferences it’ll have an option to force the use of compatibility tools.

I own quite a lot of mp3s legally. Host them on a 50 dollar raspberry pi with something called Navidrome which uses a protocol called subsonic.

I can stream my own music from my home to my phone etc or anywhere. Otherwise yeah just having them locally is the other best option.

Would this allow you to get achievements/trophies then?

As a programmer: “your data is boring. I am not interested in leveraging this for anything besides getting the service you are using to work as well as possible”

Also me as a programmer: “yo, you don’t need that data, stop asking for it. Ohh, your app is broken because it can’t access permissions? Yeet.”

It’s not about the programmers. It’s about the company and the ability to make money off of data they get from you. You should be the one who gets money for your data. Not Microsoft, not Google etc.

Is Microsoft making money off of this particular telemetry data? Maybe not. It should always be opt-in

This just simply isn’t accurate. There are often extra features that require an internet connection. And there are also some blu-ray movies that might require some form of internet connection to watch but the vast majority of consumer blu ray movies require no internet connection to watch them.
