Bluetooth devices is the main way stores track their shoppers if the shopper is not connected to the “free” WiFi.

$60 was a lot considering PS1 and Dreamcast games were in the $50 range.

According to an online inflation calculator, from 1996 inflation rose 103.4%. So if game prices followed inflation, $50-$60 games should be $100-$120.

Good point about inflation.

I’m really curious on how powerful the Switch 2 will be in comparison to the handhelds in the market now.

The Switch 2 will hit store shelves on June 5 for $449.99.

Mario Kart World will cost $80, an increase from $60, which is what Nintendo charged for Switch games.

Um… Wow.

With these prices, they better have one hell of a line up besides a Mario Kart that looks about the same and Street Fighter 6.

I’m very interested on how powerful this thing is if it’s price is going to be higher than the LCD Steam Deck and $100 less than the OLED model.

That’s what I assumed. Thanks for confirming.

I know this happened a few years ago but would having a separate work profile through Shelter, Island, or Insular limit the app to only see those on the profile?

This is probably just to get around any data privacy laws left intact.

There are over a hundred comments critical of Mozilla on that post.

Here’s a follow up post. Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data

Over a 50 comments. I don’t see any evidence of systematic downvoting.

Where do you see systematic downvoting?

Also what is your definition of systematic? Is 4 downvotes systematic to you?

Here is a link to said post in this community: Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic | Mozilla says it deleted promise because “sale of data” is defined broadly

The top post is critical of Mozilla has a 250 / 4 ratio. Where do you see systematic downvoting?

People criticize Mozilla all the time here. Look at the post about changing their privacy statement.

This is going to affect Firefox a lot more than it will affect Apple. At least Apple have options to shift money around. Firefox doesn’t.

Yeah. He addresses it without much of a response.

And there’s good arguments to be made that my hotspot is still trackable. Plus some of the apps I keep aren’t great for privacy (like Duolingo, for example). Try as I might, there’s only so much “harm reduction” I can do, and I could certainly get more protection by doing more. But as I’ve written about before, privacy is a spectrum, not a binary state of being.

He keeps a lot of crap that has user names and passwords. A VPN won’t really help with those.

He also uses free public WiFi. It’s probably okay since a lot of phones have randomized MAC addresses now but with facial recognition, they can easily attach that address with your identity.

Please forgive me for assuming your comfort level. I am sorry.

The rules also ban the use of facial recognition equipment in public places such as hotel rooms, public bathrooms, public dressing rooms, and public toilets.

This makes sense.

But this also means private businesses are still allowed to use facial recognition everywhere else you aren’t getting naked, lie a hotel lobby.

Yes but kids are less likely to lose watches.

I see so vertical integration.

Thank you for taking the time to inform me.

That’s what heavily state subsidised and controlled manufacturing will get you.

I heard about the heavy state subsidies from someone living there. Sounds good to me.

What does controlled manufacturing mean?

If they love Rand so much, let the market decide. Fucking cowards.

Land of the free ^for the rich^.

I just came back from Thailand. I got a Grab and driver pulls up in a BYD. I have never been in one. It is a really nice car from what I can see. I asked dude how much the car was. He said it was under ฿1M Which is $30,000 US. I was shocked.

I saw hybrids and electric cars everywhere there.
