Algorithmic face scans are “dangerous, whether used to estimate our age, our name, or other demographics,” EFF’s Adam Schwartz told @PCMag.com. EFF favors “a ban on government use of this technology, and strict regulation… for corporate use.” www.pcmag.com/explainers/...

Satya Nadella's apparent disinterest in understanding the gaming industry is ruining the entire @xbox.com brand. It won't matter how much profit they squeeze out of each customer if they drive them all away. #xbox #microsoft

“WHOAH! Be careful not to step in that pile of shit there!” exclaimed the man pulling his pants back up.
Fascinated how the guy who made superstars of Matt Walsh, Candace Owens, Jordan Peterson, and Michael Knowles thought that unfettered racism and every phobia in existence wouldn't eventually include anti-semitism

Someone else just posted this exact image the other day. Don't do this. It will drain your battery unnecessarily and you'll be waiting for someone to discover your voicemail message. Call or text 911 instead. It's your best bet.

Absolutely do not change your voicemail greeting if you're lost without service

Don't pass it along. If you're stranded and have low battery, dial 9-1-1. Don't wait for someone to try to call you.

My guess is Switch 2 will get the game key card, so I'll have to buy the Switch 1 version to actually own a full copy of the game. @square-enix-games.com seems to really love the game key cards, which means I won't be buying their games anymore.

Seriously. I'm able to restore Piko games, but never download an update with my Wi-Fi. I have to break out a USB to ethernet adapter so I can tether with my phone.

Right? I already don't want anything modern due to the lack of privacy and tracking every single aspect of your life. This just makes it all seem so much more horrible.

@square-enix-games.com Just to be clear - releasing a game as a Game-Key Card instead of a cartridge that holds the full game simply guarantees I will not buy ANY version of that game.

I hope this keeps the hallucinations/dream sequences/etc. to a minimum. Based on that trailer it might not be the case, but I actively dislike that aspect of the Black Ops series. Especially in 6.

Why is Windows Update haranguing me to restart and install updates after downloading them over a metered connection when I have it set to never download over a metered connection? Windows is actively ignoring my settings and preferences because YOU somehow know better? @microsoft.com

There's a separate page to buy the controller by itself. I found this pic there. Not sure if that's the button you're talking about since I only ever had the one button controller.

According to Mad Little Pixel, the new games work on original hardware, so I would expect them to work here as well. Especially since Atari has invested in Polymega.

I want to know if that partnership will lead to Polymega selling those games on its website.

I'm convinced companies make their customer service processes unfathomably obtuse just to make people give up and go away.

Ok, but will we ever get to use Remote Play so we can use a native app to stream from a Series X in one room to an Xbox One in another room?
