Many parent control apps are more like Spyware and are often also exactly that, Spyware which spy on your Kids. Or Google Family Link is also a great example which you can’t remove even if you want too (as parent).

limit what applications they can launch
what websites they can visit
how much screen time they spend in an app or category of apps
disable in app purchases
disable pop up advertisements in app
require approval from parent account for any app download (including free)
remove ability to delete apps or change specific settings
Google family link gives you controls over:
<span style="color:#323232;">Android app activity and limits
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Filters on Chrome, including custom black and whitelisting for websites
</span><span style="color:#323232;">SafeSearch to remove sexually explicit and violet results in Google Search
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Usage limits, including individual app limits
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Google Play purchases, content restrictions, approval for app installs

sourceSeems like rather similar options to me?
But I have to admit to never having used either anyway.
As of August 6, 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has grossed $574.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $779.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.355 billion.
at 69.99 a game, would mean the total volume sold is roughly $1.295 billion, 60 million less than the Super Mario Movie.
I’m not certain if the movie gross is the same calculation though. It seems that the calculation is fair But data for Tears of the Kingdom is about a month older so that it seems possible it passed The Super Mario Movie by now.
there is an estimation i saw about the development cost of Breath of the Wild, at somewhere between 80 and 120 million USD. Breath of the Wild was 4 years in Development, Tears of the Kingdom spent 6 years in Development.
above 120 million for Tears of the Kingdom doesn’t seem unreasonable.
i totally forgot about those, and assumend the mix-up of room temperature and “high-temperature”, because “high” is very relative and confused me as well.
Several players have said they’ll exit the UK rather than exit encryption.
rightly so.
I’d assume any worldwide player couldn’t be caught in compliance with this, as long as alternatives exist that don’t.
This might have been enough to push EU people away from WhatsApp for example.
If he thinks Twitter is irreperably dying, this may be a way, in which he can get out of repaying the loans he used to (partially) fund the buyout of twitter.
depends how the loans worked.
I was assuming his majority shares of X (ex Twitter) collateral.
And that that he could just go “yeah, go on, collect on your collateral, I don’t mind”, because it’s not worth anything anymore.
But admittedly I have no Idea how the contracts were drawn up, if this is possible and if his other money would be available to collect on.
The much maligned “Trusted Computing” idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google’s ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google’s...
Firefox will most likely support this, if it doesn’t want to get cut off from most of the web.
well, if more people used Firefox websites couldn’t just throw them under the bus, which is why I said it’s so important.
We’ll have to see, but I’d hope Firefox puts up at least some resistance.
I didn’t like the fact that for the “pc-setting” in the 8bitdo you have to use the dongle, and can’t use bluetooth.
also the kingkong2 pro has exchangeable abxy buttons, so you can change them to the correct layout for the thing you’re currently playing on (which may be extremely useful with the little brother, depending on his age)
Has any info been leaked about the profit margin Steam Decks are for Valve?
Well, seems like it’s very unlikely that they lose money the more Decks they sell, I’d expect the 64gb model to go out at pretty much their cost per device.
The Markup between the 512 model and the 64gb model is much higher than any OEM cost I would expect, so there’s probably a little margin in there.
oh damn, brilliant point, I have to admit I missed that.
To be generous to the writers:
Equipment required for that side is heavier, and/or requires more power/support than humans
But we haven’t seen anything about that
