I agree that Honey is a sleazy extension, but should I be worried that if they lose, it will set a bad precedent? From the video, the Honey extension works by injecting a Honey referral code into all online shopping transactions, possibly overwriting whatever influencer referral code the user was under. If Honey loses, the court decision is likely to say that an extension creator is liable if they tamper with referral codes and tracking links.
This will be a problem for privacy extensions that strip out tracking cookies and referral URLs, since they are also messing with influencer attribution, though not for profit but at the request of the user.
Grandfathered in under old ratings. If they rerelease it they would replace it with a minigame about killing healthcare CEOs or something.
If you play Pokemon Let's Go, the Team Rocket casino was raided by the police and closed (or something, I don't remember the exact excuse for why you cannot get in).
I think we have had enough leaks to all but confirm that the next Nintendo system will look like the Switch except slightly larger and the controller attachment will involve magnets in some way.
What I am interested in is the software. The Switch did not have the whimsy apps that previous systems had. I still carry forward Miis from my Wii as a guest book of friends and family I played with. I loved StreetPass Plaza; I would take my 3DS on the subway with me every day and get random passerbys as NPCs in my games. The Switch doesn't have any built in software that sparks joy like that, since I imagine, the system was rushed to fill in the Wii U void and developers were busy getting the handheld/dock mode working.
Hopefully there is a demo for it. I tried the demo for Fitness Boxing 2 and did not like that it seemed to measure when I pulled my arm back, not when I threw a punch. In order to hit timing triggers, I had to throw slow, careful punches and then do a crisp controlled recovery.
Nintendo is estimating that about 12.5 million Switches will be sold in 2024. Previously, Nintendo predicted that the Switch would sell 13.5 million for the year. That means that the demand for the Switch is dropping off a bit faster than they expected but it is still selling.
Uncharted and Last of Us are first party Sony games. If they were to say that a game can still be enjoyable without cutting edge graphics no one would want to buy the latest PlayStation iteration.
Maybe, but I could see the Celtics falling short due to lack of size. Even when everyone is healthy, the Celtics front court tends to be one big player and two small forwards. Not that they have much of a choice since their two best bigs are Horford, who is too old to play for long stretches, and Porzingis, who is injury prone. In the playoffs last year, the Celtics struggled to contain dominant bigs like Bam.
How is Nintendo using emulators news? All the virtual console games and "Classic" systems run an emulator. It would not be too surprising if Nintendo ported their in-house emulator to run on Windows.
It probably means that they are going to keep using the Switch Online backend for their next console. Why throw away working friends lists and online matchmaking?
According to them, they registered a Super PAC to run this promotion. As a Super PAC, they were able to buy data about voters (did the voter vote in the last election and, separately, predicted party affiliation based on profiling).
How does the Musk part work? Musk launched a petition to pledge support for guns and free speech (I think that is what it is about, I did not read it nor understand how that is a petition). To AstroTurf support for the petition, he set up a referral code system. If you get a voter in a key state to sign the petition and say that you told the voter to sign, Musk's Super PAC will pay you $47.
Getting people to sign Musk's petition feels a bit wrong, even if the money is going to what CAH thinks is a good cause.
I don't follow teams outside of my local, so what is the story with Griffin? From a quick Google, I don't see anything about a debilitating injury or serious off the court issues, just that he struggled to find a role in the NBA. Normally, I would expect a guy like that to spend the rest of his rookie contract as a bench warmer or playing in the G League and then turning his experience practicing with NBA stars into a career in a less competitive league.
I would say both New Orleans and Memphis should be in the East, since the US regions, as I learned them in school, would say both of those are in the Southeast while, for historical reasons, Minnesota is in the Midwest. Obviously, that would make the conferences unbalanced, so we could move Milwaukee or Chicago into the West.
