Until a headset is as unobtrusive as a pair of eyeglasses it will not see mass appeal,

You mean like Google Glass? I don't think that went anywhere either.

It would not be the first time they put out a massively expensive and wholly useless product decades ahead of its need.

Do you have any examples? Massively expensive is always the case, but I can't think of a product that Apple launched that was decades ahead of its need.

Maybe half a byte, like a nibble

I didn't even see the second one fully, as it was behind an icon. Thanks for spotting that one for me

I don't know, following instructions is pretty bot-like to me, fam. /s

I see how it can be interpreted that way.

Can't have extramarital affairs without being married though. That's kinda what it means. Outside of (an existing) marriage.

Why are they calling it Aafrica? Or is that just part of the other typos / spelling errors?

How does one interpret "extramarital affairs" as "minding their own business outside of marriage"?

Nice video. Its funny how he ends it with saying not clicking on the ads. Apps with in-game ads can actually click through for you, so you end up on the store page without any user input. That feels illegal.

I have been entertaining the idea of making a video about these ads as well, in the form of what's being advertised and what's actually in the game. Also the claims they make in the ads should be scrutinized. I want to raise awareness for these types of ads because reporting them to Google won't do anything and is notoriously hard (a dark pattern in itself, very convenient to Google).

Would there be any interest in videos like this? I have a bunch of ads recorded that are questionable as fuck and it might be a very depressing journey.

If The Pokémon Company decided to put some polish into those games instead of pumping out 3 within 15 months, I'm pretty sure most performance issues could have been solved or alleviated.

In the same vein, better hardware would not have automatically meant that the game would run without such issues.

An example could be AliExpress, with a 130B in revenue and 11B in profit (2023), it would reduce their profit to 3.2B with the 6% fine. That's a whopping 70% less profits, and cutting expenses isn't gonna fix it either.

If you cared to read the article, you will find that they also are investigating AliExpress, Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok.
