Yup. Coming from the company that brought you IE6 and ActiveX.

"But their cloud push is actually making their services available to more OS's, they're changing" some people said.

Bah

Which might be good for detecting if somebody somewhat widely distributed a recorded copy, but not if it was just for personal use. Also, if the capture process creates loss there's a good chance it might degrade the watermark as well

And that's my point. The digital tags are already being setup that they can adjust within under a minute. People get off work at 4-5pm, better jack up prices for the next few hours!

A bunch of people buying bread at a given time, jack up prices!

Recorded a larger number of people entering through the front turnstile. Yup, pump up those prices!

And with digital tags they can update at any time, so unless you've got a video camera running to price that bread was $3.99 and not $4.99 when you picked it up off the shelf...

It's not just TwitX, there's a bunch on Lemmy and Reddit feeds too

While they're at it, investigate the use of digital price tags on store shelves, especially grocery stores

It didn't like trying to generate a picture of a female anime-style character that included waffles and spices. I dunno if waffles are maybe some sort of slang for something perverted but FFS we just wanted something with food

Yeah, but it also makes the device a lot less useful unless you're by wifi, and then the triangulation will basically show where you were up to the point you dropped off-network. I already turn off location in software until it's needed - mostly for battery concerns but also some privacy - so having a hard switch would be much more convenient. Tower would still be able to triangulate but accuracy on that can be pretty variable.

IP lookups are kinda useless for GeoIP on phones. Mine shows a location thousands of km away where my provider terminates connections, and they're shared IP's.

Yeah I realize how GPS triangulates but it still needs an antenna to pick up the GPS signal, which could have a physical cutoff.

Pixels have an MMWave Antenna.

I'd kinda prefer one for the GPS versus network
