Some test achievement for a game I was developing, to check that the achievement integration and unlocking worked as expected. It later got replaced by the real achievements, but my Steam rarest achievement showcase still shows it, so I’m happy to keep it for the lols. Probably only me and a couple QA folks could possibly have it. Well and cheaters of course.
They didn’t announce their feast on social media.
And can we interest sir in an EU privacy law–mandated cookie consent pop-up?
That is the malicious compliance implementation that big tech went for in order to nag us into accepting all cookies, not at all what the EU law had in mind. ”Reject All” is supposed to be as easy to choose as ”Accept All”, or you know, you could just read my browser’s ”do not track” setting, that’s what it’s ducking for.
It’s a personal device. Nothing related to the mission.
Can I install it in edge? That would be funny. (I’m using edge at work…)
Thanks for the link. Looks like I had already turned it off.
Given how much cost Paradox have sunk into that game, they are just trying to break even here, I think. I’m not saying that means anyone should be okay with this, I’m just offering an explanation. But makes me wonder if that’ll actually work out, or if they end up losing more through that bad PR.
The final assembly is only part of the story though. As far as I understand, fairphone does actually try to check their supply chain to ensure the raw materials are (more) ethically sourced. As opposed to those optimizing for profit, who will intentionally look the other way.
If they handle personal data of EU citizens, they need to comply with GDPR.
Now, what’s gonna happen if they don’t? I don’t know what mechanics are in place to deal with that.
I’m in Sweden too. I was considering buying a used car made in 2023. It uses 2G/3G. It has some connected services I actually wanted to use. And well, the ecall obviously. It’s really not an old car yet, but it becomes obsolete already.
On the manufacturer’s website they say that new car models need to have 4G/5G only by 2026. And starting 2027 all cars sold must have it. 2027 is also when they expect 2G to be fully shut down in the country. This timeline makes no sense for devices with a long life span.
In the website they also say you wouldn’t fail inspection though. But honestly I don’t care too much about that, since I actually care about ecall and some other connected services.
Mmh only two Ethernet ports? I guess it’s for people who use mostly wifi only?
