From what I've seen, it's a great way to rapidly accumulate tech debt for a bunch of projects that didn't really need to be made in the first place.

Xbox has been my primary platform for most of my life. Parents didn't like video games so I didn't play much until I was an adult and secondhand stuff was really cheap and accessible.

After switching to Stadia, which was phenomenal for a casual-new-dad gamer and I loved it, before it was unsurprisingly killed, coming back was entirely different. Everything was digital, there is no secondhand market for games, and consoles are increasingly expensive.

Making Xbox less accessible and more restrictive may have pushed me to a windows PC a few years ago... But making Windows 11 such a shit show made me switch everything to Linux.

I'd love to stay but they seem determined to suck everything that was great out of it.

Shredders is one of the best snowboard games I've played. I feel like it captures the feeling of snowboarding really well.

Pretty sure many of the cars sold now have a SIM card or something similar which the manufacturer pays for up front. I don't think it takes much for them to ping periodically with the information they'd like to track and this ensures they get the data.

Still, don't connect your car to the Internet, as that could give them way more data but I doubt that that doing that alone will completely stop the tracking.
