  • The bill as it is written doesn’t appear to be a problem. But the implementation needs to be monitored by those affected. A small company can grab a cheap dash cam from Amazon that has all sorts of capabilities that extend past what is currently allowed. And those features have a cost that is usually offset by selling data somehow. I found one model that didn’t have a mic as a feature, but it was available if a firmware patch was applied.






  • I think what’s happened here is, you are playing the games as shooters, room quake and unreal were not story driven games. It was either get the coloured key to progress, or kill everything between point a and b. All the newer games you listed have great story that drives the gameplay. And halo being the first real controller multiplayer experience brings a lot of nostalgia to people.

    However it’s the same reason that I haven’t gotten on the ‘boomer shooter’ trend. They are essentially doing what you bring up. No added function or feature, they just feel like a reskin or mod of quake.

    I bought mine straight from Bambu. Could smell burning electronics after 50p hours of use or so. Then it wouldn’t turn on. No interaction whatsoever. Contacted support, had to dismantle and send a few pics. A quick video of me plugging it in and the results. Then they shipped me a new power board. Installed it and carried on. It was very obvious what part had failed. I was frustrated at first but all told, it was a pretty good experience.

    I live in northern BC. They have advertisements for heat pumps on our local radio. When I was looking to upgrade our home furnace and install an air conditioner, I investigated the heat pump as an option.

    The research I did found that I would need a secondary unit (gas furnace) for when the temperature went below -20°C when the efficiency would drop. And after -25°C it would not be able to keep up to heating the house.

    As much as I would have liked to use one unit to heat and cool my home, the tech wasn’t there to get my family through the winter. We have weeks of -30 during the day and it is consistently -20 over night for 5 months a year.

    Fingers crossed when the time comes to replace my furnace and AC units something else has been figured out.
