  • 219: Disc-free XBox easing us into streaming??
    We're months away from a disc-free XBox experience. At this point it makes sense, considering the fact that many games are pure digital downloads. With the introduction of Google Stadia, Google's game streaming platform, will streaming be the next move of this Xbox and future consoles? ||

  • 215: "Political Correctness" killing online communities??
    It's 2019 and being politically correct in a diverse world is hard. You can't like, post or suggest something online without the fear of getting reported, blocked or ostracized from a community. Everyone is so stuck in their stupid bubbles that anything they see that's different is harmful and offensive -- it's stupid. And while on a personal scale it's ok to have your own opinions; however, when large companies such as YouTube shut down comment sections (better known informally as communities) for channels, things can get shaky.

  • 214: 2019 iPad to still use TouchID?
    Costs matter, but why won't Apple switch all devices to the new hotness. I argue whether FaceID is truly better than TouchID. ||

  • 213: Facebook focusing on privacy?
    Don't believe it until you see it. Mark Zuckerberg wants Facebook to increase it's stance on privacy; however, what reason do we have to believe them? They've have breach after breach and scandal after scandal -- I suggest you don't trust them until you see the fruits of their labor. ||

  • 212: NSA Data Collection to stop? Don't believe it.
    The USA Freedom Act, which allows the lovely men and women of the NSA to harvest Americans call data, will be expiring at the end of 2019. Does this mean there are no alternatives although the NSA claims they haven't utilized the system in 6 months -- I wouldn't believe it.

  • 211: Can't opt out of Facebook phone number lookup??
    Two factor authentication, which is used to secure accounts, is straight up getting abused by Facebook in a case where they have your number, they are utilizing it for lookup in a way that reminds you of the White Pages of old -- this has to stop.
