They do collect that on an opt in basis with the promise of additional discounts if you’re a good driver. Some give you a device you plug into your OBDII port, others get the telemetry directly from your car. I drive a Hyundai and I have the option of toggling on sharing anonymized driving data as well as a toggle to share your actual data with insurance companies for special offers.

Nintendo, Valve, and anyone else really has no excuse not to make the battery user accessible. The devices aren’t water resistant and never will be since they need active cooling. A back cover with sliding locks like a laptop that gives access to the battery as well as the fan would be a great addition to future devices. Easy to replace the battery, easy to clean or replace the fan. It would ease a lot of my own anxiety about the longevity of these devices.

hopefully we’re nearing the end of the recycled and rebooted era. There aren’t that many movies coming out lately that I’ve been super excited about, but funny enough it’s the animated movies that have been the ones I’ve enjoyed the most. They’re getting pretty creative with art styles and taking a few more risks compared to live action options.

Apart from Spiderverse 1 and 2, we’ve also seen great animated movies like Mitchells vs the Machines, Nimona, Puss in Boots the last wish, wolf walkers, and the Mario movie was more fun than most live action films I’ve seen lately. I liked Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3, but other than that I can’t say I’ve been really excited or interested in any other live action movie in a while.

Disney the Hutt is ready and waiting.

A windows laptop no, an Apple silicon MacBook, yes.

Honestly I’d call their fanless or mostly fanless design one of their biggest selling points.

Apple put them on the sides (cut into the edge it’s as much on the bottom as it is on the side) as well in the center below the screen on 14“ and 16” MacBook Pro models. Works great, even though the fan doesn’t run 95% of the time anyway, there’s at least multiple spots where fresh air can get in even if one or two vents are blocked.

I don't think the specs are that outrageous, even for the recommended specs. your machine would need to be pushing nearly 10 years old with a budget build for it to really be a huge issue with the min specs.
