    jdubya421 got a reaction from Master Disaster in Anecdote - I'm pretty sure my phone is listening to my conversations all the time   
    I am fairly sure Instagram does - as well as monitor internet traffic for other devices on the network. There are times where my girlfriend and I will talk about something and she will Google it and then I will get ads. There are times where her and I have tried to talk about something a lot to see if we get ads and sure enough we do. One of those in particular was "ASUS graphics cards". There was another time we drove past these Roxor side by sides and all I said was "oh look those are those side by sides that look like Jeeps" (cause I drive a Jeep). That night got ads for them. I didn't even know they were called "Roxors" at the time and only knew cause I got ads for them. 
     
    I have also found that disabling IG's permission to my mic stops all this.

    You mean the same teens that were going to text and drive anyway right? At least the tech gives them a chance at avoiding an accident versus the alternative which is just them plowing into shit. Like it or not this tech can save lives. Do you really want to have it removed and have the people it could have saved be dead all in the name of developing "bad behaviors" that they were going to develop regardless?
     
    This is like saying condoms are bad because they enable the "bad behavior" of sex for teens and they should be removed. Teens are still going to have sex regardless of the potential consequences, might as well give them the opportunity to be safe when they do...

    Comparing video games to drugs is absolutely quickly-conclusive. drugs are addictive because they produce a euphoric effect and most will end with crappy feelings and the urge to feel the same euphoria again. people become addicted to video games because of way more reasons, all unrelated to euphoria and comedowns

    You haven't been able to do that for a while now if I recall. Ever since Google cracked down on photo stealing you have had to right click "open in new window".

    Hard disagree here. The Nexus 7 (both versions) were awesome and I really liked them. Got the second revision off craigslist for like 150$ and I enjoyed every bit of it.

    This looks neat.

    I will buy this. Don't have a switch yet, and was looking for a cheaper option. There were never any pricedrops or good deals to be found.
     
    I would have used the switch exclusively handheld most likely anyway, so this is perfect for me.

    All of your replies in this thread are ineffective non-arguments. You're complaining about something that isn't for you by saying "bad design".

    Are you? 
     
    People asked for a more portable device? Check.
    People asked for non-detachable joycons? Check. 
    People want a less expensive Switch? Check. 
     
    It looks like capitalism at work to me.

    Just like "I dont like it because it isn't build the way I want" is not a valid form of objective criticism. You can scream and kick about how its bad all day but you've provided nothing more than "BUT I DONT LIKE IT ?" as any kind of argument.
     
    You're entitled to your subjective opinion obviously but don't be shocked when people ask you to back it up with some kind of objective reasoning beyond "it suck, LMFAO"
     
    You could easily say this product doesn't align with my personal sense of value while still objectively understanding how it may appeal to a large portion of the demographic and having a basic understanding of what the objects limitations in performance/quality are and why they may exist.
     
    I think it is hard to objectively say the Nintendo switch is bad console, where as, using your own reference we could easily objectively point out why the VITA was a failure. Show me a better mobile device for playing games and maybe theres a conversation to be had.
     
    or you know SWITCH BAD, ME ANGER, POST COMMENT, STOP LIKE THING I DONT LIKE! ?

    Just built a system with the 3400G for my mom. This is the perfect usecase of an iGPU: someone who doesn't intend to play anything newer than Sims 2 and wants to watch/stream 1080p/4k content without worrying about their computer ever being slow. All for the sweet price of $150
