  The original large gameboys had a lock that utilized the slot via the power switch. The pocket removed the lock therefore allowing the non slotted Color games to be used in a pocket gameboy.

  I own quite a lot of mp3s legally. Host them on a 50 dollar raspberry pi with something called Navidrome which uses a protocol called subsonic.

  I can stream my own music from my home to my phone etc or anywhere. Otherwise yeah just having them locally is the other best option.

  As a programmer: “your data is boring. I am not interested in leveraging this for anything besides getting the service you are using to work as well as possible”

  Also me as a programmer: “yo, you don’t need that data, stop asking for it. Ohh, your app is broken because it can’t access permissions? Yeet.”

  It’s not about the programmers. It’s about the company and the ability to make money off of data they get from you. You should be the one who gets money for your data. Not Microsoft, not Google etc.

  Is Microsoft making money off of this particular telemetry data? Maybe not. It should always be opt-in

  This just simply isn’t accurate. There are often extra features that require an internet connection. And there are also some blu-ray movies that might require some form of internet connection to watch but the vast majority of consumer blu ray movies require no internet connection to watch them.
