According to the company, CMG Local Solutions’ access to advertising data based on voice and other data is collected by third-party platforms and devices “under the terms and conditions provided by those apps and accepted by their users.”

In the since-deleted blog post, CMG Local Solutions discusses whether Active Listening is legal. “We know what you’re thinking. Is this even legal? The short answer is: yes.

Krafton did say they wanted a Hi-Fi Rush 2, as far as I know.

Say about them what you will, but good on them for stepping in and preventing Microsoft from shutting the studio down.

I stopped watching them after Frost’s video. Which is a shame, I did like Yahtzee and didn’t mind Design Delve.

I believe some sort of leader of their country happened to visit another, but that’s just a hunch

Where have you heard about that?

I can think of a counter example in how Netflix is boasting about the revenue of its cheaper ad tier.

The Mitsubishi Colt is now a rebadged Renault Clio

Angela Collier just released a video about how billionaires really want to be seen as physicists, whilst most of them dropped out of college. “I could’ve become”, “I considered to” and so on.

They really want to be perceived as smart. I don’t get any brownie points for saying “I thought about getting a PhD”, why should they?
