This question was inspired by my hatred of Temporal Anti-Aliasing which, in many games nowadays, is poorly used as a performance bandaid. On lower resolutions it will smudge and blur the image and certain bad cases of TAA will cause visible ghosting.

Yet in spite of all this, certain games won’t let you turn it off or have hair/fur/foliage look like dogshit without it so sometimes I still use it.

    Google is rolling out their own find device network soon™ with third party trackers that are rechargeable. They’re pushing it through play services too so every android phone in the world will be in the network too, so it’s a much more global network if you are traveling off the beaten path.

      Some people especially with older devices might not like the constant telemetry in the background…

        You have full control of the level of opt in. You can go always listening, only in high traffic areas, or completely opt out of the network. But if you want to use the network, you have to contribute to it.

          I’m sure, and it’s great for the usability of the products, I’m just always wary about updates changing settings in the background and not necessarily informing the user. Google is pulling this same thing with their ‘ad personalization’ tracking nonsense. Most users won’t know how to or won’t bother to opt out of something that was automatically turned on in the background, even if they would prefer it to be off if they had been asked.

        That’s an extremely small minority, and you can turn it off if you want.
