I can relate. Mine basically just became a Destiny 2 box. And that’s only because that’s where I first bought and downloaded the game. I could play that game on a number of platforms.

To be fair, it would’ve helped if they had compelling games worth playing. There was a brief minute when X / S users were feasting, but a lot of the studios MS bought turned into dud factories.

I’ll bet they do this like a phone plan. Bundle the console with GamePass, and give folks a 3 year contract that is broken into a combined monthly payment for the cloud service and a hardware payment plan.

They ain’t lurking. They’re not even logging in.

The data is in there. You just need an OSM client that exposes it. DeFlock, mapcomplete, Mapquest, etc.

And now Mapquest is just adding UI that supports OSM data. A good portion of their roadmap is just vibe coding UI for OSM features that already exist.

This is dope, BUT Mapquest is just a wrapper for OpenStreetMaps, and this is data that you get for free with OSM.

Also, after install, Mapquest immediately asks to start tracking your behavior for targeted marketing shit.

Mapquest probably doesn’t actually give a shit privacy or fighting authoritarians. They just want a cheap and free data set, and the cheapest thing available automatically has LPR data and doesn’t rename bodies of water to “America.”

Might be rolling out. It see it on iOS.

They’re using OpenStreetMaps, and OSM has a DB of all the major LPRs. The filter just pulls in all the surveillance cameras in OSM, and if you click on the camera you see the meta data about the reported camera type.

The ones reported to OpenStreetMap.

Mapquest is basically a wrapper for OpenStreetMaps, so they kind of get this for free.

Also, all of the major flock reporting tools are built on OSM. So basically, if you use Mapquest, you will get data from DeFlock users.

As a non windows user, can someone explain to be what all the fuss is about? It sounds like people are grumpy that they’re being shown a feature that they can’t use or don’t want to use, and MS is going to let people hide the UI for that.

What is wrong with this solution? Are people not going to be happy until every spec of the feature’s code is stripped from the OS?
