That is correct. Red Shell also specifies to devs you should configure it to report some of those and not all should be reported. It provides guidelines for how many to report based on how many unique users you have/are expecting. All

No, the point is to collect enough info to link a user who launched the game to someone who clicked an ad. The problem Red Shell is trying to solve is the "download divide" -- You can track clicks/users on the web before they

I saw people on the Reddit thread saying the Ubuntu requirement was a showstopper for a lot of them. You might look into the Win 10 linux support, Ubuntu is one o the supported distros. Not sure if it would have full access to resources, ha

Likely more than 35 games on a single instance, as ideally you wouldn't be starting all games at the same time on the same instance. Staggering the start of games on each instance would be ideal. For example you could have dozens of la

I think the bigger deterrence is to get in the front door they already have your name, address, and card on file. That said, several articles have mentioned Amazon intentionally is NOT using facial recognition as part of the tech.

When I installed the app it mentions you can let others buy stuff from your account with a single phone on entry(kids, friend, etc). There is an animation that shows you tap your phone in, send your friend in, then re-tap yourself in. Didn&

Does this mean sending a copy to literally every bank? Dozens of major ones? Or just banks which your parents have a relationship with? Is there a central authority for this sort of thing?

FYI the latest Equifax press release (where it was announced 2 executives were being dismissed) had a small bulletpoint towards the end which said that pins would be randomly generated. Don't know if that change is live, however.
