Nintendo Says It Has A Plan To Prevent Scalping: Just Make Loads Of Switch 2s
A few years on, it’s oddly hard to remember how difficult it was to get hold of the most recent generation of games consoles. On their release in November 2020, both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X were incredibly scarce, thanks to an imperfect storm of covid, global chip shortages, and supply chain issues. At the same time, the three-year-old Switch was also having supply issues, and consoles that were available were quickly snatched up by scalpers. But Nintendo reckons it’s in a position t

Your car is your worst asset for privacy. Here's why.
Two out of every three cars sold feature embedded connectivity, according to Counterpoint Research. Mozilla *Privacy Not Included lead Jen Caltrider joins Wealth! to discuss the state of privacy in modern cars. "Every car that people buy these days is bad for privacy. There are no good options for new cars for privacy," Caltrider explains. She points to Tesla (TSLA), Nissan, and Kia's privacy policies as particularly striking, as they seek to collect very personal data. "When you think about privacy, we're going to have to give up data in our connected world. It's just how it works. And what you want to see is a product that only collects the data it needs to give you the service. So for a car, you want it to collect only the data it needs to get you from point A to point B safely and then use it only for that," she says. However, most cars today collect much more data to sell to advertisers, data brokers, and insurance companies. Modern cars are equipped with microphones, cameras, and sensors that all collect information to make inferences about users. Caltrider adds that while this technology is way ahead, the privacy solutions "are way behind." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Wealth!

Malaysia's Najib loses legal bid to serve sentence under house arrest
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -A Malaysian court dismissed jailed former Prime Minister Najib Razak's legal bid to obtain a document that he said would allow him to serve his remaining prison sentence under house arrest. In a judicial review application filed on April 1, Najib said an "addendum order" issued by the former king had accompanied a pardons board's decision in February to halve his 12-year jail sentence for graft in the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal. Najib had sought for the court to compel the government to reply to or confirm the existence of the royal order, which he said would entitle him to serve the remainder of his term under house arrest, and to execute the order if it existed.
