First impression is wow that's expensive. The remote seems better though, which was one of my main complaints. Also, no use having a CPU "as powerful as an Xbox One" when all the games are graphically about the same as the first gen Xbox or PS2, and all but a few are nowhere near as immersive.

“Most” might be a stretch. Even those old machines could run battlefield. It’s interesting that modern warfare runs on an iphone 5S (not a typo) but isn’t built for any apple tv models.

It’s unlikely to make much difference (to advertisers) - as the advertising revenue will continue unaffected. The recipients however might change. No doubt, all the players will adjust to take advantage of any change of rules. The lazy may find this adjustment difficult.

That’s been my thought. My feeling is that Facebook is terrified that advertisers will discover that targeted ads aren't as effective or valuable as Zuch has promoted. 

That’s not why he cares. Solid guess though. That’s definitely what has assumed as to why they force you to use their measurement software rather than independent measurement vendors. But the reason they do that is more likely to prevent a DMP from collecting the entirety of the facebook audience data effectively for free, meaning there would be no differentiator between facebook and some Goliath like Oracle or Adobe who don’t own a major publisher network. What Facebook doesn’t want is to lose ground to their competitors, who they would probably view as Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon. 

Btw, notice in that last post i said it will stifle, not eliminate collection of data. Personal data has been handed out for free ever since cookies were introduced at the dawn of the interactive internet. Now, tracking identifiers will have to be explicitly collected via IDFA requests or logins that collect your email address, hash it to md5 and ship that psuedo-anonymized id, which btw is actually less private than an idfa, to supply side platforms (SSPs) and DMPs and use those to track you instead. The main difference obviously is they have to ask for it. 

So far I haven’t really had a need to pull my wallet off because my wireless charger didnt fit the pro max so i dont use it. If you put a card with stamped numbers facing the thumb hole, getting cards out is easy
