A Tech Affair episode 196: WhatsApp terms and conditions, Disney Plus account sharing, "Manhunt", "Turbo Kid"
WhatsApp is changing its terms and conditions. What's behind this? Will account sharing on Disney Plus soon be a thing of the past? In "Manhunt" we pursue the murderer of Abe Lincoln and in "Turbo Kid" we face the post-apocalypse on a BMX.
Meta is adapting the WhatsApp terms and conditions. There are four major changes - which also apply to Switzerland. Disney Plus wants to finally get into the black and is putting a stop to account sharing.
"Manhunt" is the name of the new Apple TV Plus series that revolves around the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The series follows both the murderer of the US president and his pursuer. It also looks at the political tensions in the country that characterised the end of the Civil War. "Real Swiss" is only indirectly about war. The documentary portrays three Swiss officers with a migration background. They talk about their role in the military and how integrated, or not, they feel.
We played "Turbo Kid". A 2D Metroidvania inspired by the film of the same name. In a post-apocalyptic world, you explore the world on a BMX and shoot bandits into pixel slush with your laser glove. There is also shooting in "Buckshot Roulette", but it is more targeted. It's a kind of Russian roulette, but with a shotgun and various tools.

Being the game and gadget geek that I am, working at digitec and Galaxus makes me feel like a kid in a candy shop – but it does take its toll on my wallet. I enjoy tinkering with my PC in Tim Taylor fashion and talking about games on my podcast http://www.onemorelevel.ch. To satisfy my need for speed, I get on my full suspension mountain bike and set out to find some nice trails. My thirst for culture is quenched by deep conversations over a couple of cold ones at the mostly frustrating games of FC Winterthur.
