Unrelated to the article itself but I initially clicked on mobile and was presented with this clearly GDPR-violating prompt:

Tracking consent prompt with only an “Accept all” button

Where’s the button to reject tracking? It doesn’t exist.

For reference this is the correct prompt on admiral’s own website:

Tracking consent prompt with a “Reject all” button next to “Accept all”

First time I see GDPR violation this brazen. While writing this comment I finally figured out how to reject consent (clicking on “Purposes” and manually deselecting each purpose).

I double checked with remote debugging, the button is not just hidden in CSS; it’s missing entirely:

HTML source showing no reject all button

For some reason I don’t get a consent prompt at all from my desktop even on a brand new firefox profile – perhaps because of my user-agent?

Anyways I felt motivated today so I’ve sent an email to their Data Protection Officer and set a reminder for next month in case they ghost me.

Good find, I had assumed people around here would at least have uBlock Origin with at least one Annoyances filter on (or similar), this is possible via Firefox mobile as well. I didn’t get the prompt as well on desktop, probably because of the Annoyances filter that blocks the consent prompts anyway.

Here’s an archived link, not sure if that helps: archive.is/qHSPD

I have uBlock Origin but didn’t bother configuring any additional filters. My desktop has consent-o-matic as well I think (which unlike a filter actually auto-rejects the tracking stuff).

However on a new profile (no extensions) I didn’t get the prompt, and neither did I on chromium. Just checked on windows as well, still not prompt. So it seems to just not prompt on desktop for some reason… I wonder if that means the tracking is disabled or they just auto-consent.

Wait until you see the ones that let you choose between “Accept All” and “Subscribe to monthly plan 4.99/mo”

I saw a website like that the other week and it was based in an EU country.

Those ones are still under litigation AFAIK. Last I heard about it they lost their latest court case but it will be years before it reaches the top EU courts or an amendment is made to the GDPR.

Trueeee, I spent whole Saturday watching that thing. It was so thrilling. I am happy, that I am not the only one, amazed by this “e-sport” :D

How come? It’s easily what I spend half my time doing on the handhelds.

Some people are just wildly anti streaming gaming, maybe they’ve got internet that isn’t fit for it or maybe they’re extremely sensitive to fidelity, but they exist. Personally, I use game pass streaming on my steam deck quite a bit and it’s a good experience.

I live in Korea, so streaming from my home PC to anywhere in the country is pretty much flawless. I absolutely love using my handheld for that

I’m in the UK so it depends on where you are. Where I live on top of London though it’s fine.
