📢 Announcements Announcements 2025-07-03 We're phasing out the Louis Rossmann video directory in favour of a more general Article suggestions page, created by the eminent JamesTDG! This will allow anyone to contribute their (hopefully sourced!) ideas to the Wiki without needing to create a full article, and will provide an excellent repository of ideas for editors in need of inspiration. 2025-06-10 We're opening up applications for moderators! Please see here for full instructions on how to apply. In short, we're looking for motivated individuals who are willing to patrol the Wiki, make sure that articles are up to scratch, and take actions to protect the wiki from spam or malicious content whenever appropriate. 2025-01-30 We made it easier for you to create a new article! Simply click on Create a page in the sidebar on the left, fill in the title for your page and click on "Create page". 🆕 New Pages 21 March 2026 02:1802:18, 21 March 2026 Systemd Adds Age Indication Ahead of Schedule (hist | edit) [4,756 bytes] Charlie 6 (talk | contribs) (Systemd added age bracket ahead of schedule, the merge was quickly done while the revert attempt was blocked, with possible influence from Microsoft) 20 March 2026 19:2619:26, 20 March 2026 Superhive (hist | edit) [3,320 bytes] PiratePenguin (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{CompanyCargo |Founded=2014 |Industry=Digital storefront |Logo=Superhive-logo.png |ParentCompany=Autotroph |Type=LLC |Website=https://superhivemarket.com/ |Description=Superhive (formerly Blender Market) is a digital storefront focused on assets and extensions for the open-source 3D computer graphics software Blender }} {{Ph-C-Int}} ==Consumer-impact summary== {{Ph-C-CIS}} ==Incidents== {{Ph-C-Inc}} This is a list of all consumer-protection incidents this company is...") 15:5115:51, 20 March 2026 Pokémon GO utilizes player's data to train AI (hist | edit) [502 bytes] ClippyWantsToHelp (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{IncidentCargo |Company=Nintendo, Game Freak, Niantic, Creatures Inc |StartDate=2026-03-16 |Status=Active |ArticleType=Product |Type=Artificial Intelligence, Anti-consumer Behavior |Description=Pokémon GO utilizes 30 billion images taken from players to create a photo-map and train AI }} {{Ph-I-Int}} ==Background== {{Ph-I-B}} ==[Incident]== {{Ph-I-I}} ===[Company]'s response=== {{Ph-I-ComR}} ==Lawsuit== {{Ph-I-L}} ==Consumer response== {{Ph-I-ConR...") 05:3205:32, 20 March 2026 Dairy Queen (hist | edit) [745 bytes] SquidthePlummer (talk | contribs) (never heard of this untill now) 19 March 2026 18:1018:10, 19 March 2026 Unity (hist | edit) [1,942 bytes] SinexTitan (talk | contribs) (the company that causes division amongst its userbase) Tag: Visual edit 05:1605:16, 19 March 2026 Sangi Co Ltd (hist | edit) [2,449 bytes] Another user (talk | contribs) (Create company page for Sangi) 02:2802:28, 19 March 2026 Cisco Removing access to critical downloads for products that are end-of-support (hist | edit) [5,738 bytes] Dperrigo (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{IncidentCargo |Company=Cisco Systems, Inc. |Status=Active |ProductLine=ASA Next-Generation Firewall Services, Centri Firewall, Compatible IntraGuard Firewall Series, ISA500 Integrated Security Appliances, PIX 500 Series Security Appliances, PIX Device Manager, PIX Firewall Software, SA500 Security Appliances, Secure Firewall Cloud Native, Sourcefire Defense Center, Sourcefire Virtual Defense Center, Access Control and Policy, Administrative Policy Engine, Authenticatio...") 02:2202:22, 19 March 2026 Dynamic pricing (hist | edit) [489 bytes] ClippyWantsToHelp (talk | contribs) (Created page with "{{Stub}} '''Dynamic pricing''', also known as '''surge pricing''', '''surveillance pricing''', '''demand pricing''', '''time-based''' pricing and '''variable pricing''' is a pricing strategy that consist of modifying the price of a product or service according to market demands. ==How it works== {{Ph-T-HIW}} ==Why it is a problem== ===Price discrimination=== ===Privacy concerns in digital marketing=== ==Examples== {{Ph-T-E}} ==References== {{reflist}} Category:...")
