Camera sensors have a base sensitivity that will capture an image without additional voltage applied to it. Adding voltage allows the sensor to capture more information, at the cost of additional noise. The lower ISO values are also not u

There are games that are focused on being profit-driven to a fault. Pretty much anything from Activision, and most of the stuff produced by EA. But there's plenty of games that match what you describe. Sony has published a solid lineup

My biggest question would be how many security vulnerabilities Google uncovered and disclosed on their own platform. If they are being good and helping other companies - great! But if they're also profiting by FUD'ing them - then
