Laptopmag: BitDefender Total Security 2009 review

Laptopmag:

"While BitDefender Total Security 2009 tries hard to be a comprehensive security solution, and offers some unique and useful features such as instant messaging encryption and a power-saving laptop mode, its usability and performance weigh it down, especially relative to the great strides in these areas made by its competitors. The cost for the top-end Total Security version is on the high side at $79.95 for three computers; we expect that the $49.95 Internet Security 2009 version, which omits online backup, registry cleaning, and some other tuneup features, will be the more popular choice."

It turns out Nintendo Switch 2's Piranha Plant webcam comes with a shockingly low resolution

The Piranha Plant camera for Nintendo Switch 2 looks great, but its resolution is limited to 480p, compared to the official webcam's 1080p.

Even better... the lower the res, the less bandwidth it will use to transmit video while playing. Besides, i dont think anyone will be buying it to actually use... I'm getting it just for the aesthetic. Maybe another company (or Hori themselves) can offer a Lakitu holding the video camera while riding a cloud like he does in the game. That would be another cool one to have.

🤦🏻 what we shouldn’t be hearing..
So you prefer it because it’s low resolution? Just wow!
If for the look you can get piranha night lamp 10 times cheaper

goken11d ago

My thoughts exactly… that take… just wow

GamerRN10d ago

Yeah an easier solution to low bandwidth would be to use a 4k camera, and allow you to choose to broadcast in lower res for bandwidth preservation.... Not force poor quality

Tacoboto11d ago

Question tho - what about the matching Printer? Bring back Gameboy Camera + Printer and reboot Mario Paint with it all too

ZycoFox11d ago

It should be cheaper because of the lower resolution, now if it could switch between 480p and 720p it would be good enough.

The sites I've seen selling it don't even state a resolution in the description.

FIELDMARSHALL_P11d ago

Your comment is wild they could've done a better camera than that. The only thing I agree with is the idea about Lakitu.

sinspirit11d ago

Actually, if you're overlaying yourself on top of your game stream you've not changed anything bandwidth wise.

Profchaos10d ago

This is a hori product which I've always felt the build quality was a bit iffy on their gamepads so to see them passive off a low resolution camera is unsurprising

really?

its funny tho, the camera is 34 moneys woth 480p resolution only, i found one for 11 with 1080p resolution haha wat a rip off ha

Dude, I was SO ready to give Nintendo my money for the Switch 2, I've been wanting to buy a portable for a while and didn't pull the plug because I was waiting for the Switch 2.

Now I just want Nintendo to fail, I sincerely hope they do, because this is just absurd at this time, this is worse than PS3 era Sony at this point.

Cacabunga11d ago

Actually the multiple fails since reveal event just made me start playing switch again because i know i won’t be getting this thing anytime soon. The more i hear of it the less i want it..

neutralgamer199210d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Exactly this is sony level obnoxious behavior from Nintendo. So much of switch 2's reveal is anti consumer. Like Zelda remastered not including expansions. I really hope switch 2 struggles so Nintendo have to change their policies. Early struggles will give Nintendo a much needed wake up call

But let's be honest it's Nintendo system will do well. They have dabs who will defend them no matter what

MeteorPanda10d ago

Ps3 era made sense, it was the cheapest bluray player at the time

Knushwood Butt12d ago

You can get a $20 expansion pass that upgrades the resolution to 720I.

LMAO thanks man i needed that lol... you made me break into a full blown laugh where i am literally sitting here crying.. its 7am here in the uk and now my wife has woken up hearing me laugh my ass off.. asking whats to funny.. now she can make me some breakfast.. haa
On a serious note.. man Nintendo take the biscuit and have the cheek to also ask for some nutella..
Like you can literally by 4k webcams for £50 which auto follow you and have remotes etc

I have my switch 2 pre ordered as i love all things Nintendo but i wont be bothering with the cam etc
I suspect they will allow third party cams to work as the wording used around usb c cameras seems like it will be allowed.. but time will tell. Thanks for the laugh i needed it.. had a looong week at work.

i have the Nyxi Wizard GC style joycons and was very impressed. It made playing metroid prime remaster feel even better than i remember.

By the age of 10, the only consoles I have played were NES, SNES and Genesis. Genesis was my favourite out of the bunch but I can safely say that my favourite consoles has been the PS3.
