It’s part of a larger trend where technology isn’t serving the interests of the people who use it.

I get that this is the point of the article, but wow seeing an ad in your car makes it look cheap as fuck.

There’s a chance I might tolerate it on a rental, but not on something I own. Absolutely not.

God I hope not. I’d be ruined. And I have insurance!

Definitely do not buy Shark products. They used to be good, but maintaining any of their stuff now feels like it was intentionally designed to rip you off.

I have their old vacuum cleaner that I’ve repaired five times and I’m never getting rid of it.

Less guesswork. Of course it’s not going to be complete. But it’s nice.

I’m not sure there would be an advantage. The signals are very different. That might be approximately equal to building a new one.

Not just old people. I had a heart monitor a couple years ago that’s only made for 2G.

Alright maybe I’m getting old but that’s not the point.

When I was visiting the Caribbean they also had a lot of 2G infrastructure still operating.

Well, I’m kind of stuck with it at this point. I appealed it and they never answered. Not much I can do. Oh well.

That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.

They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.

Be careful with that. I went back in time and edited my posts to contain small errors to make them useless wastes of time for the reader and poison AI.

Reducing UK security is probably not a good idea at the best of times, let alone these days with global tensions increasing.

I use it in a browser tab because I refuse to have them snoop around on my running processes.

If you enjoy this exercise, consider ham radio. People contest purely to collect contacts from different places.

I went there once. I can’t go back because the cab driver said next time I visit, he wants to meet my kids. But I don’t have any kids.

I was in the area but only for four hours. That was nowhere near enough time to do that museum. It was huge.

I wonder if this is the museum in Ohio.

It looks like it’s only a matter of time before there will be 0 browsers capable of blocking ads[.]

I don’t know if I’d take it that far. Firefox and the Chrome engine are open source projects. Anyone can modify the browser to enable ad-blocking in some form if a user is sufficiently determined. Now, will it be possible to write and distribute a popular an effective adblocker under these conditions? It appears to be getting harder.

I for one welcome our new Canadian overlords. It would be a marked improvement over what we have today.

It’s apparently very important to the UK that the USA has easy access to spy on their citizens.

Backdoors: making insecure software on purpose.
