Some TVs have tech called ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) that literally reads pixels on the screen for identifying information about what content is being displayed. If your TV has ACR enabled, it’s possible it’s tracking what you watch, even if you’re viewing it through a device like Chromecast.

If your TV doesn’t have ACR or the TV itself isn’t connected to the Internet, then you’re probably fine.

Scraped my car tire rim on a curb the other day and mashing Ctrl + Z in my brain for minutes afterwards :(

It can be a lot of things, none which make sense to normal people. My guess is it’s mostly a power thing. This guy felt big and strong and intimidating for a moment of his life and he wanted to bask in it.

Because he knows, just like the rest of us do now, that he’s really just a sad, scared piece of shit that would piss his own pants and cry like a baby the minute someone his own size decided to pick on him.

In fact, I bet his pants are filling up with piss knowing that he’s a national news story and people want him dead for his behavior. I just hope he doesn’t have another victim to take his frustration and fear out on. Unless he wants to make that victim himself.

Lately it seems like many Taylor Swift fans would slit someone’s throat for the opportunity to look at a pan that she might have touched one time

Twitter is a software, he’s been saying stupid stuff about how it works for the last year+

Solely? No. But if the airbag, seatbelt, or self-driving autopilot feature that they created contributed to someone’s death, they are partially responsible and should face consequences or punishments. Especially if they market it as a safe feature.

Both can be nuts

Steve Jobs is the exception. I’m just trying to answer the original question about why this happens so often. I’m not trying to argue about the best way to run a company. But if you’re equating every founder with Steve Jobs then we’re having a completely different conversation.

Apple is now the most valuable company on earth, so I think you’re not making the point you think you’re making. Publicly traded companies act only based on what increases the value of their shares the most. If the current CEO isn’t seen as the most profitable CEO for the shareholders, they will eventually be replaced, even if they founded the company. That is a risk you knowingly take when taking your company public. Most founders choose the money that comes with an IPO, knowing they’ll eventually get the boot.

Because it requires a completely different skill set to run a startup with only yourself and 50 employees to worry about vs a multi-billion dollar, publicly traded company. People that are good at one of those often aren’t good at the other, so when their company changes from the former to the latter, they get the boot for someone better at running the new version of the company.

Wikipedia as an organization does this?? News to me so I’d love a source on that. I would not be surprised if people that work at Wikipedia donate to charitable causes or speak out about social issues, but that’s a very different thing called free speech

The first one that Google literally highlights, if you click it, it says that verbal contracts are binding but purchases of goods over $500 is an exception.

If you’re not talking about the first search result, maybe link to an actual source instead of the search results.

Cobain is risky, odds are he just peaces out again 😞

By making the free version worse, aka making the paid version more valuable

1. Pay $0 to use a product from a business that is losing money
2. Business makes a policy change to try to convince you their product is worth paying for, but still let’s you use a version of it for FREE
3. Wow this company sucks, I’ve given them nothing and they’re taking everything away

In a capitalist society you speak with your money. It’s the only language businesses speak. If you’re not giving a company any money they’re not going to cater their product to you, plain and simple.

That’s the difference, Android users have a choice in what phone they buy. Apple users get the new iPhone or the old iPhone, so when bad decisions are made it sucks worse.

These are people that literally never grew up.

It’s the 8 year old mentality of ‘math is hard and confusing, I would rather spend the day living in my imaginary world’

What we are seeing now is the temper tantrum that happens when someone challenges them to leave their comfort zone.
