They were bought out

I didn’t realize people still used AdBlock Plus, or that it even still existed.

People still use AdBlock Plus? I thought that was long since dead. You know, since they sold out and let companies pay them to show ads.

Other than Good Omens, and Grand Tour I guess, what’s even on Prime Video that’s not elsewhere?

You’re assuming they care about the content of the ads. If they’re getting paid, they run the ad, that’s it.

This doesn’t work for most streaming services. The ads and the actual video come from the same server. I know this is the case on Hulu (probably YouTube, too).

Isn’t every email address disposable?

Obviously, ProtonMail shouldn’t be on here, but is this a list anyone even uses?

I honestly forgot Threads even existed.

A switch?

I just upgraded to a WiFi 6E router. Both my phone and my laptop support 6E.

Speeds are great, until you leave the living room (where the router is). Go up to my bedroom, and 6E won’t even connect. So it’s fast, but 6Hz has trouble going through walls.

Most of the other devices in the house are on 5GHz and that’s still super fast and able to reach basically everywhere.

That seems right up my alley, I’ll subscribe to that.

I didn’t know Spotify changed this. I opened up the app, and sure enough it popped up with “the heart is now a plus.”

Yeah, I don’t like it. Just a random plus sign on the “now playing” screen isn’t obvious what it does. Yes, the app told me, but that only appears once.

I wonder if we can complain and get them to change it back.
