  • In Leak, Facebook Partner Brags About Listening to Your Phone’s Microphone to Serve Ads for Stuff You Mention

  • Even people you'd really expect to use adblockers. A good example is right here on Lemmy, people here are generally pretty tech-savvy yet you get threads with lots of people complaining about ads. This has been a weird lesson as I get older, seeing that most people somehow don't even think about lifting a finger to fix things they see as problems, they really just complain and then do absolutely nothing to help themselves. It's the same with if someone mentions something they don't know what it is, instead of taking 5 seconds to just look it up they comment to ask about it and then never reply to people answering their question. I'm certain that it's very common to have some weird need to make others do work for you, they don't actually care about finding out what something is or how to do something to fix a problem, they just care about making others spend any kind of effort for them.

  • I'm an older millennial who generally dislikes new words like that but this is the one that I fully accept. It's just a good word, you don't need any prior knowledge the understand it either, it just works.

  • Are you somehow not aware that it's not lost to time..? You write like you think it's only able to be watched live and then never again.

  • Why you almost never see a clock at the mall

    Jump

  • Outside of the US where it's pretty common with large clocks in malls. Every mall I've been in in several European countries has had one or several large clocks, often being a central point of the mall.

  • Yeah, I try to keep it clean. I'm pretty sure the fan has been warped, so one of the blades drags against the housing a bit, and I don't have the tools to open it up that much to try to fix it. It only happens at high fan speeds, though, and that doesn't happen often enough to be truly annoying.

  • All I have is a 13 year old laptop, and I use it basically all day most days. It's plays music and movies etc with no issues. Cloud pc for gaming, which also works perfectly. It really doesn't like youtube, though, and it sounds like a jet engine every time system and app updates start to download. Can't afford to get anything better anyway. A friend gave it to me after it died on him and he got a new one, wasn't hard to fix. I cried when I got it because it improved my life a lot, just being able to do basic things.
