I use Facebook for some hobby groups, and I only use Safari to view it… the other day my daughter and I were watching The Fast and the Furious movie and I started getting my feed full of all the cars from the movie… so we did some experiments saying words like KFC and beer while the screen was opened, and we started getting beer and KFC ads in the feed… i dont know if the app makes it worse, but it was certainly a bit of an eye opener
Wow… the tvOS one is interesting to me… I will watch with interest
I always thought this is why the Facebooks and Googles of the world are hoovering up the data now
Because Windows 11 is yet another painful transition for staff who are mostly IT illiterate folk, and it easier to leave things the way they are until necessary…
If I had editing skills, I would remove the bit where they are underwater trying to get the ship door closed… I didn’t mind it except for that bit
I thought I read that Intel said this was from messing with voltages? I have had plenty of these processors in the last couple of years and never experienced crashes, but I don’t overclock
No one believes this stuff anymore, right? Google combines 3 teams to focus on making the Play Store more profitable… something something developers
Does this person work at a company where they are solely responsible for organising meetings?
They have always followed the iPhone event haven’t they? Maybe this year they think they have enough advantage to lead
Yeah, that looks terrible. I don’t think the trailer even got a facial expression from me

I think I got online around 1995 when I went to an internet cafe and paid my $4 an hour to see what the fuss was about. I think I bought a modem on the way home and I was hooked. Back then there wasn’t really even a search engine, you went to a portal page… then came basic search like altavista, excite then google.
There were tonnes of communities and web chats if IRC wasn’t your thing, then there was the wave of dedicated chat apps like ICQ, MSN Messenger etc
I have many fond memories of the internet before it became a vehicle for commerce
Why do they make sequels? Because they didn’t stuff it up the first time
I eventually got the GPU passed through to the VM… it took about a day of following different guides. Then I tried the same thing on a container and it was about 3 mins work and it was in infinitely better experience with plex in a container instead of a vm
The trailer felt like I saw the whole movie
iPhone unlocked with Facebook opened in the safari browser (no meta apps installed, and the only two apps approved to user the microphone in the security settings are Teams and my Banking app for voice security prompt). We were watching Fast and the Furious on the TV in the loungeroom and we were noticing videos pop up on Facebook on the phone for Honda Civics, then Toyota Supras etc. We then started joking talking about KFC and beer as a test, and within 10 minutes we successfully started seeing ads for Beer, KFC. We then tried another when we started talking about Bryan Adams tickets, and sure enough, we got an ad to buy tickets to Bryan Adams. It would take about 10mins from talking about a topic to things about that topic to start appearing in the feed
