- Comment on Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone Can’t Let Go Of Stardew Valley 1 month ago:
He seems very happy to keep working on it and he’s bringing on help as he needs. He’s even taking breaks from other project to prevent burnout. Seems like he’s practicing good balance. Why does someone need to move on from a passion project they’re approaching with a level head and have invested their career in?

They’re not even going to profit so much off the ads as they will having a new way to distribute them. Even then its, “line go up this quarter”, not “what if sales go down due to this?”. They’ll license it out to every offer company who needs it for line go up.

you’ve described youtube in 2008 and it was a much better platform.

the issue isn’t what time to show ads, or where. It’s the furthering invasion of marketing into private spaces and lack of apparent concern for end-user consent. There are security concerns when devices can hijack eachother. This technology is likely to rely on some means of detecting idle time so you know, try reading longer text…

- Comment on Gadget question: a bluetooth device that vibrates when there's a phone call (no smartwatch or bluetooth headphones) 11 months ago:
You can try adding terms like “accessibility device” or similar to your web search terms. Ditto seems like a good option if you can source it. It looks discontinued.
Your next option may be to use the screenless fitness trackers and deny permission to fitness data if thats possible on your phone. Razer nabu possibly?
Maybe try searching for remote control couples toys, some of those apps should have this functionality though it may or my not be an acceptable solution at/for work
