- Comment on The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You 3 days ago:
Advertising doesn’t work on me. And it’s not because I’m some ultra-savvy “you can’t trick me” smart guy (I am but that’s not the point)… It’s that advertising doesn’t speak to me in the way I need to be spoken to. What I need to hear is how a product is going to change my life or improve it, and advertising doesn’t do that. All the subtleties about lifestyle, self-worth, being accepted by others, that’s just wasted effort on me.

Yes, and he had all the wireless doodads, everything. Keep in mind this was back in the day when Wi-Fi at home was relatively rare.
I think he was just a complete kook. I mean it’s hard to describe all the details… But the way he kept his home, the way he dressed and kept himself. His insane comb over where the hair on one side of his head was like 4 ft long and he turned it into like this turban type deal. I think he was just low-key bonkers.

Decades ago I ran a “house doctor” service and I marketed primarily to seniors, because they had the money, and were least likely to want to crawl under the desk and start unhooking things, etc. I got so busy at one point I had to stop answering the phone.
Anyways, I remember this one guy that just needed me to get his printer working, so he could print bikini pictures from the Internet. Not porn. Not anything hardcore or even more lurid than that. Bikini pictures only.
I could not convey to him that with the Internet, you have infinite bikini pictures and printing wasn’t strictly necessary. I guess he wanted to beat off to paper? I didn’t inquire too far, just pay me so I can leave lol

Skittles. It’s the perfect example of a corporate advertising campaign that has been run out in the open in front of people, and no one can see it. From like “day one” on Reddit.
Burger King has a huge presence, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, so many others.
Kagi has been running a stealth spam campaign here on Lemmy for over a year.

- Comment on If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7 1 week ago:
AI has become a self-enfeeblement tool.
I am aware that most people are not analytically minded, and I know most people don’t lust for knowledge. I also know that people generally don’t want their wrong ideas corrected by a person, because it provokes negative feelings of self worth, but they’re happy being told self-satisfying lies by AI.
To me it is the ultimate gamble with one’s own thought autonomy, and an abandonment of truth in favor of false comfort.

Sorry friend, but you’re both uninformed and delusional. And sadly confident about your wrong opinions.

I did the same for my Windows 10 PC… It says my 3-6 year ESU is active, but I get the bug in the setting screen saying Windows no longer gets updates… But I got a defender update the other day! Cautiously optimistic

Download the ISO from MS, make bootable USB with Rufus. After clicking Start you can choose local account only, bypass TPM and RAM reqs, etc

Most people thought you had to snap them in half to destroy the data, and that the data was on the “down side”. No no my friend, the data is the shiny label part and you can wreck the disc by just flaking some off with a pointy metal thing.

Around 20 years ago I started our cities first house doctor computer service. People were in an extreme state of paranoia even letting me use their PC, thinking I was going to steal all their banking information and do all kinds of evil stuff.
Now people are like hey smiling graphic on the screen and this thing says it’s going to help me okay I’ll just give it access to everything

Pro tip: Buy great laptops on Marketplace, use Rufus to make an ISO which bypasses the RAM and TPM requirements and lets you make a local account, install Win11 and resell for 2x what you paid
I’ve been rolling in cash with this for the past month

You are talking a lot of philosophical stuff, but the reality was when you wanted to get the low level hardware, there was very little documentation. Even banks of the technical documents had giant blanks saying these are a bunch of video registers and interrupts, basically good luck lol

My assumption was it had something to do with luminosity, but I’m at the end of my technical expertise for this implementation of insane technology lol

I’m going to actually you lol
The reason it works better with CRT is because of the phosphors. They continue to glow, long after the signal has passed over. Check out a CRT slow motion.
Everything to do with display technology involves tricking the eye and relying on persistence of vision which is innate.
