- Comment on European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying 10 months ago:
I’d be happy to keep the ones that say:
“we notice you are in europe and we can’t use our cookies to track you so you can’t come to our website”
It’s good to know sites with policies like that to ensure I never visit them.
- Comment on They're perfectly good brownies, Karen. What is your problem? 11 months ago:
There’s 7 spaces in the baking tray, there’s 8 brownies! What is the 8th brownie op!
- Comment on A Spanish agency became so sick of models and influencers that they created their own with AI — and she’s raking in up to $11,000 a month 11 months ago:
We had all this back in the 1970s with “Robots and Computers will take all our jobs” scaremongering.
As factories & production lines started to use robots and CNC machines, CAD and digital imaging appeared, accounting software etc etc we were all going to lose our jobs and live a life of unemployed leisure.
Never happened.
I’m sure AI will play an important role in the future but like so many new fads it will settle into its niche and we will all be okay.
- Comment on It would have to be a VERY lazy dog to allow a fox to jump over it anyway. 11 months ago:
When I started my career as a telecoms data engineer back in thr '80s the we used QBF to test modems on dial up data connections…the tester had a QBF button that would sent the text to a tester at the other end or it could even test round a loop back to itself.
You could inject errors with a button and these errors would count up on a basic 8 segment red led display to prove everything was working okay…happy days

- Comment on YouTube cracking on ad blockers. 1 year ago:
Google recently announced that it’s podcast service is shutting down and moving to YouTube music, I don’t want or need YouTube music so I’ve already moved to Podcast Republic, it has a few ads but they can be removed with a small one off payment. Google just wants to shove all it’s users into YouTube and YouTube music for maximum ads and data harvesting.
- Comment on Facebook’s sexist, ageist ad-targeting violates Calif. law, court finds | "Shocking" ruling could have "devastating effects," tech law expert warns. 1 year ago:
The thing is, no matter how many times big tech companies are caught out and facing inquiries and legal judgements for bending and breaking the rules, lying, doing illegal things, targeting kids, misinformation, election fixing etc etc NOTHING EVER CHANGES
