Way to overthink it.

Exactly!
The belief that forensics is reliable is unfounded. I don’t know the stat but last I remember reading it, it’s pretty low that they can prove anyone did anything. More murderers haven’t been caught than have.

Same. I won’t tolerate pop ups. We didn’t when the internet was new and I sure won’t when watching a show I’M PAYING TO WATCH.

^ this. All of it. It’s death by a thousands cuts and just shows the incredible amount of greed they have (not shareholder value, it’s bloody greed).
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 month ago:
It’s the same mentality of we shouldn’t mute ads or go to the bathroom when they come on. That’s the advertising businesses problem, not mine. They haven’t made life better for most of us.

Holy crap that’s cheap! Honestly, I’d pay that.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 month ago:
Agree with this. For my business, and most customer facing ones honestly, Google is how people discover you. They are the modern day Yellow Pages. You don’t exist on Google and you may as well not exist.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 month ago:
Absolutely the same for me. The only reason I block their ads is because of how frequently they interrupt the content. It’s just unacceptably greedy. Pre-roll ads is fine, I get they have bills to pay too.

Fantastic explanation and critical thinking process. Well done.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 months ago:
And this is why my wife and I homeschool our kids. It’s all about teaching critical thinking. They’re so far beyond their peers in public schools it’s not even close. NCLB was one of the worst decisions for our society in centuries.
- Comment on Todays touchscreen UI's are so forcefed with slide-options, widgets, AI assistants, popup UI's and auto- correct/translate... 2 months ago:
You nailed it. Nothing is more infuriating than a UI element moving as soon as you go to tap it and you now miss tap something else. I echo stop re-arranging my shit!!

Excellent rescission and partnership. See corporation, this is what a leader looks like.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 2 months ago:
Yeah, not seeing this as the big bad everyone thinks it is. We regularly have Teams meetings with other companies when they’re sharing their proprietary info. I’m okay with a screen capture disabling function just like we’d want to use from time to time.

100% they will and want this. I’m a power user and even I see this as the future.
Have you worked in a non-tech field with people? Modern OSs and office apps are not intuitive to them. Hell, a lot have problems with just their phones as is.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 2 months ago:
When I go running the phone stays gone. It forces you to be present where you are. Very freeing.
- Comment on How do I decrease acne after shaving my face? 2 months ago:
