Because it’s part of the show? What is it advertising? Usually there are some amount of credits. Certainly not ads.

Being poor is expensive.
As someone that lives in the world you’re describing and drives everywhere, you’re wrong. Weight doesn’t just all of the sudden exist. Walking 40ft instead of 300ft twice a day is not going to make a noticeable difference. Again walking is healthier, but nobody has ever driven, gotten really fat, and then wondered what happened.
How fast do you think weight is gained or how long do you think people spend in cars that gaining an excessive amount of weight is a surprise? No arguments about walking being healthier, but for most people, time in the car isn’t that significant.
Came for the headline, stayed for the picture, and really enjoyed the article. Well done The Onion.
Shit… Watch out for bad actors too.
And it’s impossible to make the data truly secure. If a bag bad actor gets in, GG everything.
Yea, I know. But I need a cyber Robin Hood in my life right now.
Where are all the hackers out there that have the skills to crack a TV to load something open source? They’re computers. There has to be a way to jailbreak/root then.
Might have been one of those, “dog that caught the car” moments, where it got a lot bigger than he ever anticipated and didn’t expect all of the attention.
Even if he didn’t do anything illegal, Sony has enough money and lawyers to hurt him. Unless a judge threw out any case early, he’d still have to defend himself, which cost money and takes time.
Every business that has connected devices should be running an AV solution, at least for Windows, which is the vast majority of users. In many sectors, it is a requirement to do business. I’ve never worked in a Linux based business environment, so I’m not sure what the AV solutions are. Many reputable businesses will have network wide monitoring via SIEM tools and other agents.
AV does exist for the end user’s security, generally even the likes of Kaspersky. The inherent nature of running at the kernel level means that if something malfunctions, malicious or not, the effects can be significant. Generally speaking, these products aren’t malicious because that’s bad for business. The problem with companies like Kaspersky is that they have to comply with government requests which could mean access to private information.
The most important part of IT security is the human element. Don’t click bad links, don’t give out secret information, etc. AV products help when people mess up but also help protect against drive-by threats that don’t require human interaction.
I don’t run anything in my person Linux machines and used free Windows Defender on Windows for years. For anything not needing corporate level security, the free Defender is going to be more than enough and in most cases the best option for performance, not just cost.
Not really. It’s the nature of how software like AV has to work. In order to protect against the baddies, it has to run at the kernel level, which is unfettered access to the system. If it didn’t run there, it would be borderline useless for security. Bad practices like poor code review like Crowdstrike is the real crime.
It’s on my shortlist of things to do and has always been a goal since my teenage years. I’m tired of dealing with lenses.
Really it’s the upfront cost. Over the last 20 years I can say confidently that I have not spent more on corrective lenses than I would have on LASIK, but I’m getting close. I had it priced out last year and it’s about $4500 for the procedure. I’m at a point in my life where I would feel comfortable taking on those payments now. I know growing up there was zero chance my parents could have made it happen for me, it we would have all been starving.
I have not. I can only do the audiobooks, especially for something this long. I’m going to have to go back and listen to the last 5 hours or so of RoW to refresh. It ended so powerfully in the epilogue that I need closure.
I’ve really enjoyed everything in the Cosmere, but Stormlight is a step above the rest. Last book in this era is out soon. I can’t wait.
I will often pause educational videos to study something on screen. Putting ads over that ruins the experience.
I have YT premium mainly for YT music, but I do consume a lot (read: too much) YT content. I split the family plan with 4 other members outside of my wife and I, so it’s like $3 per month for just me. I’m not logged in on my work computer, and the amount of ads is insanely intrusive and a off putting. I honestly think that if I didn’t have a premium sub, I’d almost never use the platform because it’s so bad.
Not shit, but isn’t that what brought about mad cow disease? Farmers were feeding cattle brain matter that had infected prions. Idk if it was cows eating cow brains or other animals though.
Are you taking about previews? Yes, those are ads. The intro to a show that is the same every episode, those aren’t ads, but are skipable.
