Kif! We have a conundrum!

Shhh! Nobody tell them about “inside out.”

As I’ve heard someone say last year: “I wish Reddit a happy Digg.com”

You’re always seconds away from death. Just take another breath to reset the clock.

That’s exactly where I wanted to work, but before you hate, I wanted to get into advertising because I didn’t like what I saw and thought I could do better. I got the degrees, took the psych classes, and set off to change the world for the better. Nobody hired me.

You can’t buy what you don’t know exists, and there are some awesome things out there. But being hammered by messages or propaganda is lazy and abusive; I don’t put up with it.

So yeah, I’m an wannabe advertiser turned massive ad blocker/privacy supporter. Screw the industry.

Let’s bring back contextual integrity! Woot!

Paying a PG&E bill loads scripts from the following:

adroll.com, appdynamics.com, cookielaw.org, decibelinsights.net, demdex.net, facebook.net, go-impulse.net, googletagmanager.com, licdn.com, medallia.com, onetrust.com, optimized.com, pages04.net, tealiumiq.com, tiqcdn.com, seg.js

There is a nonconductive coating on the wire that also prevents it from oxidizing. The wires can touch, but if the coating isn’t scratched it won’t short.

Some fine grit sandpaper will reveal the metal so you can solder connections.

They didn’t whatsoever. I expected that. They said they sent my complaint through so I hope I tickled a 0 into a 1 somewhere in their sea of data, but I don’t expect results.

Oh yeah, they followed up with an offer to buy a new TV. Like, that was a little cold there, dude.

I complained about this to “support” a few days ago. A full screen ad before the home screen with the top 1/3 an ad and the bottom 1/3 ads.

Straight up told them I will pick another manufacturer this weekend.

I’m burned out on protecting myself from smart devices. Maybe just a dumb screen this round.

Edit: I have every single privacy setting set to off, but some update added a new category and defaults to on. Don’t know how long Amazon has been spying on me or what they took.

My device has autoplay off already. It may have stopped a full screen video ad, but there is a full screen picture ad instead.
