I had a professor get upset no one had the book on day 1. In her defense, she heavily used the book.

She couldn’t understand that professors would make students a buy a book and never use it.

In another class a student had asked about the book a few days in, the professor’s response was “we have a book?” He inherited the class last minute and didn’t have time to look through all the materials.

I think it’ll be okay, Honey was actually making money from the manipulation without user knowlage.

Adblocks don’t make money and users are (should be) aware that tracking links and stuff gets removed.

make it blindingly obvious to the viewer that Breakfast Is Happening™

In others words “assume the viewer is too stupid to understand up cereal + day light + kitchen + after night time scene = breakfast.”

That’s one issue I have with a lot of newer shows and movies. Yes the older ones were guilty of it too, but now it feels like we’re being spoonfed every detail. “Did you catch the foreshadowing?? Here lets play it 3 times in slow motion, zoom in on it, and have a character say “oh look, that might be important later””

The multi-colored stuff is probably cereal.

The yellow could be homefries (cubed potato’s), corn flakes, or a big bowl of butter. (I like you egg theory)

The orange goop is probably oatmeal or one of these cereal that’s supposed to turn chocolate, but failed.

I suppose. I was thinking more of 1 Chinese company just spinning up a hundred copy/paste apps.

Sounds about right, From my understanding, they singled out TikTok instead of addressing the actual problem they claim to care about.

[Edit, another comment says its any app with 1million users. So now there’s just going to be a hundred TikTok clones all under the same umbrella just different names.]

Oh boy, I can’t wait for a completely boring corporate introduction devoid of any creativity due to the last ipad’s controversy!

Missing frame 5 where black suit falls too

The other lawyer in the case, Attorney Tom made a video going over what they are sueing for and some of the misconceptions.

People have a claim due to lost profits and potentially missed business opportunities.

Let’s Youtuber A had a sponsor affiliate and a spoken ad spot. Creator makes 2k for the sponsor read and 2% every time someone buys something via link. Honey swoops in and steals the affiliate link (regardless if the user got a coupon or not). The creator no longer getting the 2% and skews the success of the ad.

The creator’s ad performance (ad to finished transaction) is down, so sponsor lowers the commission to 1% and 1.5k for the next video. Enough people use honey and the metrics are bad enough the sponsor doesn’t renew contract with the creator.

On the consumer end, which due to arbitration clauses the lawyers aren’t actively pursuing (at this time) (see linked video).

Oof, you gotta find that FBI post (might have a different 3 letter agency) said that adbock is required for safe browsing. Tell them users can’t click on malware ads if there’s no malware ads to click.

Don’t worry, that’s what the developer did. They just convinced their boss it’s AI to keep their job

The problem with firing the ones who argued for opt-out is that it wouldn’t leave anyone else because they already fired the ones who argued for opt-in.

I think they just looked ahead when they got it and saw the word for 20250101 was (is?) “cusp”

Good enough we aren’t ordering a pizza, but next time you make it, I’m ordering a pizza.

Thanks for highlight that doesn’t even succeed in telling me where to look!

No, spread the word. Now you know Asus pre-builts are trash. Even if you dont care about Asus, someone was about to hit the buy button and avoided a cooperate scam.

it didn’t come back. But will do.

Not yet. Once their done with Start Trek and Star Wars, it will be Stargate’s turn.

Add “lighting done so we actually see what the fucks going on”. Sick of these dark, foggy, desaturated scene to hide the set budget was 12 cents.

Yeah, when I saw that shit I had a mini heart attack. Opened up process explorer to identify what was running. Found it was Asus and basically said “huh, how are you still here - delete”
