My response to google or any of their adjacents is “wait people are seeing ads?”

Even though i know that yes, the majority do just let the ads blare into their brain. I just don’t engage with them to a point that it surprises me people still have energy to complain about em.

Recently told one of my friends about ublock and he was flabbergasted. He’d been just raw dogging the internet since its creation. Was more surprised he never stopped to think “maybe it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Nothing like getting a speeding ticket for going 44mph in a 45 because you came close to breaking the law.

I think it comes down to what you said, but for the obscenely rich.

A pro has failed more than a beginner has tried. The obscenely rich have been told ‘yes’ more than the poor have had the opportunity to even ask questions.

You can learn this type of failed behavior just like a bad habit, and boy howdy is he the master of it.

That probably IS the “secret” software. Lol Plug a phone into your car? Insurance company gets the info one way or another.

Great now i read thank as than-k. Lol

You arent far from the truth.

In my experience it boils down to middle-management “tech-bro” types that still use norton antivirus thinking that if they just pay more money and install new software on top of windows defender everything will be fine.

When instead they should be enforcing multifactor authentication on the executives accounts.

But hey, I’m sure that executive that’s been given too much access since they “own the company” would be bothered if they had to reach for their phone one extra time a day.

That or janice from accounting that has 20 years of privileges handling payroll and keeps her passwords in an excel doc on her desktop labeled “passwords”.

But yes, a $20k a year subscription to an SIEM sold to you by some marketing guy will solve security needs. It just needs to build a profile on you and collect all your info! One more ai bot and we’ll solve tech security!

Hey look amazon shipped me a free item, i just need to open this pdf and give it admin access to retrieve it!
