I couldn't postpone my phone updating any longer. It finally just took over and was like gently caress YOU I'M UPDATING WHETHER OR NOT YOU CONSENT! As usual, like every loving time it updates, everything appears normal, until... this time it's the autocorrect. Suddenly it's autocorrecting everything I write, most of which is spelled loving correctly but it changes it to something it thinks I mean to say? Why the gently caress does it keep changing "autocorrect" to "Sorocco"?!

The number of iterations that are all almost exactly the same but slightly different for no reason (other than I assume some middle manager wanting to take credit for doing something) that Microsoft Configuration Manager/Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manger/SCCM/you get the idea has gone through is insane. Edit: Just looked a t the current version I have installed, and it is currently listed as "Configuration Manager Console." Check with me in 6 months, it will have changed again by then.

Ads and the people who make them are filth and poo poo 100% of the time. If I for some reason can't block an ad I will legit leave the room, or at the very least avert my eyes from it.

the only time i'm ok with being advertised to is when i intentionally go to slickdeals or something. if i want to see a bunch of deals and sales, sure, throw'em at me. the rest of the time, not at all

Armacham posted:Yeah anyone in marketing or advertising should just jump off a cliff into a volcano Hey, there are degrees here. People operating the camera for a commercial, they're just getting by. People creating a marketing campaign? They're rotten. People developing new ways to shove even more ads down your throat in more deceptive ways? They should be entombed in concrete to avoid contaminating the environment. Professor Shark posted:It drives my wife nuts when I turn the tv on mute when an ad comes on. They irritate the hell out of me and using ublock has made me even less tolerant I remember getting a Tivo back when they were new, crazy technology. You hit select-play-select-3-0-select and then the advanced button skipped commercial breaks. It was magic. Random Stranger fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Aug 25, 2023 |

Like, I used to work for the student loan fund administration in norway, and during some talk by some talking head one time he brought up as a neat aside how after Mad Men started airing the number of applications for support for various marketing studies loving skyrocketed, which really tells you all you need to know about the type of person going into marketing.

I just noticed Lyft serving up ads in their app And it pops the drawer with the ad back up every single time you swap away and back to the app. Quick google suggests they just added it a week or so ago.

I click on email ads and never buy anything. I like to think lots of clicks and no buys means they'll stop paying as much per ad.

My kid has a phone now and asked for a game to play while on the bus. We put angry birds on there, but it's now a complete mess of ads and ate up 127mb of data the very first bus ride. Maybe people slow boiled got used to it? But coming back to it from like 2012 or whenever was shocking. I saw someone else said console versions are the only way to play this now, so maybe she needs to take the 3ds instead.

I have a kid sibling that was playing a gacha game that would use an entire family plan of data in a handful of days. I would say it's maybe a little out of control.

I gave up on finding mobile games that a) are actual games instead of numbers going up and b) let me actually play them and installed a Game Boy emulator instead. Currently working my way through Mole Mania.
