It seems you are right, but it's better than Google ads. And I'm not trying to let it slide. But at least it's kinda cool. It's frustrating because sometimes I want to learn about video games and like the miyoo mini. Like, I wish I could get ads for micro controllers. I think the herd is too stupid for that though. Or maybe ads are just the lowest common denominator. Which I'm definitely not asking for specialized ads. You know, Edward Bernays + ai. It's like the slippery slope. You let one ad in and they just keep happening. I also never clicked the link. So it's funny that I have a lot to say.

Posting about a DIY screen would have been much more interesting.

I've been wanting to make one with a printed enclosure for a while now.

this would be great for something like winamp(qmmp)
