It is creeping. If your neighbor goes outside in public and you stare at her from your window blinds, with the lights out just so you can see her ankles twice a day. Yes, she is in public and you are only looking, but the obsession is not normal behavior.

Thanks for this.

When Google said they were stopping 3rd party cookies, I thought it was just a simple security setting. The new system, Protected Audience, seems like 3rd party cookies without the whack-a-mole approach of listing every cookie advertisers can take, especially since there is nothing stopping data collectors from extracting data from it, like what Mozilla said in the article.

Hopefully there are fake data dumpers or cleaners for Protected Audience which would reduce the effectiveness of this system but looking how the Chrome team treats browser extensions, I doubt it.

Unfortunately, due to ASUS being based in China, we are unlikely to get a response until next week.

Even responses are late. Maybe Asus is using the snail mail for everything. They are going to sending floppy disks with the unlocker next month.

Considering how security is often forgotten on smart devices, having an oven connected to the internet is pretty scary...

I bought two printers in the last 2 decades. One looked like the model in the article, which I gave to a family member. The other one is a Brother Laser printer with a scanner.

I'd rather get a 50 pack of markers and start coloring in my printouts than buy a crappy inkjet printer. Plus it's bonding time with my nieces and nephews. I pay them in cookies.

I did a search for "retro handheld news" and they were like #7 and I did a search for "Anbernic rg353" and they were #8. I have blockers on and above Retro Dodo was Anbernic's official site (fair), an Aliexpress site that is not Anbernic's (crap), Amazon third part sellers (also crap), and one YouTube reviewer with 41k subs.

So his assessment is fair but I always tried to avoid Retro Dodo before because on its early days they always had some kind of info wrong or they don't go more in depth with their reviews. Their site ranking was always higher then better sites with better content.

It’s likely that our website structure isn’t perfect or that our content may likely be “over-optimised” for Google, but at least tell me. I am no SEO expert;l I have a million plates to spin as a content website operator, and I cannot get everything right. If Google were to inform me what I was doing incorrectly then I could change that, but they don’t. They just keep hiding our work, month after month after month.

Really curious about this.

If a law is passed, part of the bankruptcy process is releasing the code or selling off that division to another company.

To reduce e-waste, a law should be passed that if hardware is abandoned, it should be open sourced.

Perfect for Easter.

I don't have this issue. I was just curious if chnaging DNS would fix the issue for OP.

Thank you for the link though.

[–] IllNess 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Ooh! Great find!

Would changing DNS fix this problem then?

We should leave the parenting to parents.
