Work, play, procrastinate, and panic.
The Google Nearby feature thing (Google’s coming version of Apple Air Tags) will require a constant background Bluetooth scanner to listen for the tags.
My opinion: that stays off. Looking for your lost phone, luggage, or ex-wife? Im not going to help you if i dont know you. Buy a new item, take better care of it.
Mine, I add some unicode emojis to make it look nice.

This is interesting. I use OTA antenna tv everyday, almost exclusively. I almost forgot OTA HDTV still uses the mpeg2-ts, similar to the dvd codec. Newer tv hardwares (>2010-ish) all can decode mpeg4, theoretically, since they utilize internet streaming apps and services.
I smell a new format war a comin’.
I say, go right for mpeg4 h.265, or higher. Instead of mixing mpeg2 and mpeg4, like the video demonstrated. Because no way am i going to “buy” a DRM-protected thing for every broadcaster… I’m currently pulling-in 20+ stations.
And that may be the other format war… to pay or not to pay.
By streamers ignoring all the decades of broadcasting experience, and all established what’s fair air-time for both content and commercial. That’s the frustration… they’re rewriting standards… “my company, my content, my timings, my bottom-line”. And doing it poorly. And at top speed.
My favorite acronym is the ol’ TWAIN flatbed scanners… Technology Without An Interesting Name!
There exists filter block lists, userscripts, browser add-ons, the old-old mbasic mobile version of the FB website, and webview apps like Frost. But it’s quite well-known now big sites like Twitter, FB, Reddit, etc, are using dynamic ever-changing anti-adblock techniques. It is quite exhausting keeping up with which solution works today and which one doesn’t… “a cat and mouse game”.
In honest, it’s not Reddit-like hate here. Just comments experience consistant of, “well, I myself have tried all the tricks and at end of it, I’m tired, I gained little to nothing out of it. Try walking away from it maybe”. Or like me, use FB sparingly – like credit cards, ex-girlfriends, or M.S.G. in food.
Born is the memes.
