  • Same as. Certain family members expect everyone to be on Facebook and also drink all of Zucks Kool-Aid.

    I just don’t go to those family events, unless I’m personally invited. If an event only exists of Facebook, it does not exist to me.

    I have 2FA apps on my phone for work. I also have the horrendous HR app for applying for Annual Leave. If they insist that I need more work-related apps on my personal phone, I will be getting a second phone and using that exclusively for work. It will be turned off when I walk out the door at the end of the day and kept in my office drawer.


  • We have a HiSense 60” and have never connected it to any network. It works perfectly as a Dumb Monitor with multiple HDMI inputs and HDCP and HDMI-CEC work perfectly with our AppleTV (HDMI 1) and PS5 (HDMI2) We have TOSLink Optical Audio to an Amp(receiver) and it works almost perfectly, until the Amp chucks a hissy-fit because people forget to turn it off.







  • They are all doing these offensive bundles of crap. It is worse than the days of Cable.

    We are subscribed to Apple One Family Premier. I need the large data for my family to backup their devices, but none of us want Fitness+ or News+. It is cheaper to get this extra crap we don’t want, than to just get Data.

    I just need a way to disable Fitness+ without disabling the Workout features. This is the same as disabling Shorts, Music and Games in YouTube.



  • I usually get bombarded with Right-Wing content after I watch Juice Media videos. Also, if a watch a feminist video, it is usually followed by recommendations of “AnTi-WoKe” mansplaining videos. it is if they want to show “Both Sides” after I watch something about maintaining democracy and contributing to society in a positive way.

    The YouTube Games are just another banner of unwanted “content” like Shorts.

    The T&A shorts are usually of young women in jeggings and crop-tops doing risqué actions; if your mouse passes over the Shorts for a millisecond , YouTube autoplays them and registers as a view, creating a negative feedback loop of more and more scantily clad young women doing mundane things in a risqué way.


  • Jailbait is probably the wrong word, but every single short has a scantily clad young lady. It isn’t the Algorithm because all I watch are Machining Videos, DIY and Restoration Videos and the occasional Science and Natural History video.

    The most risqué channel subscribe to is VanWives.

    Speaking of which, the Algorithm never serves anything that I subscribe to. I would better off going straight to my Subscriptions page.

    I will maintain my observation that the Algorithm is shit.


  • This is ridiculous.

    • their algorithms are crap and keep ramming right-wing bullshit down my throat
    • they keep trying to get me to play YouTube games
    • they list YouTube Shorts multiple times in the Home Screen and most of the time it is just over-sexualised jailbait.
    • using anonymous Google to find a video on YouTube is more effective than using YouTube search

    I am seriously thinking of getting an Apple Vision Pro just so I can use Juno and bypass all the bullshit.

    Time I planned an exit strategy.





  • Best summary;

    The whole problem with Microsoft in general is that they want to be Apple. They want their own hardware & software ecosystem that they rule over with absolute power. But culturally they’re not Apple, they’re a child that needs 24/7 adult supervision. They can’t and won’t do security, their track record of handling all types of incidents is abysmal, and they’re absolutely terrified of making any changes that might mildly inconvenience enterprise customers. They want all the benefits of controlling their own ecosystem, but will take on exactly zero of the responsibilities. They literally cannot be trusted to secure their own ecosystem and the EU for sure knew this.
