And the amount of effort required to get a refund is ridiculous. Back and forth emails resulting in a cheque in the post 2 months later

Have you seen the 1979 Mad Max film? He’s only mad for the final 10 minutes, he’s pretty chilled up until that point
Upset that “loop detected” isn’t the fat lööps cat
Straight up misleading. Mentioning AI in the headline and then sneakily switching to “the cloud” (i.e. most of the internet) when discussing figures. They say it uses a similar amount to commercial flights? Fine. Ground the flights, I’d rather have the internet a million times over.
On top of this, there’s lots of ways that they would get the data without secretly listening to microphones, which people may not be aware of in all these anecdotes. In the one above, maybe just one party member googled lab grown diamonds, or perhaps messaged a friend on Facebook messenger about their trick. Not sure if that gets analysed for ads but it’s more plausible than mics. Anyway if they’re all on the same WiFi then they’ll probably be on the same IP and could easily be shown the same ads, making all party members now ripe for a diamond ad.
There’s a well known video of a guy saying “cat food” around his phone, and then his phone shows Google ads for cat food. He concluded that it was secretly listening to him, because there was no other way for Google to get that info other than to shadily tap into his mic. He performs this experiment on a live streamed YouTube video
I’m an idiot and I put emojis in my SSID and sometimes devices don’t like that but I don’t want to change everything. So there’s a guest network with no emojis
That would have been fine, but why the spunk cocktail
So far the only thing I’ve noticed is I can’t play Valorant, and soon League of Legends too.
Careful what you call United Kingdom! They left out Ireland because it’s not part of UK
1984 + Biden (5 letters) = 1989 = Taylor Swift
It’s hard to put into text but the emphasis was on the ee. It was all wrong. But it made it so much better.
I was in Malaysia once and a got chatting to a guy who didn’t have the best English. He asked me for another way to say “I’m only joking” and I taught him to say “I’m only having a giraffe”, which he managed in broken English (“Having a jee raff”) I hope one day he says that to an Englishman and confuses him thoroughly.
Must be exhausting!
Fuck you man if you dont like my fucking music, get your own fucking cab. I’ll pull over to the side and kick your ass out.
To quote pink Floyd: There is no dark side. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.
Same. If anything, it would be in Spotify’s best interest to steer you away from broadly appealing stuff because they’re the mega artists that probably negotiated a better deal. (I’m guessing here)
