I know the topic of whether adblock is piracy is debated, but I am guessing there are a lot of adblock users here and I was wondering if anyone has seen the youtube adblock warning message in the wild. I use ublock origin and still haven't seen it once.

All future displays will have built in cameras that start dimming and turn off the screen if it notices you aren't paying attention. They'll say it is a power saving feature, but not put in an option to disable it.

This kinda already exists. There's that smart tv you can get for free by agreeing to built-in ads via a display underneath the main one or something. LTT discussed it recently; I think I saw a WAN show clip about it.

Edit: Found the clip I was thinking of, this goes into decent detail on this.

That's creepy.

We officially live in a Cyberpunk dystopia, and I am 100% here for it. Ride the synthwave, choom.

When it comes in exchange for rocket legs I will concede.

That's fair, I'll give you that. Only 80s cyberdeck/Hackers-style dystopia is currently available, and I'm okay with that. More will come, and I'm kind of a retro-head anyway. By the by, I updated my OG comment with a link to the clip I was talking about. Check it out and be horrified!
