Were photos really called flashlights in 1920?

If only hacking was as easy as guessing the most obvious of passwords like in War Games and in Hackers. 😅

Well they banned me for saying I don't like ads and called it harassment. They have no idea what they are doing and are not fit to be admins of anything.

Paying to remove ads is part of the ad business model. Upset your customer enough until they give you money to make it stop. Once you pay to remove the ads you have rewarded them for implementing ads which lets them know that implementing ads was a great way at making money.

So YouTube premium is not another model. It is the same model. Another model is paying for a service that never had ads at all such as NebulaTV or CuriosityStream.

Working for free for a large corporation is just sad. What's even weirder is that this person acknowledges that it is basically a job, but doesn't mind not getting paid for it. I think most people that spend ridiculous amounts of time working for a big corporation for free don't have the understanding that it is basically a job.

I hope he seeks help of some kind.

Lengths such as inches, feet and miles they are all unrelated to one another so here is my proposal.

Instead of the kilobyte range we would have a bet. This is the size of the extended ascii table off 255 ascii characters that are 7 bits each or 1785 bytes. The bet comes from alphabet.

Instead of megabytes we have the img which is based off the average size of a photo at 1.44mb which is only coincidentally the same size of a floppy disk.

Instead of a gigabyte we have the bloat which is derived from total install size of Windows XP at around 2.4gb.

Probably a lot of them. Definitely food distribution though.

Front end cameras? Are they serious? That isn't a solution to not being able to see in front of your car. 🤦

Make the darn thing smaller.

Isn't it more like a request? They don't have to oblige.

It just pulled in the first frame of the video on the website. The reason Bill Gates is in this video is because of a famous anti-trust lawsuit against Microsoft that can be thought of as an equivalent of this one against Google.
