It is weird. I have never felt the need to have an iPad or any tablet, actually. I guess this type of device maybe suits more to people that are on the go all the time. Also, I don't intend to spend money on any Apple products. No need for pricy, underachieving Balenciaga hardware.

Maybe the video is not ethical in the sense of using AI over real people in the making of it, but, generally, there's nothing wrong with it. Let's not bother with details such as "ohhhhh the plate has weird graphisms because it's AI", things are changing and AI will be more and more used by large companies, to the despise of people, including me.

Maybe too much drama from Mr. Goodwinsr? I use Windows 11 since the beggining and use Windows since version 2.0. Would not spend a dime on any Apple-Balenciaga priced design products. While explicitly boycotting Apple I use W11 without any of those hurts. I don't see any intrusive advertising, a few in the Bing/Edge which I frankly don't use, opting for Firefox with Ublock Origin. Also, every single 1000+ employees company also uses Windows 11, just like this corporate Laptop I am typing on, so, what's the matter? Cry less, babies.

I deleted my personal Facebook "700 friends", Instagram, Twitter and Linkedin accounts back in 2016, nine years ago. Linkedin I had to reactivate in 2021 because, despite all the spam, lies, hipocrisy and security flaws, it has become the standard in HR (not that I ever landed a job through it - all my jobs I landed throug my personal IT network). I never felt the need to use those tools again. Whenever I need to buy flowers or order some morning breakfast for someone's birthday from companies that just use Instagram or Facebook, I use an empty ghost account I created exactly for this. I certainly feel happier, or maybe, less depressive, after stop seeing only the rich, the happy, the look-what-a-great-holiday-I-am-able-to-provide-for -my-family, and look-my-puffed-lips-everywhere.

Is there any way to disable ads on LG TVs? I was really frustrated with my Samsung TV when it suddenly started showing ads in the Smart Hub. After I disabled the relevant setting in the configuration menu, the ads seemed to stop. I was actually considering switching back to LG for my next TV because Tizen has been so sluggish—but now, I'm reconsidering. Honestly, there's no version of ads that people enjoy. Does anyone actually like having their experience interrupted by ads—whether you're just trying to change the channel or switch inputs? I can't imagine anyone answering 'yes' to that. We all hate ads, and yet companies keep pushing them into every device we use. It's just ridiculous.
