AND it has a brain in it…

Yeah I have always said that you can tell a nation by how it treats it’s weakest, most vulnerable people.

Hang on they are serious. Let me laugh louder HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

Yeah as soon as I saw the photo I said that’s old hat lol

Have a look at the Fuji x100. I dunno if it’s too big but I find the focal length and f stop more suitable and people shots are awesome

I was still a kid really. We used to occasionally help the farmer and he used to let us fish in his pond.

So it was hay bailing time and the hay was bailed and we were handballing them on to the trailer. I was struggling to pick up one.

The farmer’s wife had one in each hand. She was 8 ½ months pregnant. Farm folk are built different!

Lol is this the owl’s equivalent of the book “The Wasp’s Nest”

I always wondered about the manufacturer of baby oil…

Yup and games were fully formed because when you got that tape/cd that was it, the whole game. None of this “oh we will be adding blah blah”

I haven’t purchased any ea games since 2013 and this reminds me why.

Just yesterday I learned that 3 years ago a guy at my workplace was sacked for using ai to provide technical assistance to customers.

The reason he was sacked was not because the advice was wrong (it was found to be correct) but because he used AI instead of learning the role.

What I find mental is now there are round robbin emails from middle management (he is an awesome guy I am not bashing him) saying we need to use the same technology for the same customer questions and also to make our emails ‘more professional’

That really is taking the piss!

The point I was making was that if no data was gathered then people would have to pay for internet services such as emails, search, maps etc. That is not going to happen because people don’t want to put their hands in their pockets.

That’s the point though. If you do not consent then do not use.

Which is absolutely wrong and indefensible. This is about how you use the data though which absolutely should be heavily regulated.

Here’s the thing though. If we stopped the actual data gathering then we would be paying for all internet services directly out of our pocket. Now I have disposable income so I don’t mind doing that.

People can mass spam websites without data. Targeted ads are ads based on my search. Without this we would be paying for all internet services. Searching, email, maps everything you would need to pay for.

OK so it’s done. All the data scraping is illegal.

Now all that money they are making either comes directly out of our pockets or you don’t use it any more. A lot of countries now cannot afford the internet as a complete service.

The thing is though that people are selfish so this isn’t going to happen.

But if you use it then you really did consent to it. It’s right there in the t&C’s.

On an aside, if I have to suffer ads I would rather have ads which are about things I am interested in.

My favourite games are netball and rounders …
