How is Jenny and does Tommy know?

That and ME is a huge dip in that curve.

I’m on board with your Vista–>7 thoughts, but I do take issue with ME. It never was a decent OS and it very much was a steaming shitpile. It was far too much new code stupidly rushed for the holiday season. I remembering installing it being a roll of the dice even with the same hardware. It would work, then it wouldn’t, then it might work with some odd issues, then it deffo would not at all. Hours wasted trying.

I really did try, but never had a good experience with WinME and I know of no one else who did. Even first Vista was better (though saying that makes me shudder).

I had someone hijack my account last year, Like a dummy, I had failed to setup 2FA. I caught it in the morning after they worked it most of the wee hours. Phone and email had been changed. I contacted PP and to my surprise they were effective in righting everything. By the end of the day, it was corrected. I was absolutely shocked they were so helpful, but I guess it can happen. So, maybe try again?

Not sure how all that can be separated out meaningfully as it is the platform being used and advertisers have expectations based on whatever agreement has been struck between them. Maybe I misunderstood. Perhaps the difference in your example is a user acting versus a bot? Intent probably comes up somewhere as well, but I am not a lawologist. 🤷‍♂️

My understanding is that the contractual agreement with advertisers is that they pay to reach ears. The ads did not reach any ears as promised which could be equated to fraud.

Yes. Especially the monkey. It looked so cool I use that one as an avatar in some games.

Reminds me of the anti-smoking campaign using animals. They did look cooler.
