Robots are human, too. Ah, wait. Never mind.

I have my own router. Does that mean Comcast will call the cops for a welfare check every few days?

I noticed that UBO Lite doesn't cause the ad boxes to vanish like UBO does. You see this on the likes of the weather.com webpage.

Exactly. The Lite version is basically "hiding" ads rather than blocking. The MV2 version stops the requests themselves from being made which save your bandwidth and battery. The light version lacks those benefits

Advertisers get to pretend their ads are being seen.

Websites get paid.

Users don't see ads.

Sounds like a win-win-win?

Users are still being tracked and your websites are still slower to load. More of your bandwidth and CPU is being used.

If you want a sophisticated version of what you think this is, see Ad Nauseum. It's uBlock Origin except they create a fake "profile" for you and selectively click ads under the hood to throw advertisers off

That's manifest V3 working as intended.

This is real hacker news! Well done :)

Arthur 1.2 I believe.

The final SL point release was very stable. Still is. Lion was a horrible and nasty release which shouldn't have seen the light of day. FWIW, SL introduced several new UI elements into OS X as they needed something to show off at release. Something. Anything.

This is a wonderful app for pairing. No Logitech spyware needed!

I avoid installing Logitech spyware on my Mac but there are FLOSS apps to do the equivalent. There's even a pairing FLOSS app for Linux to avoid installing Logitech spyware. FLOSS is amazing. LinearMouse is the Mac app.

If it's not malware then what is it called today?

"Telemetry." "Personalized experiences."

Basically doublespeak.

It's still malware, just anyone still left on Windows is accustomed to it now.
