Today's paid-for ads in Chrome include the "7 Day Bigger Butt Challenge" from betterme.com, but, the number-two slot is not, as usual, filled by a bra ad from Wacoal, or, an ad from a Chinese manufacturer of industrial pulverizing machines, or, an ad for a new model Porsche Carrera 911 S that in Thailand would cost over US$ 370K.
Don't they know that I'm an old man who rides a bicycle, that i don't wear a bra, that the only pulverizing i do is with garlic, that i don't drive ?
AI ?

Are you feeding them with all you data and allowing them to show you "personalized ads"?
If not... it is ALL you fault

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

afaik: i have all the Chrome privacy/telemetry settings on maximum no.
but, i can't imagine Google not seeing my browsing history, and, i can easily imagine, given their track record, them doing dirty deeds under the hood.

You notice the ads?!?!?
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

Bill based on some of your posts here I imagine your browsing history gives the AI conniptions. I have this image of an AI sitting in the background going "oh bugger Bill is on line again, what the hell am i supposed to serve up now"

Come to think of it, most of my intellectual interests don't connect to products that would be advertised in the browser. I hadn't thought of that as a blessing ... until now
So, thanks !

Perhaps the letters were in an array with the 1st element being zero?
I won't give my possible answer as at the moment, committing to Monday (3 whole days away) seems optimistic - some disaster will have arisen by then!!!

Well, I was wrong then. I thought it was "On the shelf" given that a dish would be found on a shelf and it is an expresssion for being free of a relationship.
Shows what I know!

@Super-Lloyd
So ... you are there just a week, and this happens: EA: Gaming giant hacked and source code stolen[^]
A bit of a coincidence, isn't it?

"source code stolen"

They were probably planning on selling it in a load of microtransactions ...

the game engine Frostbite is the most valuable code they stole.
I wonder how they will actually make money off of that? Which software shop, developer(s), etc. will actually pay good money for a stolen game engine, and not get caught eventually?
I wonder if it compares to thieves stealing a famous work of art and trying to sell it, without getting pinched.
