  • It smells a lot like a honeypot to me. It doesn’t seem to have any proof that taking the exam actually converts to any benefit for real people, AND they collect TONS of data from people taking this exam.

    Their privacy terms indicates they don’t directly sell your data to 3rd parties. But they say that, if another company eventually acquires them, they inherit all the data and can basically update the privacy terms how they see fit and do whatever they want with it. They also admit to share your data to a lot of other companies and services in order to be able to do their ‘job’ whatever it might actually be, which in simple terms probably mean they share your data to commercial partners so these partners can do whatever they want with it.

    So, even if they really don’t (directly) sell your data, God knows what they and their partners will use it for.

    It seems very clear to me, though, that they will collect all your data and will not give you anything in return but false hopes.



  • If I had to guess, most of these ‘books’ are some kink bullshit. Ever since I looked for the rankings in the Kindle section, it was flooded by books with men or women stripping on the cover and some random erotic titles. Among them some rare exceptions (and most of these were some cheap self-help stuff).

    That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised this is what’s being actually affected. I can’t see the actual data or content of the article though, because it requires me to subscribe and I definitely won’t.



  • To be fair, people need to set their priorities straight. Even though these are marketed as ‘gaming’ hardware, are they actually?

    I have an RTX 4060 8GB VRAM that seems to have people hating all over it, but I don’t see the point, currently, to buy another GPU. It runs smoothly enough every single game I’ve attempted to run it, including stuff like Alan Wake 2. There’s also the fact that most AAA games that demand a strong hardware are barely worth playing.

    But as long as ‘gamers’ keep fixating on the idea that gaming can only be enjoyable when they own the best hardware to run things on 4k, 120fps, almost zero input delay, and whatever the fuck else the market sells as essential for a ‘true gaming experience’, that’s what you get: extremely overpriced hardware, that will never feel enough.
