    I don’t post my results on Twitter (only through work!Slack where I first learned about it). But just because:

  • “Google to free G Suite users: Pay up or lose your account”

    Welp. 😶 I did some looking up and found that Apple has a similar service (Custom Email Domain) that I can just use since I’m already paying for a iCloud+ subscription.

    Sidenote:

    • From the article: “Starting May 1, Google will try to automatically “upgrade” users to a paid account if it has available billing information.”
    • People in the comments are saying that they did not get an email from Google about this (and neither did I).

    🤨

    (I don’t have any sort of billing associated with my Google Workspace account, but I wonder how many G Workspace folks are going to find out on July 1, that they were automatically subscribed to Google Workspace’s paid tier.)

  • “Some Roku smart TVs are now showing banner ads over live TV”

    In addition to boycotting the companies that do stuff like this, also think about boycotting the companies whose products are being advertised like this. Show them that this is NOT an effective marketing strategy.

    Case in point: don’t buy from Sleep Number 😤👎

    [EDIT] Wanna add that I’m ok with ads in general. But time and place. Do a commercial break. Don’t put a banner over the thing I’m watching!!! Put an ad over another ad. I don’t care.
