It’s like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.
Hi, I’m the president of life lock and you can’t hack my identi… Hold on, wait! Let me finish this commercial first!
Quality old school reference.
Omg I tried to google that to see how old it was and there are so many NEW lifelock data breaches! I can’t even find that original shitshow.
I legit feel really bad for all the people who got scammed by major companies “anti-“ programs… They don’t know better and our laws should be so much more robust.

Wait did that dude end up getting hacked? Don’t remember that.
Idk about hacked but his identity was stolen at least 13 times as of 2018, and the company was fined for deceptive advertising practices and basically running a scam.
I’m not sure about how LifeLock operated in the past, but the second they became associated with Norton they became irrelevant. Norton has yet to produce a worthwhile product in any category. At best their services are useless and at worst actively harmful to consumers.
I’m not sure about how LifeLock operated in the past
Merging with Norton was a lateral move, if that helps. And I agree with everything you said about Norton.
Sometimes it be your own CEO too. Right, Elon? LOL
It’s like the Titanic, it was doomed the moment someone called it unsinkable. No self-respecting universe would let that slide.
Fun fact: The “unsinkable” actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)
Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.
Well, and they ran out of the good bolts halfway through building the titanic and they had to use cheaper ones. And the captain thought it was fine to just barrel full steam ahead in a the foggy and icy north Atlantic.
That’s some chaotic good shit
I remember someone got into such a billboard and replaced the ad with IKEA-style instructions on how to replace the ads in those billboards.
Ooh I’ve also seen that, it was surprisingly interesting to watch
Really ? got a link ? I wonder if the instructions work in any country (I assume the billboards are built differently)
Me too, I need to see this, too!
You block origin
Haha now if only they could do it in Times Square. That place is a giant eyesore.
I used to feel bad about using an ad blocker on the internet, but not anymore. I utilize PiHole and uBO for ad blocking now because the internet has literally become unusable without it. I never minded seeing ads, but they have gotten so brazen about it now with the most obnoxious ads possible. When the ads start negatively affecting the usability of the Internet there’s a serious problem. So they can either use respectful ad placement and get some revenue from me, or they can have them blocked and get zero revenue. It’s their choice.
Wasn’t there once a Spotify ad for their own premium service where all they did was play annoying dissonant sounds and then was like “you wouldn’t have had to hear that if you had premium.”
I wouldn’t have had to hear that if I didn’t use your fucking app and torrented all my music, how bout that?
(I never got an ad like this back when I still used Spotify so I can’t confirm if this is real or not. Anyone else know what I’m talking about and can confirm if this was ever a thing?)
Gus got it right, they had the audio up like 9dB over the music (thats 3 fold audio power/volume for the non-nerds)
That’s why I like that my adblocker has an option to let respectful ads through.
Which adblocker do you use?
AdBlock, on Chrome. You have to opt in to “Allow some non-intrusive advertising.”
Technically they didn’t block it enough, you can still read the company name. Advertisers will love it even more because it will circulate social media. I hate this game.

Taunting the general public. Always a winning move.

Now someone needs to make AR glasses with the sole purpose to detect and blur out ads
