In 1998, two Stanford students published "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine," in which they wrote, "Advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of consumers."

The co-authors were Lawrence Page and Sergey Brin, and the "large-scale hypertextual web search-engine" they were describing was their new project, which they called "#Google." They were 100% correct - prescient, even! 3/
Back in 2019, I wrote a case-study on ad- and tracker-blocking as part of @EFF's series on #AdversarialInteroperability (AKA #CompetitiveCompatibility or #Comcom).

My point was that the ad-tech industry says that it tracks you as part of a bargain: you trade away your privacy and get media in exchange, but that this was a bizarre kind of take-it-or-leave-it form of bargaining. 2/
The ad-tech deal boils down to this: "Just by following a link to this page, you have agreed to, well, *anything* we feel like doing. We can collect your data, sell it, merge it with other data, share it, mine it, exploit it. Forever."

My pi is burning up... need some active cooling solution recommendation!
Currently, it's in open top case allowing natural air convection with aluminum heat sinks on SoC and and the network unit.
Room temp easily reaches 35°-40°C. Anything better than a simple fan?

Update 1/n: Messed up somewhat big today. Tried to remove the glued aluminum heat sink to apply heat sink paste. While doing so, applied intensive pressure causing the sink to come-off rather strongly and hit some HDMI ICs.
Pi works but HDMI display anymore.
