What makes you think that spreading through out the universe is against nature?
You misunderstood me. I'm saying that we need to correct the issue(s) that cause(s) humanity to act against Nature, prior to spreading humanity out there into the universe. Because all that'll happen is a repeat of the current issues here.
If you're already dissatisfied with the technology that tells you to "turn here" or "turn in 400 feet", you'll surely be dissatisfied with a fast-walk-through of an out-of-date part of google's maps. What ever happened to the good ole days of asking for directions? Like, if google maps tells you "turn left in 400 feet" you could simply ask someone near you, "How far is 400 feet?":p
The problem that humanity has is it's inability to act in accordance with Nature, and Nature's left-hook as a result. Solve that first before spreading it throughout the universe. Thanks.
Windows 95 has limited technology. This limited technology is a double-edge(d) sword. It limits the user, and the potential attacks against it. If all you want to do is play old games and use it for various other retro-actions, then just leave it off of the internet and enjoy.
I promise I'm not trying to be a dick here. How do you feel about this
You're walking in the mall, passing a shoe store. From inside the shoe store, out comes a man that begins to follow you. You go into a candle store, and when you come out, that guy approaches and says, "I'm from $SHOE_STORE and I see you like things that smell good. I'd like to tell you about our fantastic new shoe-inserts that remove foul odors..." He does this at each store that you enter and exit. Now imagine that it's not just one man, but several.
Are you cool with that too? Because, to me, it's exactly the same as tracking users on the internet.
Wow, so you enjoy watching TV shows and the commercials. I'm truly envious. But the more I think over this concept, the more it sounds like the beginnings of a hoarder.
Tracking makes the internet more responsive to my desires.
I don't even understand what this means. Even pornhub doesn't do this.
I see more relevant search results
I'm not sure this is true, but you're not sure it is either.
Inputs autofill more accurately
I feel like you're just reaching for straws here.
When I see ads they are more likely to be for something I want
OK, this one actually made me laugh. You don't know what you want already?
When they see I looked at a product, but didn't buy, I may get a better offer later.
I wonder why you think this way. Is it based on experience?
Downsides: Nothing that I can see
How about this for a silly dream...
I'm building a greenhouse to temporarily cover some tropical trees that I grow at home, and I'm doing it on the cheap, using PVC pipes and plastic. I want to get some really good tape that'll be strong for the whole winter, through rain and all. I search all sorts of tape and find that gorilla tape is the best for my use. Right after I get finished with the internet/computer, my 8yo daughter, who does gymnastics and is trying to be able to do a full split, wants to look up 'how to get your splits' videos on youtube. So now to whatever tracking engine that's been tracking me, the fact that I'm looking for strong tape, and videos of little girls spreading their legs makes me look like a possible pedophile. Now consider that I run a daycare.
If my silly example of the possibility of things going wrong seem silly to you, that's probably because the whole idea of tracking users is silly.
It could have evolved into something workable, possibly with legislative backing.
No one wants to be tracked, so this setting is asinine. If we were going to address this legislatively, then it'd more than likely be all or none (tracking is legal or illegal).
Just do what you're supposed to do on the internet (don't use it to do illegal stuff), and use an ad-blocker. If you're being tracked, it won't bother you.
I think that everyone has a grand understanding of the universe in some meaningful and useful way. I mean, even something as simple of "ownership" applies here. For instance, the bees that are all flying around your yard, on your flowers... they feel that they're in their yard, on their flowers. And according to Nature, they're correct, and so are you.
What one may understand as (what we call) mathematics, another may understand as color. Take the example of butterfly wings. The color from their wings comes from their structure, and not a pigment.
If I throw you an apple, and you reach out and catch it, we'll all be extremely unimpressed. And yet, if someone sitting there watching, pulled out paper and pensil and started writing out the formulas that we each just unconsciously used to do all of the physical activity that we did while tossing and catching an apple, it'd look quite complex.
For whatever reason, mathematics is universal, built-in to everything within the universe. Each species has it's own method of going about life. It's literally impossible for any species to go about life without acting in some mathematical way.
That we are able to detect that the bees are doing math, means that we've only caught onto a way that they do it, that we can recognize. Who's to say that they're not preforming mathematics at levels that we're unable to detect?
I could have, and almost did, but it was easier to just copy/paste the links from the site from which I found them. I liked how the linked pages gave screenshots and explanation about the product. Didn't think anyone would have been upset about information.
They're not training this software with tales-of-the-rich-and-famous. They're training it with the likes of everyday people that make up a majority of petty criminals.
The big-time criminals are all safe from such in their elected positions.
China, as a country, has the ability to make it's own laws. These laws can be based on...whatever the people in that society allow. In this case, the country (China) has decided that privacy for it's citizens allows for to much riffraff, and it's (privacy is) basically illegal from the standpoint of internet access. So in order for Apple to do business in this country, they have to make adjustments for their laws.
Facebook's product is the private data of anyone that uses Facebook. They just tricked a lot of folks into installing spyware in the form of a VPN app. So now they have even more data that they wouldn't have otherwise gotten from these users' regular use of Facebook.
So why would it be a surprise that their stock just went up?
All of the consoles that you mentioned worked by mashing the game directly into the motherboard. In fact, if I recall correctly, none of those consoles that you mentioned would boot without a game in the slot.
XBox Live is a BS fee that you pay in order to play online with others. So as long as your game doesn't require you to be online to play it, then yeah, you could have played it. The problem is that most games today require online activity in some way, and that made it impossible for many.
My thoughts were that MS was experiencing some sort of DoS attack, because if you kept trying to get in, eventually it'd let you. And once you were in, game-play was fine, from what I saw.

I don't get it, does the google maps app, that reads aloud the directions in real-time, not do the same thing when walking around?

I think you're confusing "tracking", with "ads". Those two aren't the same thing.
Thank you! I hope there are many more developers like you out there that keep the users privacy in mind.

Coke and meth are 2 different drugs. Fentanyl is added to heroin to make it more seem more potent.
Oh yeah? What's that, DickBreath?

So why would it be a surprise that their stock just went up?
They're certainly a technology company. It's just that the technology isn't to be used for their users, but rather on their users.

Oh wait they paid people to use the VPN...
No, they paid people to install spyware on their device(s). Facebook paid them, in order to fend off the lawsuits that were sure to pop up later.
So congratulations, you sold almost all of your personal info for $20/month. But hey, you can tell your friends that you work for Facebook.
