I saw this article yesterday - Intel is not doing very well, to the point where they may even stop manufacturing chips:

They'll still "make" chips, but I imagine they might not own (as many) fabs any more.

It looks like the article is much shorter than it appeared when I saw it yesterday.. I recall reading in the article yesterday that Intel would just design chips, similar to what ARM does, and not manufacture chips. But maybe that's not the case.

Somehow I was able to read the full article the first time I saw it, but now I see that it wants me to log in, which will probably show the full article.

Similarly, it wanted me to disable my adblocker. I closed the browser, and didn't read the article. ;)

I run into the same thing. If I feel like I have to read the

close the window on it.

Never before has one needed to disable an ad blocker to read an article/webpage, until recently. If they want to shove that many cookies down our throats, or bombard us with advertisements, or force one to give up their location, I'm not interested enough to use their site.

usually the news sites do it.
i just turn off javascript with an addon and it allows it.
usually it's not even worth reading.

Agreed. If I could pick the ads for products that I wanted or
needed, it'd be a different story.

Over 20 years ago, before my wife passed away, I got items
addressed to me in the mail and email for feminine hygiene
products. Being a smart-aleck, I said "maybe I should check
into this". She growled, "Don't even think about it!!". <G>

I got the same reaction when we went to get our flu shots.
They have since modified the consent form to note "WOMEN ONLY"
for the question about being pregnant. <G>

I wonder if the trick to get around paywalls (open developer tools
console, run the command "DISABLE JAVASCRIPT" then reloading the page)
would work with ad blocker popups?

My SPAM folder tells a story. First I got emails from match.com, trying
to find a partner to date. Then, it was eHarmony, deciding I was ready
to settle down with the love of my life.

A few years later, I was bombarded with Ashley Madison ads, apparently
thinking my eHarmony soulmate and I were unhappy together.

Then came MyTime, a dating site for 50+ singles "looking for a little
fun".

Now, they've collectively given up on my love life. I get SPAM emails
from GolfMates trying to find quality golf foursomes.

You don't always have to do anything. One time I did an experiment and created a new email account but didn't use it for anything. After a little while, that email address started receiving spam.

Possibly. However, IMO, their target audience shouldn't have to do a damn thing in order to read what they have to say.

I never remarried after my wife passed away 18 1/2 years ago. At
this stage of life, so many folks have "too much baggage"..whether
physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc. -- or they or
their kids are in trouble with the law, their kids treat their
parents like dirt, etc., and I don't want or need that drama in my
life.

I get a ton of those messages on Facebook, but I basically ignore them...because I no longer drive or have a car, due to vision issues
(dry corneas causing blurred vision without warning), although I'm
in no danger of going blind.

I'm good friends with a female about 10 years younger than me,
and while she has a bunch of issues (don't we all??!!), I've been
"her shoulder to cry on"...sharing jokes and memes with her (some
can be rather raunchy), but it gets her out of her depression and
funk, and makes her laugh.

While she is "engaged" to him, there are "issues", and we'll
leave it at that. I did take the 3 of us to an area restaurant
just before Christmas last year, and I had a wardrobe malfunction
when my belt broke when I went to give her a hug...and my pants
fell. I was so embarrassed, but she was laughing so hard, that
she nearly peed on herself. I treated the 3 of us to lunch...
and afterwards, she gave me several kisses with the hugs, and
said "Thank you so much for giving me a wonderful day!!". That
made me happy, as I know it made her happy.

I think of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, with one of his "dummies"
(the technical term is "ventriloquial figure"), Walter...who
describes "oral sex" where his wife shouts "Screw You!!", and he
retorts "Bite Me!!". <G>

Yeah, I would think those are rare.

I get SPAM in my SPAM box but it is usually extremely generic and certainly not from big Internet services I didn't sign up to. ANd if you sign up to a newsletter, it is not spam.

There is a lot of carpet bombing spam, but something specific such as dating sites contacts seem too targetted.

i actually had some crazy bbs guy try to get me in trouble with my isp. he signed up for a newsletter where like 4x a year i'd keep people updated on
the services i ran and tell them about any new bbs stuff i'd find. he's the only guy that signed up

he reported me (i ran all my stuff on a hosted server so that was wrong) to
my actual isp and they said that i was totally in the right and legit. also they said i could run a web or whatever on my isp.

he's the guy that runs foxriver.net he also used to have a thing on there
that if you sent him unsollicited email you owe him money.

really a nut.
