uMatrix has been preventing me from accessing TechCrunch for some time now since they now perform a full redirect to advertising.com. I can only assume it's because they want me to consent to a long list of privacy checkboxes or someth

Extrapolation: "Account" here means the Facebook account created by you and visible to you; probably distinct from "Profile" in their lingo, which is all the data they have on you, of which most is invisible to you. If t

Great story. I seem to keep finding cash. The first time when I was 9, a couple hundred between racks in a department store. I showed my mom and we brought it to Lost&Found. A year later after nobody had claimed the money, they called u

I once posted a negative review on their Basics HDMI cable, which had absymal shielding. It went "under review" immediately, and a few days later the review just silently vanished without a trace.

Good idea. I can see the potential this can have for motivation... often enough you (I) just need a tiny nudge to push you over the edge and just do it. This sounds like it could do just that. Tiny offtopic nitpick: In the title and on the
