  • No new impact, because the ruling is about online marketplaces, which pre-scan / moderate every new posting anyway due to multiple legal obligations that exist already. TechCrunch analysis says that the ruling is too broad and applies out of this context but I don’t see it there and the case they’re making isn’t very solid. I think they recognise this as an attack on how ad industry works because checking if the ad is legal before allowing it would be a huge boon to societies worldwide, but also an enormous cost for companies selling ad-spaces.






















  • YouGov and ESA conducted a 5-minute online survey in the U.S. from September 26-30, 2025 among 1,912 respondents ages 5-65 recruited from YouGov’s proprietary online panel. Data is weighted to be representative of the overall U.S. population in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, education and census region. Respondents ages 5 to 17 were asked to complete the survey under the supervision of a parent.

    If you want to know proprietary information that provides competitive advantage like weights applied then you might be out of luck, however publishing garbage would destroy YouGov reputation quick and so they don’t have that much incentive to fudge numbers.








  • I have an LG OLED B2 for a couple of reasons that remain true of LG OLEDs and new TVs:

    • LG has the best OLED longevity results on Rtings tests
    • supports Dolby Vision (Samsung pushes some „standards” nobody is using)
    • VRR / FreeSync (if you play video games this is a must have on a modern TV)
    • jailbroke mine to add ambient lighting via HyperHDR, ESP controller and a LED strip (total cost of something like $40)

    My one other observation is that new TVs are marketed on how bright they get. It’s like Gillette razors with 20 blades but replace that with 3000 nits. I don’t have my B2 nowhere near max brightness because it’s eye-searing and reduces OLED lifespan. Brightness this high only makes sense if you’re going to watch your TV in the middle of an electronics store showroom.

    As to UI, ads and spyware. Every vendor UI is horrible and will push ads on you eventually - don’t connect it to network, get an Apple TV set top box, set TV to use that input at start and never worry about that. I’m still using my 2017 one and while showing age it’s still faster than every TV I’ve seen.
