  • There was an update to a word game on my phone, so they made me choose between accepting everything or clicking through 81 vendors (and there was no 'reject all' button). I went with the latter, and every single vendor's 'consent' was automatically off and 'legitimate interest' on. That made me think: "what's included in the legitimate interest bit?". There was a question mark circle next to it, so I clicked:

    How does legitimate interest work?

    Some vendors are not asking for your consent, but are using your personal data on the basis of their legitimate interest.

    Maybe I got it wrong, but to me it felt like "yeah, we will just simply do some things regardless and slap a 'legitimate interest' sticker on it, even though it falls under the same 'we want to sell your data' category."

  • How many do you want?

    Jokes aside, I used to pay for Netflix and Amazon prime. I quit Netflix ~2 years ago when they raised prices outrageously. I'm still on Amazon prime, though, and I would have quit if it wasn't for my brother who is still using it as a linked account. Especially after I've seen the Oobah Butler video (not like I didn't hear/read about them before, but all those in one video were just enough).

  • I've been renting for the past 7 years. You can buy flat, white Ethernet cables that can be fixed to the walls with sticky clips. It's less ugly than the round cables and while obviously not earthquake proof, the clips do a fairly good job at keeping the cable in the corner.
