Moral of the story: do not trust anything that can update itself for no reason.
Yep. That is the best reaction to reengagement notifications.
If you want the actual reason, this is called reengagement, and its purpose is to get users to use the app again, meaning more ad revenue. Subscription apps don’t do this because they want the user to forget about the app so they get paid while providing no service. But ad driven apps only get paid when you see an ad on the app, so they’ll send these reengagement notifications. Social media apps will use something like “This post picked for you”, or “This many people viewed your profile”. Same thing.
Or maybe just better at sneaking around.
The teenagers aren’t having enough sex?
This is a new one.
“It’s a gift, mom! I thought you’d like it!”
Humans have an innate urge to pet the doggos. Every time I see a dog in a video game I try to pet it. There’s even a catalog of games with pettable dogs: https://www.canyoupetthedog.com/
This is a stupid idea and it will never work.
I’d press it as long as I get to keep my parts down there. I’m way more attached to my anatomy than my gender.
So no change at all for our uncracked sisters.

I run a quite powerful server rack for my business (two servers with 64 core Threadrippers, redundant power supplies, nice SSDs, etc) and it puts out some heat, but not even as much as my gaming PC. The CPUs are usually sitting near 2% utilization, so it’s barely drawing any wattage, and thus, barely putting out heat. So it really depends on how much the server is doing that will determine the heat it outputs. You can build a 1000 watt server, but if it’s only drawing 50 watts, it won’t be generating much heat.
That being said, if the alternative is an electric heater, then using a server for something productive like BOINC or Folding at Home is a better use of your electricity, and may produce the heat you’re looking for. And for your use case, an older (and thus cheaper) CPU would probably suit you, so win-win.
5·1 year agoWell that would only be shooting themselves in the foot.
Yeah, I think you’re right. TIL. :)
