in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

Does advertising really work?
Everyone I know mutes TV ads when they come on.
Everyone I know uses ad-blockers online.
I avoid sites that say 'You can't view this site unless you turn off your ad-blocker.'
And some ads are so annoying &/or repetitive that I refuse to use the product on principle.

I have made an M42 camera. Very literally, it has no film or sensor.
It's as a testing buck, to represent the front half of an SLR camera for working on sensor assembles for the back.

anyway good advice for everyone out there anywhere at all: there is no stronger position in the world than the one in which you are willing to walk away rather than be dealt a bad deal.
always be willing to walk away.
