  • So I have never experienced it at all. But my wife, at least once a week will mention something random and get an ad for it. If it were just purely confirmation bias I should be seeing the same biases.

    The last one last week she mentioned checking out a certain store 10 minutes later she got around to searching for it. Google auto completed “where can I” with find (whatever store she was looking for) It was the first time she had typed it in and it was dead on what we had been talking about.

    It’s definitely not everyone and everything every time but it happens in awful lot for coincidence.





  • One possible cause of the infections is that the devices are running outdated versions that are vulnerable to exploits that remotely execute malicious code on them. Versions 7.1, 10.1, and 12.1, for example, were released in 2016, 2019, and 2022, respectively. What’s more, Doctor Web said it’s not unusual for budget device manufacturers to install older OS versions in streaming boxes and make them appear more attractive by passing them off as more up-to-date models.

    I mean there’s knowing and there’s being certain. This seems quite likely.








  • Maybe an electrode with a lot of age on it was nearly burned up and one more flip on managed to blast a little clean spot on it.

    Maybe you had a short in your ballast that got hot enough to change material properties a little and not become a short anymore.

    Maybe your ballast was loose and had an open line and it just managed to wiggle enough to work again.

    Maybe your ballast is partially shorted and ineffective at certain voltages and your temperature in the room is now cold enough to work with a lower potential ballast.

    Maybe you had a shorted cap that leaked and then burned itself the rest of the way out and is now open.
