Don’t think I need to summarize this one. This is bad news for everyone.

        Ecological collapse is imminent; please buy more products

        If there is a better epitaph for Humanity, I have not heard it.

        Can we Laser etch this quote onto the moon’s surface before the last human dies please?

        The alien visitors to this planet will sort through the ruins of its extinct species and will be told to buy more things. By computers still running, still marketing.

        They will shrug their shoulders and wonder what that means, and if it helped the inhabitants.

          Get a supported version of Linux on there, give it a static IP on your LAN, install Pihole by following the guide at

          https://pi-hole.net/

          Update the DNS ip that your router gives out to the IP of your netbook, and voilà, most ads can’t load any more.

          Even mobile phone apps that have ads won’t show the ads when you’re connected through your home network.
