When you want to turn on a tv series in Australia you have to wait and be told to go apply waiting security updates to your devices. π―π―οΏΌππ»
@martintheg itβs just an ad that links to an info site and the ad is very simple to understand. The message is legit one I wish I could get into every household after responding to horrible incidents every week.
I've spent enough time in doctors' waiting rooms and hospitals caring for family in recent months that I have been generously gifted a reminder of the horrors of TV ads (just in time for election season) and daytime television.
Iβm absolutely dying, I posted a totally benign ad screenshot from a good PSA on cybersecurity - and everyone is freaking about high tech state spy stuff when Iβm actually being as analog as a person can be since they killed analog OTA. I even took a picture of the screen with my phone.
Setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) is one thing you can do in just 10 minutes to make yourself more cyber secure.

huh, I thought youβd taken a picture of βPicture of the same.β Snark about alt text aside, I find that worries of βmany statesβ correlate with more individualistic societies. Iβm used to believing The State has a responsibility to educate The People, while a lot of your followers likely believe the scope of its responsibility is much smaller. Or in other words, some people value their absolute Freedom (TM) to be scammed and hacked.
at least I am not used to a count-down in the top right corner in sequential TV. We (Germany) rarely have a countdown in the bottom, when a single ad is shown. Online services on the other hand⦠I couldn't tell from the picture, but buying advertisement-slots isn't really spying, is it?
I feel your pain--reminds me of when I used to regularly get pages of comments arguing whether or not my downstairs floor qualifies as a "partial basement" on detailed technical explanations and reviews of multi AP Wi-Fi gear.
I'm at a hotel for a little science fiction convention this weekend and I poked around with the hotel TV. Part of me remembered this ad-TV dynamic that I grew up with, and part of me was appalled. I could feel myself getting stupider with the ads running. And of course I have a limited attention span if I never get more than five minutes of programming between ads.
Since I moved out from my parent's home, I don't really watch broadcast TV anymore. The few times I wanted to watch, say, a crime series broadcast on TV at the same time as others to (online) chat about it, I used the (internet) live stream.
I just watched a few episodes of a show on Amazon Prime with my daughter. It was so bad with ads it was like watching broadcast TV, and made me think of the old promise of cable TV ("we're paying a subscription so there won't be commercials!"). We just keep underestimating greed.

Itβs an ad for a legitimate government public cybersecurity campaign. The campaign is good. It endorses MFA and security patches.

I have a dumb tv for everyone asking. Itβs a Kogan monitor. Thereβs coax running to my antenna above it in the photo.
