Hard to believe that a Pihole will be an after market car upgrade at my local mechanic.
Can’t wait for someone to write a zombie flick where the plot is just long dead Industrialists rising from the grave to seek revenge against their Company Boards for destroying their brand.

I’m not sure how this would even count as innovation. Targeted ads have existed for longer than I would have liked. Fetching ads wirelessly, too.

Navigation apps like Waze behave differently if you’re moving (like displaying a “don’t type while driving” if you enter a search while moving).
None of this is novel.

Yeah wait, this would have been one of the only good uses for patent trolls. Instead of writing scifi books about the torment nexus we should have been patenting it.
