But people advertise with Google precisely because they know the ads will be targeted at relevent people. If Google just sell loads of ad slots that just show to random users then that's just a waste of money. If I'm selling motorbike helmets I don't want to waste my money having Google show those ads to 60 year old men who only travel by bus or golfers or people who use wheelchairs.

Google won't just sell loads of ads here, they'll totally change their business model to something closer to the targetting approach.

Lens has been one of the most impressive bits of Google tech for years, but it still flies under the radar. I guess they're just going to label it 'AI' now to get people to pay attention to it.

Yeah, this means OP can use their phone constantly for 10 full hours. That doesn't seem too bad really.

I thought PS5 / XBOX versions were delayed to 2024, no?

Thanks, but I can't install into a Roku, which is the main TV I'd be using.

Weirdly, and annoyingly, I get this same thing when watching YouTube on my TV (the quantity thing, not the war propaganda stuff. Just regular ads). Whether via Roku stick, Chromecast or anything. It's sometimes an ad every 2 minutes. However watching the same thing on a laptop or my phone even without any adblock and the video will play far better. Maybe 1 ad at the halfway point and nothing else.

I don't know why the TV version of YouTube is such an arse for ads. They're not even in clean places - I get an ad mid-sentence.

Honestly, for a 20 minute video I'd be perfectly ok with a 30 second ad or so. It helps the creators and isn't that much of a pain for me. But getting adverts every 2 minutes, even if they're skippable is just a horrific experience.

A fair few, but as it's still being developed there's not many stable uses. You can check some of them out here:

The protocol (AT Protocol) is what's decentralised, which is separate(ish) to BlueSky the social network.

Shadow Weather is probably as close as you're doing to get there, I think.

Love the nominative determinism at play here for Mr Bankman-Fried.

Cool, thanks for the valuable insights.

It's not so much that it was difficult, it's that it felt a bit more unfair than BotW. It seemed like the regular grunts (Bokoblins etc.) were far tougher than they needed to be. Every single encampment of them would have a few silver ones and they're just damage sponges - you just get through all your weapons just clearing out a small camp. Even the master sword felt like it used up a whole charge just taking out a few of those buggers. I shouldn't have to completely rebuild and restock my weapon arsenal every time I clear out a small camp of fodder.

The game itself didn't really feel much harder than BotW though. It's just all these little encounters that annoyed me.
