Re: Media Consumption & Cost

Do you not use AdBlock? Do people not use AdBlock? I can't imagine a world without AdBlock. I used to use AdBlock but the last time I had to reset MacOS I forgot about it... also I don't think you can use AdBlock when using YouTube with a TV or my wife's iPad or my phone's YouTube app.... BTW I fin...

Do you eat while on the computer?

I usually eat my meals in front of my computer and sometimes watching the TV. When I visit my parents they make me eat with them at the dinner table.
My wife usually eats her meals while watching TV but sometimes eats them in bed watching videos on her iPad.
