batirch | 3 years ago | on: I visited a friend who is watching Breaking Bad. Now clips appear on my YouTube?

This happened to me in 2018. We were chatting with an acquaintance about horse racing. I never showed an interest in that topic or visited the location. Just after 5 mins he left I received an ad from Instagram on Horse Racing competition which was happening in the same city.

My only assumption was Instagram/Facebook was somehow listening our conversation.

batirch | 4 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do you still use Clubhouse app?

Hey Thomas. I am that one person in the room.

About the topic, glad that Clubhouse hype is over. There are niche communities around the world who are still actively using it.

Also people who don't use Discord or other gaming apps are using it for live game chatting.

HackerNews is my go to place for any type of tech question. Recently, I had RSI because of related sports injury. I learnt VIM shortcuts, bought Microsoft Egonomic keyboard and logi mouse based on suggestions here. I am learning tones of stuff on technologies that I use daily. I really wish I had like-minded friends in real life who are hackernews fans. Hit me up if anyone currently in or visits Dubai, UAE.

I used Haven in last summer when I went away for holiday. Set up with my old phone.

It was sending pictures even when light levels of the room changed.

I really liked the app and was sorry when I received the email about closure. Glad it is back!
