Only buy a magnetic keyboard for gaming

I tried reading this article with genuine interest but the page crashed for me on iOS :(

This seems to be happening more often in the back half of 2024. IGN crashes nearly every page view for me these days.

This is because sites like this shove ads in every conceivable whitespace on the page, so you have ads/videos/images and JavaScript loading and executing from all corners of the internet. What was once a page that was supposed to give you text and images is now executing all kinds of shit you don't want or need, burning up your CPU and battery and giving you a truly horrible, janky experience even on newer phones or desktops. If you visit these sites on older phones, it's truly excruciating. All for some text of what could have been a comment on a site like this, or a blog post on a statically-hosted site which costs next to nothing to run.

Here was my experience on an M1 Mac Mini with 16GB of RAM, in Safari with no extensions:

This is why I have absolutely zero qualms with using an ad blocker to the fullest extent I can.

I hate what these people do to computers.

I love that you captured this!

Ironically as I watched your video on Imgur, a full screen ad popped up over top of it on Imgur itself :,(

The irony of uploading it to imgur is not lost on me :)

I could host videos myself if I still had a 2 gigabit connection but that was left behind in my most recent move.
