Now that Black Friday is gone...almost.
Did you get a bargain?
If you did, I trust that it is something that you'll actually use.
Every year, I see people pick up 'bargains' that they never use, meaning they wasted their money and didn't get a bargain.
I did get a couple of bargains.
Lifetime deals for products I'm already paying a subscription for.
I topped up the credit for another one, so I probably won't need to spend any money on that for several years.
Mostly, though, there was nothing on offer that caught my eye.
Change of subject:
Have you noticed the deterioration in the quality of Google searches?
It's getting so bad that I can't get a decent response anymore.
They throw up the same pages, sometimes in a different order, for each search around the same subject line.
There are a couple of sites that give better results.
DuckDuckgo works reasonably because they don't throw in all the paid results and Reddit.
If I'm searching for how to do something, YouTube supplies the answers more often than not, but I spend way too much time down the Y.T. rabbit hole.
If Google can sort out their algorithm, then it may improve, but I understand that there is so much code written by so many people that no one really knows what it does any more.
I guess what we are seeing here is another massive failure of A.I.
It reminds me of Microsoft Vista.
That got so unwieldy that they scrapped the code completely and wrote Windows 7 from scratch.
Maybe that's what Google will have to do.

P.S. One of the BF deals I grabbed was Grammarly.
They are running a 55% discount on their premium level.

Click the link above, then click the button at the top of the page to claim your discount.
I use Grammarly daily and have a Pro account, but I grabbed this deal because it's half what I currently pay.
I'd be stupid not to take advantage of that offer.
