Facebook is going to start forcing ads to appear for all users of its desktop website, even if they use ad-blocking software. The social network said on Tuesday that it will change the way advertising is loaded into its desktop website to make its ad units considerably more difficult for ad blockers to detect. “Facebook is ad-supported. Ads are a part of the Facebook experience; they’re not a tack on,” said Andrew “Boz” Bosworth, vice president of Facebook’s ads and business platform.

    I would much rather read someone relating his experiences on the job or hobby than spending endless hours watching some grown man kick some ball on TV.

    eevblog.com [eevblog.com]? The bloke also has a channel on youtube [youtube.com], seems quite popular. Give it a try, even only for the fun of hearing some modern Aussie accent.

    50 years of experience in electronics, since the vacuum tube days, and my experiences seem to benefit no-one but me.

    Components are quite cheap. Why don't you design some gadgets, just for the fun? Maybe it will lead you somewhere.

    I mean, look... instructables.com and perhaps others. There are lotsa hobby makers in this world, small and perhaps basic projects can be fun and sometimes useful.
