It gets worse. Last Monday I googled refurbished desktops, and individual desktop components with the thought of assembling yet another machine for myself. I didn’t buy anything and didn’t identify myself at any of the sites I looked at (yeah, I know, don’t tell me, I know, that my machine did identify itself everywhere.) On Tuesday, on the right of my Facebook page appeared ads for... refurbished desktops, and individual desktop components. How, why, WTF? Do the FTC and the Dept. of Commerce know too that I’m looking or was looking at... refurbished desktops, and individual desktop components ? Who doesn’t know yet?
I know. I have typed a WORD in a Facebook comment to a friend, and the ads start appearing.
