It’s not getting more expensive when you account for capability. It’s getting much much cheaper rather

It doesn't exist in a vacuum tho.

One must compare to other models such as Geminis ad GPTs.

iOS has had support for ad blockers since 2015. I never ever see ads on iOS Safari and have not for many years.

What do you suggest I setup for my wife's iPhone?

And does it block ads on Apple News?

Apple News+ is so bad, it's literally unusable. Unfortunately I can't unsubscribe without paying MORE. I use all the other services on a family subscription except this one, but if I remove it the total cost goes up. I hate that I'm supporting something that is this bad, and the quantity of ads is the main factor - not only am I a paying customer, it's still filled with the worst kind of promoted 'content'.

That's because they know that in Apple News+ you are the product and their profit lowers if you block their ads by disabling the app.

To be fair, it is not just Apple. Scams are rampant regardless of the channel serving the ads.
hu3 · 2 days ago
The point is that Apple marketing positions themselves as premium. So most people generally expect better than "the norm" from them.

People use to say "I feel safe giving an iPhone to grandma because the wallet garden protects her".

Well that argument falls short when Apple allows Taboola of all scam ad networks the be present in their news app.

Or when app store search results is filled with misleading ads.

>as they take peoples’ money then shut down

That's not what these sites do. They are dropshipping sites. Make up a random expensive price and then say it is on sale at a price where you still make profit. Some make the shipping more expensive so they advertised price of the item is even lower or even free.

No, some of them DO take people's money and shutdown without delivering anything or do deliver some fake crap that buys them just enough time to function a little longer before shutting down again.

Taboola is a scammers paradise and I'm surprised Apple touched them with a 10 foot pole even.

It's about queueing work, not running all these queries at the same time. You can run pgbouncer or you can have a pool on your backend. Having more connections won't make it go faster, so that really seems like a low-priority thing for postgres to me. Even if you integrated pooling into postgres the overhead of auth would be still taking time for small queries anyway.
hu3 · 3 days ago
that's too simplistic.

there are many reasons to need something like pgbouncer.

1) not all workloads lend themselves to backend pools

2) not all backends can afford pooling

3) you don't always control your backend

4) you might have a lot of different backends connecting to the database. it's much simpler to just tell them to connect to pgbouncer.

5) you don't want to trust backend team to not bring postgresql down with many simultaneolus connections.

6) backend pools often misbehave

people don't wake up one day and just add another cog to their infrastructure randomly.

I found this interesting because I foresee China catching up rapidly just like they did with cars.

You can't process significantly many more queries than you've got CPU cores at the same time anyway.
hu3 · 3 days ago
I disagree. If that was the case, pgBouncer wouldn't need to exist.

The problem of resource usage for many connections is real.

What would you say some of these pros and cons would be? I don’t think anyone really speaks about the possible negatives of having strong mental imagery would be
