Wow, seems the people farmers of surveillance capitalism have fully embraced scammer techniques now.
Ran into this new flow on a number of sites just now (Indiewire, Variety, and RollingStone) delivered by the colossal douchebags at html-load.com who run report-error.com.
They make it look like a browser error has occurred and then tell you to disable your tracker/ad blocker.
To the asshole developers who built this for them instead of refusing: Fuck you for making everyone…

Southern California has an unlikely AI mecca: the very industrial Vernon
Vernon has become an essential location for artificial intelligence data centers.

Pretty much all the main culprits here are vehicles being dumped in Australia because Australia lacks international standard emission control. My last two vans were European diesels which use AdBlue to reduce pollutants .

Real-world testing shows which vehicle models emit more of the deadly pollutant NOx
New rules around NOx, the most deadly form of vehicle pollution, come into force today, as testing reveals which popular models are pumping out more than others.      

Disable my ad blocker to see your article? Nope. How about generic ads? ALSO HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW I AM RUNNING AN AD BLOCKER? Maybe because you are running a F*****g invasive script?
Guess what, I don't go to your site. There are sites with ads that don't ask me that and guess what? I go to their sites. Sometimes I even click on the ad as I find it interesting.
Also, for a couple of true journalists I also pay a bit so that they can keep on writing.

Wow, Snopes added an adblock detector which actually adwalls the content.
Sorry but web ads are far too intrusive/insecure and I don't think Snopes is worth the $3/month minimal subscription.
Guess I'll remove their RSS then

So my car has been complaining I should put some exhaust emissions neutralizing fluid in it. A thing they call AdBlue I believe.
Bought a big 10l drum of the stuff ready to fill up.
But when I look at where I expect to find the hole for filling it, I just find a capped off tube and a warning sticker "See the GM Citreon Berlingo Blaze manual" for the adblue refilling hole.
Only user manual I have is the one telling me to expect it there.
The car was converted for wheelchair access at some point in its life. I think they are referring to the wheelchair-adaption manual, which the seller did not give me.
🤔
Have been looking around the car as much as I can for a couple of hours this morning to no avail. Where have they hidden this hole to fill up adblue?
Maybe it's under the engine or something now and you have to put the thing on stilts to find it?
🤷
Asked my mechanic about it and he says to bring it in on Monday. Gonna be a pain if I have to rip up the floorboards or something every year to refill that.
