This happened to me in 2018. We were chatting with an acquaintance about horse racing. I never showed an interest in that topic or visited the location. Just after 5 mins he left I received an ad from Instagram on Horse Racing competition which was happening in the same city.
My only assumption was Instagram/Facebook was somehow listening our conversation.
HackerNews is my go to place for any type of tech question. Recently, I had RSI because of related sports injury. I learnt VIM shortcuts, bought Microsoft Egonomic keyboard and logi mouse based on suggestions here.
I am learning tones of stuff on technologies that I use daily.
I really wish I had like-minded friends in real life who are hackernews fans. Hit me up if anyone currently in or visits Dubai, UAE.
This is great news. I am glad that disasters are pushing humans to try new methods.
Problems that happen with such ways could be resolved with practice.
