I do want them to have money to keep the sites up after all. Then I find myself browsing without an ad blocker, and get reminders of why I don’t:
Some malicious ad (I was checking a notification on an old Deadspin article: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) redirected me to this. Note the speaker in the tab, this page was emitting an extremely loud high pitched tone. This is not directly their fault (ad networks are amazing complex), but other large sites manage to avoid this sort of shit (at least the vast majority of the time). In any event, I guess Univsion will have to be satisfied with me buying stuff I don’t need via Kinja Deals.
For the curious, my system files have of course not been deleted (my Bluetooth adapter stopped working last week, but that’s an unrelated piece of weirdness).

Yeeeeah, that stuff’s not supposed to happen. Report it to the Kinja overlords. I think
this
might be the contact form for stuff gone wrong.
I think this is a known issue, but I’ll forward it on just in case.

I love that second one. “Your Windows 10 is damaged and irrelevant.”
Maybe I’ll get one which says “Your Windows 10 is nugatory and fatuous.”

There’s one of those bastards that comes up every now and again which, on top of blasting
out of your speakers
a
sort of
robotic voice claiming to be a Message
from Microsoft,
bellowing that Y
our S
ystem is Infected! with a Virus!!
which can S
t
ea
l your
Passwords and Credit Card Numbers!!!1
!
, it also pops up a little dialog box, so you can’t just
close out
the underlying window, and every time you close that
pop-up another pop-up appears. So the only way to shut it up
is to kill the
whole
web brow
s
er with Task Manager.

Actually, use this form—it’s the more direct link to “I have a problem on Kinja :” https://kinja.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000106393
