My parents computer has gotten a virus that acts up very weirdly. It doesnt let them open new tab unless you force quit chrome and restart it, redirects them to either bing, spanish yahoo, search marquis or ask.com. I checked for extensions and there isn’t anything, a big concern is that I received an email saying passwords have been leaked/exposed and now the google account says “Managed by organization” despite…

I don’t understand why is this sub allowed to be watered down to a ask.com alternative.

With ordinary search engines we were never able to ask for complex ideas or answers, why ask.com failed. Then we came up with an alternative solution and that would be to access information from individuals over the internet, hence websites such as Reddit and Twitter got formed. Now all this data that we gathered and each written with a different individual, which will cause each piece of information be structured…

The fact that google.com isn’t already a ChatGPT should be scary. Remember when ask.com was meant to be a question search engine? :).

I have ben talking about how the internet sucks and completely changed at least for 6 years . 20 years ago you could search any question and get real fucking answers. NOW… You get BS that does NOT even come close to answering question and you get ads that have nothing to do with question just a keyword that was in the question. I sometimes put the same question in duck duck go , then google, ask.com. The whole…

I wonder how good it is, seeing as a lot of these bad guys are fully legal, e.g. ask.com or mywebsearch!

… The Gene Nebraska stuff takes place in 2010, but it turns out that ask jeeves became ask.com in 2005. And disappointingly, if you search for “con man albuquerque” there, you don’t get jack squat cobbler. :(.

Indeed, it existed as ask.com, but the butler and the name “Jeeves” were gone by 2006.

You can still type askjeeves.com into your browser and be redirected to ask.com. If this is Marian’s first laptop, maybe it doesn’t jive that she’d know about an outdated search engine, but maybe she remembered Ask Jeeves from the 90’s when ubiquitous PC’s were newfangled.

Except, ironically, if you search on google you’ll find Saul, but if you search on Ask Jeeves (ask.com), you won’t at this time.

A similar search at ask.com is less satisfying.

Websites like ask.com and info.com are running Google search ads that take users to more search results, which seems like it falls under this description. The first 4 or 5 results are advertisements on EVERY SINGLE keyword you search (you can enter a query of a bunch of random letters and there’s 4 or 5 ads). But they’re allowed to do it.

Why? Because regular old websites are full of trash and use money to become top web results. Other social media platforms don’t have a space to answer questions and even sites like ask.com are full of incorrect answers and stranger questions.

That’s good to know about Quora though. I’ve never looked into it and thought it was just a website for asking questions like ask.com or stack exchange.

I knew that ask.com was Ask Jeeves but that is all I knew.
