I’m in the UK. We drive on the opposite side, freckle in the exact spot on my left arm, nothing on my right.

Money.
Also I imagine the ads will be silent but animated, like a regular website ad but full screen, essentially turning whatever you’re watching it on into a giant billboard.
It’s just another thing to block I guess.
It does also work for them that they retain employees who are more likely to put up with their bullshit. They can cull the truly lazy ones at a later date as required, either by firing them or finding a similarly bullshit change that they’re likely to be adverse to.
I see your point, but it could just be that the ‘best’ system is just what you’re used to (akin to the Celsius vs Farenheit argument). There’s a load of systems that are slightly different between countries, and make perfect sense to those using the system but make absolutely no sense to anyone outside that system.
I guess the best thing is that this has created some awareness of the minor differences which may save some confusion later down the line should anyone visit a country using a different system.
To sort of answer your comment though, I don’t see the ground floor as the “first floor” you’d be on because it’s just the ground. It’s hard to explain, but that’s just what I’m personally used to, and saying the ground floor is the first floor doesn’t make sense to me. Because I’m used to the “ground” system I’d know that if someone said something’s “on the first floor”, and I’m in my country, I’d go to the first floor above the ground floor.
If I went to the US for example and someone said something’s on the first floor I’d look at what I’d call the ground floor, because I now understand that it’s different.
We never say 0 though, we say ground. If it’s written down it’s -2, -1, G, 1, 2 etc, which by chance makes it a bit easier represented by the decimal system and in computer science.
Man renowned for over promising over promises. More at 10.
I’ve not looked into it much other than seeing it in this video by Jeff Geerling and making a mental note for next time I’m in the market for a TV but it may be of interest to you.
I’m sorry I can’t provide more details than that, but it’s basically a digital signage TV designed to run 24/7 for years, and as such is actually built without the absolute bargain basement parts that go into consumer units.
Get a non-consumer TV if you can. They’re more expensive but are actually built to last, have way more features and you can swap in whatever compute board you want so you’re not stuck with an underpowered Android TV board.
It’s not just large amounts of money. It’s chasing more and more money each quarter, and when it starts slowing down panic sets in and they start trying to find any and every possible avenue to keep profits up. It’s how we’ve ended up in subscription based hell and it’ll only get worse.
This coming down the line finally got me off of my incredibly lazy ass and forced me to switch a few months ago. It was easy, and I don’t know why I didn’t do it sooner.
Titan mode was my absolute favourite and nothing since has filled that gap
It might even be a bit simpler than that, as YouTube’s going to have to mark segments as adverts somehow so you can’t just skip past them.
The BPI-WIFI6 is currently half price and good value for what you get imo. Not sure on true performance yet as I need to rewire my house but it’s way more reliable than any of my other routers at least.
I don’t think you need a netrunner to plug a mouse into the pc behind the monitor and hit “Leave” on the (I assume) Zoom call.
Even easier, unplug the ethernet cable.
Pretty sure it’s a Nexus 4 from 2012, and that shipped with Jellybean so it’s highly likely.
I’d recommend DeArrow to get rid of this. I’ve set it to just pull a thumbnail from the middle of the videos, and the titles are community edited to remove the massively clickbaity ones (if the channel is big enough).
It even comes in ReVanced so you can remove them on mobile too.
Yeah, you can plug it into a few external services like OpenAI or even use a local LLM like LocalAI. Not used either, but I know it’s possible.
That would also explain why Aldi in the UK also has these while other stores don’t.
10°C. Coats out, heating on.
Never know what it’ll be tomorrow though. Might be 28 and sunny, might -15 and snowing. Maybe even the sun will make an appearance.
Regardless, it’ll cause disruptions to the trains somehow.
