…and I’d like to add, if they are showing ads relevant to the website you are on, you are clicking those ads and thus giving away what interests you really have.

It was wild seeing fair-use Mickey Mouse in a divorce lawyer’s commercial.

To me, yellowed plastic is a badge of honor. Old age comes for us all.

One of my favorite remotes had the sources split across the top. Composite, Component, VGA, HDMI. And if you hit the button twice it’d cycle through the different ports of that type.

Never found a remote like that again. Now they just throw a menu to slowly browse through.

Reminds me of:

It’s not drama, I’m just surprised is all. He’s usually very good about his accuracy, so when the entire premise is wrong I would have expected him to retract the video instead of leaving a comment someone can miss.

It’s a pretty big mistake, though given it’s his second (casual) channel it is very low stakes.

He can’t posit that re-releases are being done on single layer DVDs to save money, but use bootlegs as proof. Bootlegs aren’t a DVD release done by the distributor. That’s a pretty fatal flaw in logic.

It’s the equivalent of “Steam games are getting re-released in a weird way” and linking to Pirate Bay torrents, and the entire video is about how cheap games have gotten since they don’t have Steam features like achievements and cloud-save.

I’m surprised this video is still up, since the entire premise is false. They are bootlegs he bought off ebay, not official releases.

Not sure if it’s the one you are referring to, but AI gave discounts on flights.

I wonder if Windows Defender is parsing the hosts file and flagging specific entries. Perhaps your program knows what is flagged through trial & error, while I did more of an aggressive blanket approach.

It’s the only thing I can think of.

I think in this case “confirm” just means it is a second source saying it is a 4GHz Pentium 4. The first source of that information is just marker written on the CPU and thus considered less reliable.

Back when I had my Intel 3GHz Prescott working in tandem with the dustbuster Nvidia 5900XT, I honestly didn’t need to turn on the heat during winter.

Windows Defender will pick up any alterations to hosts file and revert it back to default. You have to whitelist the file before setting up any changes.

The advertisers demand to view any generated log.

I don’t know about this agreement, but of the ones I read: They also have a mass arbitration clause, where if a threshold of people arbitrate you automatically get grouped into a class so the company doesn’t have to pay nearly as much.

do people actually buy those? I honestly thought they were some kind of money laundering thing. I’ve never once saw one sell.

If using era-appropriate hardware, I wonder if you could use archived Kubuntu repos to upgrade one at a time until it’s a modern Linux kernel.

I’ve been holding onto OG Lawnchair faaaar too long. I wish the updated version would land on official F-Droid already.
