My electric skateboard still blows my mind. It’s crazy how well it works as compared to gasoline skateboards.

Huh?

It’s actually not the recycling symbol, it’s a plastic identifier symbol that is, for some crazy unknown reason, designed to be very similar to the recycling icon.

Apparently a hot take, but I don’t have an issue with this, as long as they’re picture ads, not videos. An option to hide them temporarily would be good if you’re trying to read something. Maybe you’d need to hold a key or something. To me this is much less intrusive than 3 videos ads at the beginning of a video.

All of that said, I pay for premium, as I watch enough YouTube for it to be very very justified. I’ve probably saved weeks of my time not watching ads, plus it supports creators more than the ads ever do.

And there really is no reason other than that. I assumed there was meaning behind it. There is not.

There was an story a while back where it was discovered that Tesla focuses their efforts on the routes taken by creators (and other influencial people), to intentionally make self driving look better than it is.

I’d genuinely buy one of those, but they’re just too expensive still. I’ll just buy a car from the 90s for a fraction of the price.

The good kinda that can come to a complete stop and start moving again without input too, not the kind that doesn’t work under 25mph.

Closest I’ve seen to that is BMW’s offerings. It just felt like a BMW inside, which still means a crazy amount of tech of course, but it was very similar to BMW gasoline cars.

For me it’d be more of a backup plan in case I forgot my wallet

Yeah, and as if anyone would know. They’ll send out the announcement internally on the Tuesday before the next fitbit releases, then announce it to the public on Wednesday.

At least he’s dumb enough to not understand how, in this fucked up system we’ve got here, voting for a third party is like not voting at all.

As a tech nerd who self hosts stuff, I’m more like “what is IPV6 and why is it causing me issues, I can’t figure this out, I guess I’ll disable it, wow my problems are fixed now.”

I guess I can see why people don’t like it, as it’s caused me issues, but just because I don’t understand it doesn’t mean it’s dumb. I’d need to understand how it works before I could say anything about it, positive or negative. I guess all I could say is that it’s been way less intuitive to me, I can’t memorize the numbers, and the reason it exists makes sense. Beyond that, I unno.

I should probably spend the time to learn about it, but I already have a full time job where I work on computers all day, I’d rather focus on my other hobbies while I’m at home.

Or just use Revanced or Grayjay, both of which are ad free and support sponsor block. Revanced is still a bit more feature complete imo, but also more buggy on my device, and more of a hassle to update. The browser YouTube experience is so bad, ads or ad free.

Walmart locks up light bulbs and fuses for cars. I was standing around mashing the obviously broken button for 20 minutes before I left, drove 10 minutes further away from home to orielleys, where I had my light bulb within 5 minutes. From then on, I order online or I pay the premium at an auto parts store if I need it ASAP.

Yeah man, Ashley wasserface was pretty much right, aside from the drinking, statistically.

I’m barely into politics, my high school teachings of the political system aren’t terribly strong in my mind. All that to ask:

1. Can he do that?

And, if so:

2. What would need to happen for a president to convert our system to lifetime terms?

3. What would need to happen for a president to convert our system to a dictatorship/monarchy/whatever? (so we actually never voted again)

4. Is it at all likely that Trump could make either of those things happen?

P.S. You don’t need to make the 86th comment about how this isn’t cryptic. Shitty headlines should be criticized, but it isn’t adding to the discussion at the point. I mean, look at me, I managed to get through this entire comment and not menti- Oh crap, I’m part of the problem.

Can’t wait for Grayjay to finish their desktop client. I also hope they add better functionality to sponsor block, akin to the desktop or revanced experience.

Honestly, the second biggest issue, after the lack of desktop client, is that it doesn’t completely solve the problem. I’ll still have to use Dropout’s, Motor Trend on Demand’s (now integrated into Discovery+), and other’s streaming service apps, instead of having it all in one place.

That said, I’m not sure if Grayjay wants or intends to implement services that are more like a Netflix, where you’d be following shows instead of creators, considering their mission statement is to follow creators.

I really want Dropout’s stuff, Roadkill, and Hot Rod Garage in Grayjay so I can simply add the videos to my watch later. For a show like Breaking Bad or something, I don’t think I’d want that in GrayJay, but I suppose it’d be good to have options.

Yeah, like the other person said, corporate IT is responsible for that stuff. I guess they’re working through the weekend to try to get it fixed.

Yeah, our VMs completely died at work. Has to set up temporary stuff on hardware we had laying around today. Was kinda fun, but stressful haha.
