  Phones and PCs are fine, I’m talking more smart speakers like Amazon Echo or consoles like the PS5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck happened to YouTube!?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never been impressed with YouTube Music, the UI feels jank and it doesn’t work on half the devices in my home (compared to Spotify which just works on everything)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck happened to YouTube!?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is pretty much it.

  YouTube Premium is only remotely worth it because regular YouTube is an absolute shitshow

  Ah yea, my bad :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TitanFall 2 at 3$⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know for sure in this case but some EA games require you to use EA Play as a launcher, even if you buy the game through Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TitanFall 2 at 3$⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s EA Play now, which is actually somehow worse than Origin was.

  Still, Titanfall 2 is actually a great game (probably my favourite of the PS4 era) and is well worth a little suffering for.

  Take out is probably OK but as OP has experienced, you won’t always get the freshest food.

  Dining in and you’re basically just annoying people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Too late then, I’m afraid you got the crew who were more concerned about getting home at a slightly more healthy hour than giving you fresh food.

  Never go in to any restaurant past 9pm unless it’s in a busy metro area and there are other people about or you are getting food that caters to drunk and high people that can be taken away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, it’s 9pm so unless the store is 24 hours (and even if it is) then they’ll be trying to close down a clean up and get things ready for the morning shift which starts early.

  When I worked at McDs years ago a few big orders deciding to sit in the restaurant around 9pm could mean the difference between getting to go home at 12:30 and getting an OK nights sleep vs getting to go home at 2:30 and getting a terrible nights sleep before they might have to come in at 10am the next day.

  You could argue that if they didn’t want customers at that time then they shouldn’t be open - which I would agree with - but obviously the low level grunts making your food don’t get to make those decisions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After ten years, it's time to stop making videos.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tom seems like one of the most genuine people on the internet, he fact checks the crap out of everything (going out of his way to issue corrections when he is wrong - which just never happens) and produced exceptionally high quality and interesting content every damn week.

  I’m slightly sad he’s giving up now only because I only discovered his channel a year or so ago and I’m not going to have new things to show my kids as they grow into an age of watching more educational content.

  I can only wish him the best of luck with whatever comes next.

  (Also, he deserves an MBE or something…)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube: 5 ads the norm now?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quick PSA: they don’t currently block VPNs, so you can sign up for an account in a cheap country (I picked Nigeria) and use a foreign currency debit card (I use Revolut) to get Premium for like £1.50 a month for my entire family.

  If they close that loophole then I think I’ll be done with it, the ads make it basically unusable these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has google stopped working for finding anything?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard disagree with that, DDG searches are accurate about 90% of the time that I use it (which as a web dev is quite a lot) if they aren’t hitting Google with the same term rarely wields any better results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why advertise on YouTube?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen a few video games and movies that I’ve gone on to look into from YouTube ads.

  90% of them are total annoying bollocks though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Invasion Season 2 general discussion question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like Invasion but it’s always felt like popcorn entertainment, silly contrivances that advance the plot, characters that do things out of character, a decent amount of action but nothing particularly deep and hardly “prestige” TV like The Last Of Us.

  So - for me - the first episode felt pretty on-brand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current "favorite" show?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly Apple TV+ is a pretty good service; Silo, Severance, Physical, Shrinking, Mythic Quest, For All Mankind and Invasion are all worth a watch, and that’s just the stuff I’ve seen.

  I would recommend at least taking a trial for a month, there is less stuff but it’s a lot higher quality than much of the junk on Netflix.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current "favorite" show?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Foundation on Apple TV+, beautiful, complicated, epic sci-fi. I’m rewatching the first season whilst the second is getting released week by week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the current "favorite" show?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could wipe my memory of Severance and watch it again for the first time again.

  Such an incredible show.
