You can scrub shorts on mobile (might have to pause it first), but not desktop for some reason…

Wrong community?

As do I, it is odd that he just guided them in though. At least, from the very grainy security footage he showed me a year ago

I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven’t noticed? A lot of the time I’m using Snapchat out of the house, I haven’t bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)

BattleBots for the win, fantastic action!
- Comment on Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed? 9 months ago:
Isn’t this the idea of having a chipset (Northbridge/Southbridge) on the board, to handle some of these IO tasks?
Also, I recently saw the Cathode Ray Dude video on Dell’s Brain Slug, where down basically hijacked the system with a low-power ARM SBC. I almost wonder if something like this would be possible, it would obviously require a revision but it would theoretically allow for suspended downloads, invite notifications, etc. It would also be fairly expensive and complex though

This is me with those stupid “Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx” ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).
To their credit, they’ve stopped claiming they’re cheaper than groceries
- Comment on Does it matter if I skip sponsored ad segments in YouTube videos? 9 months ago:
Theoretically no, they want people to ignore those built-in sponsorships, so the advertisers go straight to Google’s ad service
- Comment on Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks? 9 months ago:
I don’t find that to be a particularly compelling argument though. If you go to buy a lead acid battery for solar usage, for example, they give you the capacity based on a 20-hour discharge (or, 1/20th C rate). The same could absolutely be done for primary batteries
- Comment on Why are batteries in phones always measured in mAh instead of Wh like for example notebooks? 9 months ago:
They both tell the same story, but one requires extra information you don’t have. You don’t say that the latest i3 pulls 6 Amps, you say it pulls 65 Watts. Also the voltage does change as the battery discharges, that’s why you use the nominal voltage of the pack. mAh is also not a current

SwitchBot makes a retrofit deadbolt controller that straps onto the inside
- Comment on Young Adults, How Frequent Do You See Your Friends? 9 months ago:
Same here, I’m in my early/mid 20s and still see almost all of my high school friends multiple times per month. Plus we play games on Discord at least once or twice a week. I moved about a half hour out from town a few years back, which is probably the only reason we don’t see you each other even more often

Set up NextCloud, sync your photos to your own NextCloud server, and you’re good to go. The crazy thing is it’s becoming trivial for even a non-technical user to set everything up. Tail scale means there is no reason to put forward if you are just using it for personal use, and you literally just have to log into tail scale with your Google account on the server and your phone. You can run next cloud in a virtual machine with virtualBox, and that’s literally it. You don’t have to deal with updating, being stuck in PHP or dependency hell, none of that. Seriously, we are at such a crazy time in history where you can set up your own cloud infrastructure with an hour of work for even an non-technical user, and stop paying for iCloud photos or Google photos storage each month. It saves you money and improves your privacy

Do tell, I’m curious to learn more. Does it really matter if it knows how many pages you’ve printed? It’s not going to magically tell you you can’t print anymore when you can see that there’s the link in there
