As much as we all love a good conspiracy theory it's been known for a long time that YouTube uses algorithmic audio matching, same technology as used for Shazam/Soundhound to identify songs. YouTube normally gives you a button to just remove or replace the audio of the video with a royalty free track to have it reinstated.

I think this is forward-thinking, if you have a self driving car you will be using the screen for tasks while it is driving.

That's how Waze does it, yesterday when driving with it I was given an ad for a car dealership nearby and it prompted a button to navigate to it.

> Also, it should in theory also be possible to unencrypt, patch, re-encrypt, not easy but also not impossible, but would need things to be set up right in the 1st place. This only works for games which use their own launchers. Off the top of my head -- Guild Wars 2, Path of Exile, Warframe, Blizzard accomplish this very well with their respective patchers.

This is how Steam & Playstation Network currently patch games. They will download a bytepatch of what has changed between the current and the new version then download that, make a copy of your game file while applying the patch and then once it has successfully patched it will move it back over the top of the installed file. This is why on Steam you need double the available space of the patch you are downloading to get it. Sometimes Steam gets stuck in a loop where it downloads the bytepatch, starts applying it, runs out of hard drive space, deletes the patch & working directory and then immediately starts downloading the patch again, over and over wasting your bandwidth and making the hard drive and CPU work hard for no benefit. Epic Games also use this for their launcher, Fortnite will detect if you have enough free hard drive space to apply the patch and if you don't it will instead download & overwrite the files and warn you about slower patching time since it has to download more data.

The last week is probably more appropriate than the last 24hrs. Some of the updates can be quite large and nothing worse than trying to jump into a session with friends then having a 2hr wait for the 50GB update.

> All touch panel controls should only function whilst the vehicle is stationary and set in park with handbrake on. My car stereo has this, you can't use the touchscreen at all unless the car has the handbrake on. Thankfully the bypass was very simple, take the wire that connects from the stereo to the handbrake position sensor and just connect it to a ground and you can always use the screen. I only use it when my car is stopped at the lights anyway as it has a physical volume knob and next/previous track buttons.

> Off-topic: it often feels like the user interfaces of routers haven't improved much either... When you spend $500 on a top of the range D-Link router with a 1GHz CPU and you hit the port forwarding page and get told you can only put in 20 entries =(

The behind the scenes stuff during the end credits is just awesome, looks like a really powerful tool.

Over the years i’ve redeemed some free space promos on it and have 10GB free storage on my account

Personally I put it all into a dropbox folder and use the dropbox app to play it back

The browser utilised a technology called “do not track” where you can request a site to not set tracking cookies, although this was removed from Safari 6 months ago and replaced with some intelligent AI that attempts to classify which are non-essential cookies. Previously the browser would send a header saying not to track and Google had been disobeying this header and setting tracking cookies regardless which is why the lawsuit came about.

Nano Defender features anti-anti-adblock so it will attempt to bypass the checks on sites that detect adblocking.

I'm guessing you use something like a smart card or auth token generated by a phone app to temporarily elevate your admin rights.
