I had to look this up. It actually seems pretty nifty:

(yes, Bob, we know you don't have these use cases)

Millennials like to say "drop" to mean "release".

"Taylor Perry dropped a new album."

Even Zoomers find it tiresome.

Because I was looking for this information I asked it "what is the length of a honda 41411-VH8-640 flexible drive shaft?".

It thought I was looking for car parts.

I asked Grok and it knew I had one of two string trimmer base models but didn't have the answer either.

Grok recommended 25 websites to look at but I already stupidly spent an hour looking at websites instead of spending twenty minutes taking apart the brush cutter and measuring it with a tape and calipers.

Humanity is safe for now.

no pun intended...

* start your video for a few seconds
* go to the you tab with history
* click the video (in the leftmost position)

It will stop at the end of that video because it doesn't think it's on a playlist or anything.

Everything else seems to autoplay on mobile despite whatever settings.

Or use SmartTubeNext if you are using AndroidTV which is infinitely configurable.

Same here.

I have an Android-based TCL display and I can (and do) turn it all off.

Except for volume normalization, which I have set to medium.

Very failed directors have actors whisper and light the whole scene too dark to cover up for their lack of talent.

Besides 'unconscionable clauses' being void, the sellers likely have a tortuous interference of contract claim too.

Unfortunately two things: they can't afford to take on Amazon because the Courts system is not a Justice system and this class-action isn't on behalf of the sellers.

The reason it's unconscionable is that Amazon charges various fees that a seller does not have to pay on his own website so his cost can be lower with direct sales. This hits small businesses hardest that are trying to make entry into a market.

Huge brands don't care.

The source of the ice in the iceberg under discussion is Antarctica. You didn't even have to RTFA, this was even mentioned in the summary.

That aged well.

If an ICE costs $25K and an EV costs $45K then they need to account for the pollution created by earning that $20K difference, which they seem to ignore.

Almost all earning includes the expenditure of energy.

For a median income earner that $20K of spending can be close to a year's work (earnings above basic living expenses).

And then there are substitution effects.

Half-analyses of this type are worse than not doing them.

People don't have to do this.

We have alarms to alert when the temperature is out of whack.

Maybe once a month some calibration data should be gathered.

And, yes, the alarms should not be on the Internet.

OK, I looked it up.

Yes, mammals need acetylcholinesterase too.

Brave's e2ee sync chains are even more of a killer feature than adblocking, IMO.

I know so many Brave users that I suspect it's not being reported separately in their headline number.

They're going to have trouble in Court claiming they have a unique and different definition of "household" than the law defines.

FTC isn't pleased with Google's behavior in recent years.

"Pray I don't alter it further" may have worked when they were partnering with the previous Administration to censor the base of the current Administration.

It's like nobody has a home IP and a random mobile IP because it's 2001 or something.

Maybe they'll just kill Premium and try to force everybody onto YouTube TV. At some point every successful corporation tries to squeeze more out of their customer base and kills it off. We just saw VMware attempt something like this. LinkedIn is a ghost town nowadays for the same reason. Many "subscription model" companies are doing the same.

It's not just bottom-line revenue if you're driving the customer base to the competition. Maybe for a few quarters it is, but then you've lost market dominance.

Big opportunity for Rumble and Odysee if they can pick up free money. Rumble seems unable to - they position themselves for the deplatformed but then tie creator revenue to Paypal which already canceled the deplatformeds' accounts.

It's all so strange but buying infinite hard drives is a difficult business model for sure.

The class action should be fun.

IRS says they're part of your household.

But the kids well just use Revanced if they make paying harder than not paying.

Yep, now expensive, disposable and unreliable crap.
We live in a world of enshittification and it is not profitable to make good stuff, how do you do repeat sales. Besides the tariffs will remove the competition which is good for profits.

I bought "Java for C++ Programmers" and "Java in 21 days" back in the day.

It took me probably a couple weeks to really get the hang of it to the point I was building message queues and passing objects among threads (a client-server app).

It was probably only my 9th or 10th language at the time and quite different than some others I'd used.

I've looked at Rust fundamentals and am currently waiting for the dust to settle. Odds are good that Java code I wrote in the 90's would mostly run today. Not interested in updating apps every year or two if they are working.

But when I do dig into it I expect to allocate a week or three to get used to it.

By contrast you can spend a day with Lua and do some useful small things but they are small things.

C is easy to start writing bad programs with and almost impossible to write secure programs with. I wouldn't depend on somebody with less than three years of C to put a server on the wire.
