If this goes live, I’m out. YT premium is my most expensive subscription, but I watch enough YouTube that I’m OK with it, especially considering that it supports creators more than ad viewers. If I still get ads? Nah dawg. I’ll divy up that money amongst patreons or whatever, and install add blockers.

Yep, this is what caused me the most grief about the election. These people are everywhere.

This is the comment that’s going to make me try it. I love my spreadsheet, so I’ll have to see if this does everything that my spreadsheet does.

I just got my first computer controlled vehicle, a 2007 Volvo XC70. It’s fucking insane. The same code scanner equipment and software that the dealership has access to needs to be included with the car at purchase, and that equipment needs to be universal to all vehicles of that model, so it’s readily available on Ebay as cars go out of service. It’s the only solution I can think of to keep auto manufacturers from charging way to much for it like they do all of their parts/tools. You also should get all of the files that are relevant to the car with the car, in case you need to reprogram a module from another car. This stuff should also be available in some sort of database or something, maybe even government hosted, in case the files that came with the car get lost.

Instead, community members are left to reverse engineer and scrounge around to get tools working on their own. It’s genuinely insane how impossible it is to diagnose issues with modern vehicles as a home mechanic.

Sometimes you can’t fix something simply because you can’t replace a part with one from another car because it needs to be reprogrammed, but the dealership won’t reprogram it, and they also won’t give you the files so you can reprogram it yourself.

I’d rather get a cable that has the specs I need.

Well, duh, this would be more useful for those cables laying around your house that you’ve forgotten or never known the specs of.

I use GrayJay/Revanced on Android and Enhancer for YouTube on Firefox (or any browser)

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.

Me? None. I just play for fun, I’d lose bad.

If there was going to be a game I’d show up for it’d be Forza Horizon, I’ve got the most hours in that and kinda do ok when I occasionally play online against randoms. Haven’t been playing much recently though, so the former statement probably still applies.

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.

I have beat the game. I remember the gist of the solution, but I have no idea how to pull it off any more. I can’t wait to play it again, possibly with the VR mod.

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.
