Honestly I didn't find this online but I've always done it this way. I'm happy to learn others think the same.

This gave me a really good chuckle.

Good catch. And yea, at a local level this Wilhelm not exacerbate things.

The crisis begins with the emanation of farm fires in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, where farmers set fire to hundreds of square kilometres of paddy fields after harvesting them to clear them of residue, causing a smog jacket to form over northern India, particularly Delhi.

Banning firecrackers to not make the problem worse makes sense, given how absolutely bad it will be due to the slash and burn farming practices. But the firecrackers alone (while not good for the atmosphere) aren't like a global warming factor. But for your on-the-ground air quality doesn't help at all.

Then cut 4k content entirely. Downgrade to 720p.

Do what must be done. Run the company like it was intended to be financially feasible without some future advertising innovation saving it.

But once the product itself begins to actively repulse me, then I stop checking the website as much. Literally everyone I know right now in my immediate family and friend circle is looking or testing a Google alternative because of these reasons.

When you enshittify the experience too much, no one wants it. I have YT premium, but parents who have YT TV due to poor coverage in their area, they don't get YT premium. I don't understand that.

There is a give and take with advertising, you are right. But this is just beyond what I will tolerate. Pause screen ads and ads on my TV home screen are my line. That is my hardware, and that is a service I pay for. Absolutely not.

Sadly, YouTube TV doesn't include YT Premium.

Which is the weirdest shit imaginable to me.

In any case, adverts on the pause screen should be banned.

The entire advertising industry is long overdue for a massive clapback and course correction, because it has infested every inch of waking life.

If you're in prison for life, and you want to kill yourself because of gender dysphoria, providing you the medical care to avoid that is the humane thing to do. Period.

If you are an immigrant detained for 6-12 months before deportation, the the odds of this applying to detained immigrants is near 0, but let's say 1% it does, this would be tailored at ensuring they can have the drugs they require.

Keeping people from shooting out the back of their fucking heads or swallowing a bottle of painkillers to end it all is always the humane choice.

Don't worry, we could fund it all by just not administering a few death penalties (those are more expensive than life imprisonment).

I hope someone viciously kills him before it can happen.

Like, to be clear I am not threatening or anything, but no such thing as a trillionaire should exist, and it's absolutely something that should be punished.

There is no moral way to get there.

I think LTT did a video on this recently actually.

The truth is there are some inflection points, but your chosen gaming resolution is going to affect things the most. If you are playing in 1080p, then you are leaving true performance on the table to not upgrade the rest. But if you are gaming at 4k, the GPU carries 95% of the biggest burden, so you are seeing only 5-10% improvements from changing your whole damn motherboard and cpu.

As time goes on this will change. But especially since 4k high end gaming is so intensive, the gains on cpu aren't massive. 1440p you get some moderate improvements from cpu / memory, etc, but 1080p is where you can see huge uplift.

Yes, they should.

Twitter already bans and takes down posts for most other nations, Musk even posted about how they have to to operate.

This is quite literally no different. If you want to operate in a country, love or hate it, you have to agree to their laws for their users. If the EU laws say posting revenge porn, you can't ignore them and say nuh uh we're a US company free speech. If Japan has a law saying posting bomb instructions is an instaban, you have follow suit. And in Brazil, 7 accounts, seven were identified by a court as needing to be taken down for spreading misinformation. You can object, but then stop doing it for the other countries as well, because Twitter absolutely must cooperate with the US and EU on these requests or they get massive fines as well. And they do.

Its a stupid act of grandstanding and Elon thought they would blink first, or the fallout wouldn't be so obvious and massive.

Try harder, you can do better than this.

Nope.

This is why anyone not huffing paint has stayed far away from NFTs.
