If I could give the youtuber cash in exchange for the video, I'd have no problem with that. Watching ads simply isn't something I'm willing to consider. Like if the transaction was…

Good as long as you don't want the EME-free version.

I've found ad-blockers other than uBlock Origin MV2 to struggle with particularly aggressive anti-adblocking scripts. I don't particularly notice, but my wife was getting frustrate…

The problem I run into is e.g. if I need to replace the the steering wheel cruise control buttons in my car, a random youtuber doing that is the only reasonable option getting inst…

Hey now, I use Edge on macOS.

Funny how this has diverged in Canada/USA which otherwise have broadly similar broadcast markets in many respects. The broadcast stations have been gutted of sports content in favo…

Heck my Google News doesn't even have a tools dropdown or a date filter.

There are, however, some dumb LED bulbs that have built-in circuitry to warm as they dim. Some of them even adjust the temperature based on the dimmer switch setting without adjust…

It's a bit tricky to determine what exactly is "cheap" though. I've got various Philips Hue bulbs/strips with no failures at 20k+ hours. OTOH I've got a few Philips Ultra Definitio…

Roughly 100% of my spam calls come from spoofed numbers and don't repeat, so I never bother blocking anything.

wikipedia has the history of 16:9 - it originated as a compromise of the other popular aspect ratios at the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16:9_aspect_ratio#History

> This is also why pleas for the 1.43 aspect ratio on home video are slightly misguided. It's not the shape of the 1.43 IMAX image that's so compelling. It's the angular image size…

The App/Play stores already basically have that, you can't submit apps without age ratings. One spot where it's a bit weird is for utility apps that don't have any "mature" content…
