There really was some ads that get through last month, but UBO fixed that last week. Either you got lucky or you are not in that set - Google do A/B updates before.

randomly came across these, so yeah.

They have for public benefit program where they give out their paid security tiers for free? If you can get recommended into it. Build a lot of goodwill there for non-profits community.

I think it's more like extracting raisins? ad contents are still separate from the dough. finding the boundary conditions or ads hashes is guaranteed to work. whether it is feasible for adblockers is a different matter yet.

Feels like this should be pinned...I didn't even realize it exists.

I know of this one time (last year) a window that was purposely kept shut was opened by a visitor and the notebook was rained upon. completely soaked. Kept in rice for about a month (changing the rice on some schedule), it booted up fine for a while. then died completely after a few weeks.

I think the editors at The Verge have a greater mastery of the sarcastic tone than me.

I think it pointed out the right direction at least once, back when i was doing tech support (xp and pre-xp). Back when the toolkit includes whole stacks of cd's containing every driver known to exist. I don't even remember what it is, but it was something Realtek.

I once left a torrent on for ~three years at 50%, obviously no one seeded that anymore. one day i realised it was completed, and i have no idea when. now i only streamed my high sea amusements, i don't even have a torrent client on anymore, but i like to think that the three copies seeded from mine (based on uploaded data) is still out there somewhere.

No, there's an A/B implementation going on. The UBO maintainers hadn't seen the crackdown themselves and had to rely on troubleshooting reports to see what is going on which is wild to think about - both on their skill but also did google specifically whitelist them or are they exceptionally lucky

same here. it's the real reason i don't set it up for people, they need to be able to at least maintain it. My mother can't get the update working either until i did it step by step with her and she practiced it several time.

Or to recap from history, Internet Explorer has no incentive to follow web standards and web design was a stagnant table-based layout until Netscape shows up. Wouldn't have complete separation of text and style the way we do today if css never took off.

DDNS

Before social media back in the 2000's i know quite a few personal site using home servers using them. And (google google) apparently these days cloudflare offers the service.

maybe this problem is more than it really is, maybe youtube really really needs eyes on ads.

Louis Rossman said in one of his video that at his views level it would cost him ~10k a year to host outside of youtube.

honestly at this point i just do uBO purge-cache/update every time i went to youtube after a long enough gap ( haha hours. mere hours i'm addicted) from the last time.

you can go onto your youtube history, search for that video and remove it from your history, and it will stop influencing your recommendations.

every now and then i watch a video about a topic i'm not really interested in except for that one video, and then had to remove it from history.

It's not relevant to me, i'm in a different country, but in i've seen daily completely turn off your hidden phones, and only turn them on when it is safe because the alert will still blare when you turn on you phone the entire week before the test and also months before. Certain circles take warning each other about 'Loud Day' seriously.
