  • You're not wrong. But it won't happen because of this change, and it's not going to happen tomorrow. So, as of now, they're just complaining. I say 'they', because I left yt when they started video ads. I didn't mind the banners, but the unskippable video disruptions were what broke my camel's back (some of the early ones, if you recall, controlled your volume levels and turned themselves up). You're right, eventually, everyone will hit a breaking point, but if the 60-120s unskippable video ads weren't that point, this simple UI change won't be that for the vast majority of users.

  • Looks like they just adopted material you design. It's a 'whatever' change for me.

  • And you think people will do anything more than just bitch about it? Noooopppppeeeee

  • Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we're fine. Facebook, maybe not so much...

  • This made my day!

    Edit: also, this is from 17-APR, and it's the first I'm seeing this. I wish I could say I've been under a rock, but I was literally looking for, and reading, multiple articles on this near daily, and missed this...

  • If I can't change it once it gets breached (because it will get breached), then it's not security, it's a hurdle at best. Biometrics entry isn't security; it's convenience.

  • No. COVID didn't lead to this. Their insane greed lead to this. We were more than happy to pay a fair price to own a product, but no... they wanted more, and more, and more, and, eventually, we had enough. The fact that it happened during a pandemic is irrelevant, because it didn't lead to this. Their greed lead to this.

  • Not just hiding, but actively blocking. Pissants.

  • But it should be optional with a very clear "if you don't have this account then X could happen" warning and agreement. I don't want a ms account, and my computer shouldn't force me into it. That's my gripe with that bit.

  • Not sure Linux busts in like this. It just, sorta walks in like it owns the place. "Door was locked? It wasn't for me."

  • I'm literally dealing with this shit now.

  • And they're so much more comfortable, it's ridiculous. It's like the shoe industry decided, several decades ago, that men don't want comfortable shoes.

  • Bugs me, too. I only use it when I absolutely have to. But it is free.

  • The mooInk V includes a reading mode allowing it to be held half-folded like a paperback.

    The ereader has a reading mode?? This changes everything!

  • Security and privacy are not the same thing. For that matter, neither is anonymity.
