Youtube search page has so many shorts before the actual videos...

  • For what it's worth, you have this stranger's full support. It's extremely important to exercise your voice when dealing with bullshit like what YouTube is doing, and it saddens me to see so many people complain about YT / Netflix / whoever else walking all over them, while folding like wet paper and handing over their money.

    I understand that people with families can't just tell their kids why they can't enjoy the same shows their friends do... But even some of my single friends who pirate some things will still happily bend over for, say, Disney+.

    Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for sticking to your guns and actually treating YT like the pile of garbage it's becoming. I'll be right there with you if the ads become unavoidable, even if abandoning it is an extremely difficult long-term exercise. I left reddit in the rearview and YT will be no different.

    • Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers

  • I don't keep up with Uber news, but do they still not consider their drivers to be actual employees, but rather 1099 workers? Either way that company can go to hell.

    Lyft too if they have the same attitude.

    • [Question] Creating a new partition in RAID 0 for Windows / Linux dual-boot

    Jump

  • I don't use any external drives so I had no idea they ended up getting this small. There's a USB port in the exact center of the back so this is a perfect solution.

  • Yeah, I did read that RAID 0 is a tradeoff of redundancy for speed. It makes sense that they'd go with that in an "epic gamer laptop" like mine. I was drawn to this machine because of the double screen setup (Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo), among other things, like the complete lack of webcam! I'll definitely make regular backups when I start using it for serious work. Thanks!

  • That's a cool idea! The only downside I guess is that I have a big ol' drive hanging off that would make it awkward to pick up the whole machine, but honestly that's not too bad. Cheers!

  • Sounds like I should err on the side of caution then. Thanks for the in-depth explanation. I think I'll either buy a new SSD for my desktop and boot from that, or get a cheap(er) laptop and go full Linux. I love this laptop as it is - despite it running Windows - and I really don't want to rock the boat hardware-wise.

    Thanks again!
