Google is really pushing it through, and since it's usually easy to get small files from webp, a lot of sites support it

Sounds very much like how I build my homes in Minecraft

2 Use a mental block
Close your eyes for 8s - 25 min, and pretend not to hear anything

3 What? I can't hear you!
Why play one ad when you can play a dozen. Open multiple YouTube tabs at once and let the ads roll at the same time. A few minutes of noise for a whole few minutes of ad-free play

4 Use AdBlock Premium Plus
Of course, the best block is not loading the ads. Using the discount code AFFILIATEWHORE you can get a one year Pro plan for AdBlock Premium with six months free for just $169,- per year and enjoy the ad-free experience you deserve.

^(/s, of course)

I mean, Widevine is present in all browsers and actively used by Netflix for example. YouTube also uses this when you're watching movies on YouTube Movies.

Not running DRM on the majority of YouTube content is also likely due to the added cost of running such encryption (the encryption is usually on a per-customer level, not one key fits all) and the added bandwidth and computer cycles required. Not to mention that this might be a legal struggle with the content creators.

Some creators have said that the cut they get from premium viewers is higher than that of ad based (SpiffingBrit for example, in his YouTube download exploit video).

If that still holds true is unknown.

Nov 1st?

We can hear you, you're not exactly quiet when drinking that tea.

That's why the UK company is using a cease-and-desist approach, which apparently is an option in the UK.

Source: just trust me bro

Yeah, maybe go offline and think about that statement for a while.

Since I hardly use the ms store, you can get rid of it: winget source delete msstore and then just run winget install chrome or winget install firefox

I'm on salary, still not working overhours unless I get paid. My contract states 40 hours, I'm working 40 hours. Need more? Pay significantly more.

The UK will do anything to stand out, like creating their own country abbreviations instead of using the goddamn ISO.

"NTL" for "The Netherlands", really?

Good mod

You missed an important bit:

who in the right mind

It shouldn't make assumptions about your data by default, and changing values that look like they're in a specific format should be opt-in, not default behavior

But that's exactly what made the "auto" data type of Excel such a powerful tool when introduced. If you're storing text, make the datatype "text", problem solved.

Nowadays, when making stuff like Excel from scratch, you could opt for a "these look like dates, change the type from 'none' to 'date'?" but with middle management being conditioned on the data type being 'auto', that's something that's hard to change.

But the demand for useless junk isn't going down (see Black Friday), so China will remain a player in making scrappy junk sold for far too much.

Can't wait for this cash grabby capitalist stage to die out.

so Israel can pretend like they follow international laws for whatever comes next.

They aren't part of the Geneva Convention, so they'll likely stick with the their own (US-backed) rules.

I'd much rather ban home delivery for most parcel (stuff like couches and fridges excluded) and have them put in one of those package vaults.

The postman drives all the packages to the vault, chucks them in, you pick them up when you've got time (they work 24/7), everyone wins.

We have apps for that in NL. You order and pay in the app, the staff makes your order and you pick it up when you get there.

Works like a charm on train stations, as you know your ETA.
