Did YouTube decrease the bitrate again?
Did YouTube decrease the bitrate again?
On other news, welcome to my blog adshittification. The blog that uncovers the sinister truth about the ads being shown in your throat! This week’s highlights:
Youtube still hasn’t stopped ruining my week by filling up those precious few seconds between opening a video and going fullscreenwith intrusive ads that cover a quarter of your screen, and still even then you can’t stop the wall of ads that show up after the video finishes:
I opened up steam to play some factorio to calm my nerves, but I got greeted by an illegal ad telling me to kill myself:
So instead I opened library home to play something alse, only to be assaulted by more ads at the top!
I decided to give up trying to play. Normally I would open reddit next but I haven’t been using it since they put promotions in the post screen:
Thankfully lemmy is immune to such corporate bs
No lemmy-chan not you too!
It’s upsetting how news outlets can now call anything an ad to generate outrage and people here just eat it up. Something about that word seems to turn people’s brains off and they start commenting misinformation.
This is:
A feature to show you news from the game you’re about to play.
Badly designed since it can’t be turned off and it covers the entire screen.
Prone to abuse for ads.
This is not:
An ad.
A money making venture by sony.
Unique to playstation.
Who’s being exploited? It’s not like the app hides its true nature until you pay. People are upset at the idea of paying it something they don’t want to but that’s a completely imaginary scenario, those who think it’s good will pay for it and those who don’t won’t. I don’t think that justifies calling the guy names and assuming how he must’ve become (or has always been) a bad person.
I’ve no idea what you mean by legitimacy of YouTube, but if you think things like this hurt it wouldn’t it help to not have a big outrage that makes it reach even more people? Let it have a quiet death and maybe the media will stop creating these weekly how-dare-you-make-a-bad-product dramas
I don’t understand why the internet is unable to say “I don’t like this app, so I won’t pay for it” rather than “I don’t like this app, so you’re a bad person”. Hundreds of people raging over and catastrophising something they never bought or even heard of until now.
Filters will not be going away altogether on Instagram. First-party filters created by Meta will continue to be available.
This is not true. A17 pro is an existing chip that is slower than the A18. It wouldn’t make sense to call A18 A17 instead
Palwold dev talks too much
This isn’t out on windows neither. This article is a rewording of another article that seems to be a mix of data mining and speculation. So having the same information as everyone else, I don’t see any issue with commenting on it
It’s a button to manage your Microsoft account that you signed into windows with. It’s not shocking that it has an option to upgrade said account
Edit:
That’s not an ad
I think it trades blows with 7800x3d in gaming and is behind 7950x, 9950x, 13900k, 14900k in productivity.
That site has a weird lack of x3d cpus… Top 3 tiers should have 7800x3d, next 2 7600x3d / 5800x3d, next 3 5700x3d as alternatives.
Also it would serve them well to separate higher tiers to gaming / workstation and recommend parts based on that. Otherwise they end up recommending 7950x3d at the highest tier despite it not being the best at anything
These are more like last 2 week but anyways:
I see, I thought routers knew not to do dhcp on the Wan port
Is there a limit to the number of devices allowed to connect that this rule is trying to enforce?
Either way, if the vr headset doesn’t need internet connection you could connect your computer to the internet wirelessly and to your own router via cable for vr.
I just saw you specified if it’s configured for pass through.
I didn’t, that’s just bad grammar. Edited the comment
I don’t know much about networking but that page seems to be about someone else setting up a dhcp server without the knowledge of the administrators or the users. In op’s case the concerns about mitm attacks don’t apply and the other concerns sound like problems that could arise in cases of misconfiguration or if the users aren’t aware they’re connected to a different network. I also couldn’t see anything about it affecting the main network’s performance
Why does the dhcp on the router affect the main network? I’d think if it has its own network the main network would only need to deal with the router, as opposed to all the devices connected to the router if it was passthrough?
That’s much better. Op turns into soup in the laser*(edit: damn autocorrect) scene
