According to a video I watched yesterday, it’s not random, it’s because they’re bored teenagers

Hilariously I left this post then scrolled down just a few posts and found this. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/05/24/killer-whales-attacking-sinking-boats-are-bored-scientists-say/73558157007/

Wait so was the hacking live?

Like I said, none of that happens to me and I’ve been using YouTube since 2006. It really does seem like a difference between paid and unpaid amounts.

Do you pay for premium? From what I’ve seen the algorithm is much more hostile to people who don’t pay. I literally _never _ have these problems about YouTube recommending stuff I don’t care about.

Your logic doesn’t make any sense. They make money off of people paying for a service or watching ads. If you’re blocking ads then you’re costing Google money and no creators are getting paid. If you’re paying for the service then you don’t get ads, and you pay the creators, and you pay for Google to keep running the service.

I thought it was adblocks latest update.

Google doesn’t sell your data, they’re one of the few that don’t. That doesn’t mean they aren’t misusing your data though. They’re more the dragon hoarder than the thief selling off stolen goods. They want all your data so they can learn everything about you. Selling your data to others makes it worth way less. It’s a difference in strategy. Google retains the data to enhance their products, Facebook sells your data because they have no products that would be improved by keeping it.

It replaces as many 4k monitors as you can fit in virtual space around you.

I actually got them all in order on my side.

Your grocery store has cell service? I lose all service the second I step inside mine

It replaces all your monitors for your workstation in a single portable device. That alone is worth it for a lot of people.

The battery pack is literally just USB c.

Never even heard of matpat and I’ve been using YouTube since 2006

Regenerative braking only can recapture something like 2-5% of lost energy. The bigger factor is exactly what the other person said.

thanks for the picture. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Just to check, I went over and looked at my wife’s work laptop and it’s not on that keyboard, but it is on her external keyboard, but not as a separate key, it’s part of the print screen button!

Yes, you’re essentially paying for download capacity. But I never have to worry about viruses or my ISP saying anything. And downloads are instant.

I haven’t tried it for gaming or music. Like always, piracy is a service problem. Spotify and Steam have solved the service problem so I pay for those. Haven’t felt like pirating in a game in 14 years due to it, and spotify literally has every song I could ever want to listen to on the planet.

By not torrenting. Use Usenet instead. Way safer and easier. Once I went Usenet I literally haven’t touched a single torrent in over a decade.

I’ve never even heard of this key that you are talking about, yet it’s mentioned several times in this thread.

I gave my wife a keyboard with an any key on it (custom design I made from wasd) and it doesn’t work for anything that says “press any key”. Quite annoying honestly.
