Fair enough, I use mine as basically a replacement for any other streaming platform, so it’s more about entertainment than raw usefulness.

My sub list is ever growing, at about 150 now. I don’t watch a lot of what’s put out by them but that’s where I start when I want to watch something. The main YouTube feed is… Unreliable at best

I watch a huge range, from 100 subs to 20m. I’ve spent years making a decent sub list to watch so I avoid most issues about trash content.

Super deep dive into games and their lore mostly, although the super long ones tend to be named like, ‘a quick retrospective of game’

My subscribed has 1 row of shorts no matter how far I scroll, never adds more.

LTT does it because some people would prefer to watch the exclusive content on yt instead of on floatplane (their own platform)

I regularly watch hour+ videos, and there’s quite a few 10+ hour videos I’ve enjoyed. Just gotta find the right people.

It’s a business with over 100 employees, if it wasn’t huge where would the employees be? His dropping thing always existed, he just got rich in the meantime.

I only pay them because I watch a stupid amount of YouTube. Hours a day, many more hours when not working.

If those ads come back while I’m paying though, the flag flies.

I’m in Australia so it isn’t as bad as the image, but 24h pending time for a purchase is fairly normal here. Anything that isn’t direct person to person seems to have some kind of wait to it, although if I directly pay a friend 100 it’s instant.

Welcome to banks, some of them just suck.

Even at over double the other guys estimate on power per area, it isn’t even touching the requirements of major data centres. What it takes to run a normal house is tiny, they likely have servers that individually draw more power than my entire household, and they have hundreds if not thousands of these servers.

Do it anyway because solar is the closest thing to free power we have, but it isn’t gonna cover the building.

Even saying fair question set off alarms. At this point saying anything good about a response at the start is immediate red flag.

It wasn’t old when I got it, bought a full license. Staying on 4, fuck 5+. I didn’t actually get it for windows updates, I just have shit internet and anything thats fucking with it when i don’t tell it to gets limited to 1KB/s, or blocked if that doesn’t work well. Just so happens to work with windows shit as well.

I’m just on w11 because maintenance is significantly easier than redoing everything.

From what I can tell, any windows 11 that isn’t pro version is utter trash. Pro version seems to not have as many issues, based on people bitching about issues I don’t have.

You can just block the update services from the internet and allow it again when you want it to update.

I use an old version of net limiter to do it and it works fine. New version is subscription trash though.

It does technically work without it, just don’tgo over A class, don’t do sprints and there was 1 normal circuit that’s a tad big in a forest bit

Forza Horizon 4 and 5 don’t say they require an SSD I think, but when I had it on my hard drive any cars that did over 250kph caused significant world loading issues, as in I’d fall out of the world because it didn’t load the map.

Depending on the quality you want to deal with, at least 3.

Don’t have high end audio equipment anyway, I can’t tell the difference on 99% of songs.

Sure but it could just do the default thing because it just wasn’t changed.
