They don’t have decent worker rights in the US so this shit means nothing.

Didn’t LTT just release a video covering this exact topic?

Because it isn’t? Slows to a crawl is correct. “Crawls to a crawl” means nothing.

Y’all be trippin. I put a mask on my ip to hide it’s true identity. The mask is just 255.255.255.0

No one will ever know the real ip.

I don’t have a drinking problem. I drink, I get drunk, I fall down, no problem!

Don’t use the youtube website. On any browser. Use freetube instead, if your situation and use case allows it. No Google bullshit required. Loads fast, no ads, no tracking. Fully self contained.

I can’t bring myself to belive the server wasn’t just an asshole. Someone coming into a restaurant, using Google translate and asking “please may I have a grenade juice?” would not make me think “I have a grenade and am here to blow up the place.” Its waaaaay more likely that the dumb machine fucked up the translation. You gotta be a massive xenophobe to jump to that conclusion.

In the UK, public fast chargers are mostly around the 80p/kwh Mark. With a decently light foot and getting 4 miles per kwh, that’s 20p a mile. With gas at £1.55 a litre, and a 60mpg (UK) hybrid, that’s about 12p a mile.

Home charging an ev on an appropriate tariff costs about 7p/kwh, or about 1.75p per mile.

Public charging is fucking expensive.

No love for freetube? Started using it a few days ago and it’s actually brilliant. Rather than contunue with the constant battle back and forth with ublock and YouTube, I’ve just taken the nuclear option and blown away the front end. It’s amazing. Loads faster than the Web version of YouTube too.

100% this. The ublock team are doing a fantastic job but Google are tweaking their script 2 or 3 times a day, causing the ublock team to constantly play catch up. As a user, all this has done is made me move to a more customisable front end, freetube. It’s legitimately faster to browse and load videos than the main YouTube Web page, comes with sponsorblock built in, and allows easier profile switching, all with no ads or bullshit.

I’d have never searched for or known about it if YouTube hadn’t gone batshit crazy with the ad block blocker.

Fuck em.

Literally impossible to enforce. Any business worth a damn uses vpns. Blocking such would be bad for business. Also, ssl vpns are as far as I’m aware, indistinguishable from regular https traffic.
