YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete
  • Simply put: why care about their point of view? Google does not have your best interests in mind, often the opposite. There's no where else to get almost all of the content, why do without or waste time with ads in this short life.

  • Does YouTube have competition? Your line of inquiry doesn't mean much if the content is only on YouTube.

  • Reddit is now blocking major search engines and AI bots — except the ones that pay

  • AMD delays its Ryzen 9000 launch due to unspecified quality issue — new launch in August; chipmaker pulls back all units shipped globally for quality checks
  • Less an expectation and more of an ideal standard to strive for. Which I would think it's in our best interest as future customers to have the highest expectations.

  • Notice how you said "a problem with" and the article said "implying that". There is some ambiguity. The issue is narrowed down but still not explicit. Hopefully we will get even more specifics later.

  • Would be nice for AMD to say what is the specific problem. They chose to recall, there must be something concrete to say.

  • I failed to switch several times as I'd just boot back into Windows if I had an issue or difficulty in learning a new way of doing things. I don't remember why but I deleted the Windows drive and then found the prospect of having to reinstalling Windows 8 not worth it.

  • I'm glad you brought this up.

    I use Linux Mint on my personal desktop and OpenSUSE on my personal server.

  • YouTube is doing a thing where some videos have more than one thumbnail to shown to users, to see what gets more clicks.

    Sure you could choose to not have an attractive thumbnail.. you won't be rewarded for it?

  • tmpfs (..) to build programs (..) to not be hammering my ssd with unnecessary writes

    Sounds useful. How did you setup the directory?

    Running df tells me "tmpfs" is mounted on /run. If I build in that that directory then would it be stored in RAM, or do I need to do something else?

  • Auto add dwarfs to military squads?

    I lose interest in DF when, after some lucky military dwarfs die in glorious combat, I have to micro manage re-adding dwarfs to squads. Is there a mod to automate adding dwarfs to squads?

    I'd love it if the commander/captains would have meetings to choose a new member out of some pool of dwarfs that want to join. And also kick out unhappy, trouble-makers from the military.

    Got an old Cisco enterprise modem/router. Anything fun I can use it for at home?

    Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

    Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

    I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

    Source of the cute blanket emoji image of this community?

    I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

    The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
