It annoys the shit out of me that they never made the “kids” section of youtube an entirely separate thing.
That’s exactly what they did. Ten years ago.
It’s just that the FTC and COPPA force them to also mark anything that gets uploaded to regular Youtube and is “targeting” kids as such, because they aren’t allowed to collect data from anyone under the age of 13.
Yeah, at one point Youtube in their wisdom decided that toys are for kids, so anything to do with them got forcefully marked as “for kids”. I remember many LEGO and RC channels have issues with it. And having your video or channel marked as “for kids” disables 90% of Youtube features - comments, likes, notifications, saving videos to playlists or watch later, end cards etc.
Even then, Youtube basically has only two age ratings - either the content is suitable for everyone (but you do have to mark if it is specifically aimed at kids under 13), or it’s age-restricted to adults only. Imagine if movies only had the options of “G” or “NC-17”. But eh, in the end it is FTC and COPPA telling them what they have to do. The alternative is that you’d have to create an account and somehow age-verify that you are over the age of 13 before Youtube was allowed to show any videos.
The automated captions have been there for ages, and yeah, they often have a lot of mistakes especially if there are other sounds in the background.
But what sucks even more are those auto-dubbed videos, because often they are made from those subs. So now they speak in AI voices using a broken translation from a faulty transcript. Great, thanks youtube, very helpful.
Years ago, there used to be community subtitles as a feature - people could submit translations and corrections and creators could then allow them on the video. Why they removed that I don’t know, but those would be really fucking handy now that you want to auto-dub the videos eh, youtube?
YT Revanced is not a 3rd party client. It (and all vanced patches) work by taking the original app and patching the code directly, often simply to bypass sections of it entirely.
Let’s take background playback for example, the app has that functionality but it checks if the user has a premium subscription or not before allowing it. Revanced simply removes that check by jumping over the code and always returning true.
1 bitcoin is currently $112000. Yeah, they do.
You don’t believe that the anticompetitive ad stuff Google has been doing for 11 years approached 2.5% of their one year profit?
Sadly it doesn’t, Google is currently the most profitable company on the planet, with them making 120 billion in pure profit 2024 and estimated to make even more this year, so this fine, for anticompetitive stuff going back to 2014, is less than 2.5% of their one year profit.
And there’s absolutely zero chance that they gained less than 3 billion from that, so this fine is just part of the cost of doing business.
That’s like the median income family in the US ($84k) getting hit with a ~$1k fine (remember, profit comes after expenses are paid) because they didn’t pay their taxes for over a decade, with no requirement of actually paying any of those taxes.
Afterwards the giant dish of jollof rice, which also included 168kg of goat meat, was divided into individual portions and distributed to the huge crowds.
Without the lens, exactly.
Realistically, cameras can be put into two categories - they either effortlessly fit in your pocket, or don’t, and any that don’t tend to get left home unless you intend to specifically go take photos. Doesn’t really matter how much bigger it is at that point.
And if you have a high end smartphone, you probably can’t get a camera that fits in your pocket that would be significantly better.
As the saying goes, the best camera is the one you have with you.
I simply wouldn’t. A dumbphone does mostly the things I don’t use a phone for.
And I don’t mean fortnite and tickytocks, I’ve grown up through (most) of the history of mobile phones, I started with my mothers old Nokia 2110 back in like… 1998? I remember how awesome it was to finally have a phone, then to be able to get the bus schedules with the painfully slow WAP connection so I didn’t have to call home, then to have navigation, replace the mp3 player, camera, and eventually even mostly my laptop.
I want to have a datapad with access to all the devices and information in my pocket at all times. If I need it to do something, I know there’s an app for it probably. It’s awesome.
I’d really prefer that the datapad wouldn’t then leech all of my information in return, though.
Oh, and bring back physical keyboards. I’d give my left nut for an HTC Desire Z with 2025 hardware.
It’s not really that different, the exact temperatures are slightly higher but most intel processors will boost up to 105C, then start throttling to maintain that 105C as a maximum, and if that’s not possible they’ll halt at 110C.
AMD does the same, just the temps are (for the one specific CPU I remember them for) 80-85C for starting dialing down the boost, 90C for throttling below the normal freq, and 95C for TjMax which either halts the system or just drops the power usage so low it doesn’t matter - I’m not about to take a heatgun to my CPU to see what it does as it wasn’t capable of hitting that on its own.
But it shouldn’t be possible to break your CPU from over temperature, no matter what those temps are, because they should be capable of protecting themselves, even if that means dropping to 386 speeds when you are running them in the Death Valley with not cooler whatsoever.
“It’s not AI, it’s just <multiple things that all fall under the category of Artificial Intelligence>”.
AI is a huge field of computer science. It’s not the one tiny narrow definition of artificial general intelligence like HAL 9000 or Skynet or Detroit Become Human.
Eh, could be better.
There are plenty of people developing apps that require root, and users who run those are already jumping through a million hoops of cat and mouse to keep their fucking mcdonalds app detecting it so they can get cheaper coffees and free fries.
Like seriously, wtf McDonalds, your app is like the ultimate root/safetynet/device id detection tool, I don’t think there exists even a banking app that is as hard to fool.
It is, because it’s actually the term that defines the process of transferring files not from an external networked device - downloading - or to an external networked device - uploading - but between two local devices - sideloading.
It’s over two decades old, you downloaded an mp3 from kazaa, and then sideloaded it to your player.
For android apps, I believe the term originates from the method of using ADB to directly write the app to the phone memory, the command of which is “adb sideload filename”
It’s a launcher, it can do a heck of a lot of things, and needs permissions to be able to do so.
But you don’t actually have to allow any of them in modern Androids if you don’t need those features. Nova Launcher also has quite a list, but I haven’t actually enabled any of them, it has never asked to, and everything works fine.
We do, but in the last decade youtube has doubled its yearly user count to something like 2.5 billion. That’s a lot of more people-hours to spend as well.
It’s going to be really hilarious if my account gets flagged by the AI.
I made it in 2004, it’s old enough to drink.
