You can disable the background image that in the options under Appearance. It's a holdover from Clementine's branding which I also find annoying. I also dislike the glow animation on currently playing track in the playlist which can also be disabled.
No wonder Silksong is only $20. I saw the memes about the devs asking for $20 and assumed it was $20 more like $60=>$80 or something like that.
I remember another Youtuber Linus Tech Tips creating their own injection molds in BC so that it would be harder for copycats. The entire Screwdriver isn't made in Canada though. The shaft and bits are made in China or somewhere else in Asia IIRC. The reason they were able to do that though is because there already existed an injection molding company nearby for them to work with though.
Becoming a paying customer is just a negotiation with advertisers to raise their rates until Netflix concedes to what they want. Since they know you have more discretionary income Netflix can also charge more for ads. They're also incentivized into turning those customers into ad supported by increasing the no ad plan cost.
Does modern Pokémon start battles by throwing a pokeball to release a monster to begin fighting?
LTT has the right mentality that supporting an influencer should give you something physical for your support or when asking a superchat on a livestream that may or may not get answered.
I can confirm that the title "I Hacked My Friend's Phone to Show How Easy It Is" was the actual title when the video was uploaded. However you're right that it now looks like it changed to "Exposing The Flaw In Our Phone System" a day later.
Watch an older Veratasium video about Youtube's title+thumbnail clickbait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2xHZPH5Sng
That said, the real world example Veratasium used was chilling.
Having LinusTechTips as a 2nd example (whos showing off his new apple phone) was a nice counter too. I'm pretty sure LTT uses multi factor+user auth though so I'm guessing that sms 2fa email was an alt email for personal use.
Gonna have to watch that 2014 presentation on ss7 it seems.
Google Fonts can act as a tracking pixel, the bandwidth cost is probably offset by the slight amount of user data it obtains.
It should have 4 years of updates too, which at $270 CAD is $5.63 per month of support.

This makes sense why https://old.reddit.com/r/all/comments/ worked but the nested comments in threads don't.

However it seems the "all comments" still shows the last few comments in a subreddit (without the context).
> Leia: Chewie, get up here! We're going into an asteroid field! > Han: That's no problem. Just don't hit whatever asteroid might be within a hundred thousand kilometres. > Han: They're in nice stable orbits too, so it's easy to avoid them. > Leia: Okay, fine. We're going into a massive region of randomly moving, closely packed, enormous giant space rocks. > Han: Gaaaaaah!

All edge needs to do is tell the chromium code to load from the google profile at startup, then change the profile directory after loading to save it to make the copy.
Actually, are they going to be refueling in orbit with crew on board? Or are they launching a rocket into orbit and refueling it, then launching another rocket with the crew to dock with the fueled rocket?

> In 2020, NASA announced agreements with four companies—Lockheed Martin, United Launch Alliance, SpaceX, and a Florida-based startup named Eta Space—to prove capabilities in the area of refueling and propellant depots using cryogenic propellants.
Ah, it's first come first served.
> without astronauts onboard. Once that is successful, NASA will clear Starship for a crew landing on the agency's Artemis III mission, marking the astronauts' return to the lunar surface for the first time since 1972.
So it seems they'll use a Starship for crew as well?

* CON: The problem is that the WEI server could change it's tracking faster than the browser app updates it's fakeness though. There's more money in bypassing adblockers than there is in blocking them.
* CON: If it does fake itself, when you return to the original website it can assume there's no adblocker and fail to load with the adblocker unlike now where it's usually ignored.

I personally disable all extensions except uBlockOrigin from auto-updating. If they break, then that prompts me to re-check if they're legit or if they've been bought out (like Stylish) before updating.
