Google dropping uBlock Origin like that is not because "they didn't update something", it's because Google is literally removing the majority of features necessary for ad-blocking. There is no API for uBlock to migrate to that will perform even half the ad-blocking they are doing right now. This is just Google finally pulling the monetization lever on their "free" browser now that they have the power to.
@@notthere83 This is core browser stuff, so the changes will be made in the Chromium code, and also apply to Chrome. It's possible that initially the code will just be disabled but not removed (so other browsers can re-enable it), but it will eventually get removed completely.
Watch everyone flee to Brave, Vivaldi, or Firefox. I've never liked Google Chrome (nor Chromium) and have just used Firefox. I also go out of my way to yell at the Firefox devs whenever they do something insanely stupid. My yelling has had the net effect of producing a decent web browser by getting them to rollback dumb changes or at least reach a decent compromise. My yelling, however, hasn't convinced the devs to close the blatant security holes in Firefox. I will continue to work on that.
I always knew Google would kneecap ad-blocking in Chrome eventually, I've never trusted them so I've been using Firefox as my main browser for the past decade.

17:10 they basically do this with college textbooks in a sense. They republish them every year with the problems made different. If you get an older edition of the textbook, you'll get every question of the homework wrong because the questions are different and that's basically the only change. It makes me irate. If I can't find a book in pdf format online, I just rent a digital copy for as short a period as I can and use a screen recorder while flipping through. Tedious, but worth.
the best ones are when they make you buy an 800 dollar book new because they changed the first page since the publisher got bought by another one. yeah that was a fun one.. immediately returned it and told the professor to ... off when he refused to let anyone use the old book that you could buy used for 100 bucks..
Most of the classes at my college would recommend chapters for practice but the actual assignments were there own custom set. So the usually a slightly older edition was still serviceable though they may have combined or swapped some chapters.
Will we never happen. We are to far down the security state rabbit hole. Facial recognition at all NFL games this year “for the safety of the fans”. So far down the rabbit hole.
Lmao that will never happen again, like Bob said we are way too deep in the security rabbithole. And the deeper we go, the less trusting we become and the more we want more security (collectively as a society, probably not the majority of this audience). This same effect can be seen in the mental state of people living in gated communities vs nongated.

"You just coast on the hardware you had for 7 years for another year"..... Hey now my 9900k 64GB DDR4 2080Ti setup still plays games above 100 fps Do I really need to upgrade?
Coasting on seven year old hardware, what’s wrong w/ that? People have been fooled into thinking you need to update every generation. You can skip multiple generations before upgrading. I realize enterprise is different but even then you have to question if they really need to upgrade constantly.
Enterprise is Business. And in Business, we factor in - Cost Opportunity, Total Cost of Operation, Profit Opportunity. Lets talk a woodworking shop - If you have a steady income, and clean up takes you say an hour a day, investing in a dust collection solution up to around 5000$ can actually be worth it over the course of a year. And that is without factoring in the quality of life improvement - JUST the money consideration. If you are a home hobby shop, unless you have the disposable income and nothing else to target it that is more desirable, that is a huge chunk of change. With data centres - you need to consider paying back the hardware, the overhead cost, and profit. Constant upgrading doesn't make sense, but also - depending on what you run, you have optimized software, and you have a fairly long validation time to make sure the mission critical software will run correctly. Couple this with unexpected problems? Why would you want to constantly be upgrading to cutting edge? The truth is, if you want solid stability - you buy last gens cutting edge that is proven, and has had the problems worked out.
Some people still seem to think its 1995; A time when there was no doubt in Moore's law and 6→12 month upgrade with new machines at 24→36months was par for the course. 7 years is nothing now. Especially if you plan each new machine for reasonable longevity, using reputable brand name stuff and don't pushing the overclocks.(Think buying a truck not a weekend drag racing car.) I'm still getting solid work out of a Piledriver rig circa 2013 having one minor GFX card upgrade 5 years ago; though it is feature limited at this point, being PCIe2(44 lanes but HIP/rocm requires PCIe3 and up), no M.2 or USB-C, and no AVX2 or 512. It was only $500 for motherboard, CPU, PSU and case. Another $250(+$100 for replacement battery last year.) for a good UPS because my local power grid is janky and my renter uses trash tier AC that causes voltage dips every hour.
There is a significant standard for library books. It's a pretty cool read to understand and know what they require and what they've tested for and why.

Delta must have gone through a brief window of being useful.

There were not a plethora of alternate flights - and a stubborn step-father. The only good thing is we got a whole wide body jet almost to ourselves for the flight when it finally flew. That was the icing on the trip's cake. Meeting Nixon was "enh, so this girl I'd been swimming with all day had a father - and a lot of strange men hovering around him."

So I have a Ryzen 9 7950X and while I'll grant I don't play games very much, the few I do play use no more than 6% of the CPU. I have always been curious to know what games stress the CPU so much that an 8 core Ryzen won't be enough?
Because games dont stretch over 32 threads. And the ability to multithread is highly dependent on how fast the main render thread is being calculated. Most of the time, scaling across cores stops after 6/8 threads, and then it is entirely vertical (clockspeed, L3 cache, IPC). So eventhough you only see 6%, and you will never see a single core hit 100%, you can still be CPU bottlenecked.

Correct me if I'm wrong but entertainment is normally one sector that doesn't take a big hit during financial down turns/recessions. IIRC from studies done during the 2008 financial crisis, but I could be wrong. Pragmatic or prudent? No, but muh bread and circuses.
IMHO 2008 didnt hit as hard as 2020 and judging by the dramatic fall of quality of movies released since at least this sector got hit hard. Also, common logic says that when people have less money to spend they tent to cut on entertainment first.
@@adamkamieniarz9223 apples and oranges. 2020 hurt theaters because of distancing/gathering/masking policies. I never mentioned common logic, that's why the term counterintuitive exists.
@@adamkamieniarz9223 "The first was that movie attendance actually increased from 2008-2010 (along with ticket prices). Both increased by 10% from 2008-2010."
theater attendance will continue to dwindle, even in the rebounding from the virus. experts say we are more than likely entering into another recession, but even without (or despite of) that possible future, the movie industry will still suffer. People en mass are prone to habituation, and given the shift towards streaming at home vs going out, things will keep trending in that direction. That's not even taking into account the fact that hollywood loves to shoot itself in the foot every chance it gets by never betting on new IP and pushes remakes/reboots/sequels and increasing budgets despite the obvious abysmal results of that in recent years. They need to bring back the low-to-mid budget films. Invest in a dozen projects and at least one will more than cover the cost of the others if they fail/break even. This is just my opinion but it's backed up by substantial historical data.
Do not get me started on Roon ... the price is just insane and they are proud of their pricing. Though you can run it on "normal" hardware, an stream to a RPi which is running RoPieee(XL). But the price is just absolutly stupid. On the other hand the UI is fat and not very user friendly if you just want to play music.
I have a Sonos Playbar and two Symfonisks. ANd it took me 45 minutes last time for the POS app to detect them whilst they were lying next to me, and 1ft away from the router. And it also completely disables all Spotify features like sound normalizing, EQ's, gapless playback, etc. Its because I already have it, that I continue to put up with it. But if I was a new customer wew lad, I'd return that sht.

I sat and thought about a forever mouse. If it had options, upgrades and downgrades and a competitive price per mouse? It wouldn't be that bad...maybe...😊
100% it’s because of apples bottom line but also, have you met the average Apple user? How many would understand that web apps are deteriorating their battery life, and follow up, how many would just blame Apple?
The Sonos thing is reminding me how Google Music was better than TH-cam Music; but TH-cam music had more subscribers, so they kept the crappier product instead of feature merging. There are still things I could do with Google Music, you can't do with TH-cam Music.
Would be nice to get ahead of that mocap thing by the actors pre-capturing a TON of high quality movements, actions, FPS pov animations, etc then sell them at affordable prices that negate the studios from risking blowback from ripping people off......If they are really nice, maybe they would sell them cheaper to small dev teams using something like UE5. I am oddly passionate about supporting small dedicated teams developing PC only games that actually take full advantage of a PCs capabilities beyond visuals. I feel like we have been getting the same games over and over with slight visual improvements for the past 20± years...often at the expense of depth/detail, at least during the time between xb/ps generations...if not always. In some cases literally in the case of Skyrim. Anyway, that's the main body of my comment. I will add two more short things. One, is Rich Evens filming with his phone on again? And lastly, Krista, you would be invited to a party I throw! I wpuld even throw a party if you would come! 😊 PS: everyone knows that a device's thiness and battery life is all that matters 😁

great addon well worth switching browsers for, plenty of great browsers out there wouldn't even consider chrome the best browser
18:15 Tipping should not exist, it is up to employers to pay a fair wage, it is not up to customers to pay for products, or services, and then also be expected to tip staff so that they can afford to live. Thankfully that rubbish has still not really taken hold in Australia.
I agree that tipping should not be mandatory to make a living. But service is in the US in infinity better than the rest of the world. You don’t wait half an hour for your check to come after you ask for it like you do in Europe. There is good and bad w/ both ways of doing it.
All pay should be merit based. Some people are not worth a living wage from a single full-time job.
@@diggernash1And who decides if you’re “worth it”.
@Bob_Smith19 You and the employer when they offer a pay rate, and you voluntarily accept that pay rate.
@@Bob_Smith19 Europe isn't the rest of the world, and tipping should not be required for good service.
Day 6 of reminding Level1Techs to add podcast videos to the playlist.
Everything since the live stream has been missed!
Please guys, us audio podcast listeners have been missing out for weeks 😿
Wrong channel
Thank you for reaching out :) are you referring to something other than this playlist?

Lmk and I'll see what I can do to help ya ~ Amber
One thing people miss, in all the AIing motion capture work doomerism, is the plight of motion capture device markers: if production companies "capture everything once into a database" who will continue to buy better and better capturing rigs?
I wonder what will be the first profession that goes on strike and just never comes back because AI replaces them.
I had my dog slobber all over my homework in 4th grade. I told my teacher. Everyone laughed at me. I pulled a Ziploc from my backpack with my dog food crusted, can't read it through the saliva, homework out. They started laughing at and with her. Good times.
14:59 I remember that (and I removed Sonos from my wishlist after you guys covered it 🚫).
I have a sonos, and yes it got progressivly worse. My parents mostly use it for radio so they dont use the app and just press the button, but the app loggs you out after 2 weeks. Local play is fkd. Let me cast local stuff to it ffs. I use a free public radio, the stream is open and free, Why does tunein Inject their own ads in it... i Could add the stream myself, but sonos doesn't allow that :/
For work, we have to use chrome, but I have been testing ublock lite, and it still seems very effective.
Remember that the Roon PC has the special sauce that shields the 1s and 0s from interference and you get the best music fidelity available. 15:23
I don’t take Wendell for a hi-fi audiophile but I would love to see him dive into some of that tech!
Since thermostats got brought up, amazon actually enhanced the alexa one I have, and added using the echo dots as temp sensors. You can tell it it use/exclude specific ones, it's a really good idea. I actually got a $50 util rebate on the amazon/honeywell unit when it was on sale for $40, so even if they do brick it, not really out much.
31:10 So move all data to servers? No, thank you. Do regular local backups instead.
🧡💛🧡
So we need burn in tests that ramp up and down all sorts of variables instead of just pumping the hardware as hard as it can go.
In the 80s and 90s Delta had the worst crash record of all commercial airlines.
Thumbnail goes hard
Although I am just interacting cause the overlord likes it but I do hear a very faint audio *tap* or connection something. IDK its not bad just a heads up. Thanks for the news reread and commentary
You keep making my day.
I had a shower thought today, Cafe 80s from Back to the Future 2 would be easy to do now.
Switched from Plex to Jellyfin, not looking back.
I still dont buy it. It went from 1.6V VID requests to 1.55V. Is that really going to make it last significantly longer?..
Long enough to run out the warranty.
I have no idea for this specific case, but generally, if something's running near the bleeding edge, 3% either way can make a huge difference.
What browsers do you guys at level one tech L1 use?
Correct me if I'm wrong but entertainment is normally one sector that doesn't take a big hit during financial down turns/recessions.
IIRC from studies done during the 2008 financial crisis, but I could be wrong. Pragmatic or prudent? No, but muh bread and circuses.
IMHO 2008 didnt hit as hard as 2020 and judging by the dramatic fall of quality of movies released since at least this sector got hit hard. Also, common logic says that when people have less money to spend they tent to cut on entertainment first.
@@adamkamieniarz9223 apples and oranges. 2020 hurt theaters because of distancing/gathering/masking policies. I never mentioned common logic, that's why the term counterintuitive exists.
@@adamkamieniarz9223 "The first was that movie attendance actually increased from 2008-2010 (along with ticket prices). Both increased by 10% from 2008-2010."
theater attendance will continue to dwindle, even in the rebounding from the virus. experts say we are more than likely entering into another recession, but even without (or despite of) that possible future, the movie industry will still suffer. People en mass are prone to habituation, and given the shift towards streaming at home vs going out, things will keep trending in that direction. That's not even taking into account the fact that hollywood loves to shoot itself in the foot every chance it gets by never betting on new IP and pushes remakes/reboots/sequels and increasing budgets despite the obvious abysmal results of that in recent years. They need to bring back the low-to-mid budget films. Invest in a dozen projects and at least one will more than cover the cost of the others if they fail/break even. This is just my opinion but it's backed up by substantial historical data.
We have 30 year old thermostats. You set what temperature you want and then never touch it again.
The only thing I like about Chrome is the casting ability
I already liked you guys but after the DS9 reference I'm a diehard fan.
17:52 DS9 was such a good show. It's one of the funniest Star Trek shows, Quark in particular is an awesome character.
Do not get me started on Roon ... the price is just insane and they are proud of their pricing. Though you can run it on "normal" hardware, an stream to a RPi which is running RoPieee(XL). But the price is just absolutly stupid. On the other hand the UI is fat and not very user friendly if you just want to play music.
I have a Sonos Playbar and two Symfonisks. ANd it took me 45 minutes last time for the POS app to detect them whilst they were lying next to me, and 1ft away from the router. And it also completely disables all Spotify features like sound normalizing, EQ's, gapless playback, etc.
Its because I already have it, that I continue to put up with it. But if I was a new customer wew lad, I'd return that sht.
I updated my microcode last night. Still see instability like mad when Intel Turbo Boost is enabled
Hey, I have a VCR in need of TLC. What's the turnaround time?
The Andy Serkis moves are already in the LOTR games.
why is there soooo many automated spam? is it cuz I caught this vidd early?
no it's because you caught this video in 2024
Love the rlm background you should do a colab
About Apple hating WebApps. Yeah, that reminds me that while I hate they didn't, at least Mozilla was upfront about refusing to support Progressive WebApps
26:10 *laughs from librewolf*
I've never liked Chrome. Been a Firefox user for over 2 decades. Never saw a reason to switch. 🤷♂
I have an MSI board and unfortunately there's still no BIOS update for it. Sad times for me. CPU is already f***ed anyway, so will process the RMA once they make the new BIOS available for the MPG Z790I Edge WiFi ITX boards.😢
Chromecast was always hit and miss for the relatives I know that used it, they have since returned to the ancient tradition of 5 metre HDMI cable from the laptop to the TV.
5m? Laptops are portable, 1m is all that is needed.
Tip? Get a fake dollar and on the back scribble: Seabiscuit in the 6th...
1.21 Gigawatts!
Iron Fireman FTW!
I am quite surprised that an industry, that produces (and promises) items that offer "More Freedom" are either so complicated to maintain working, that you waste your entire "Freedom" to do it, or they become Illegal or insecure at some point, isn't marked for "false advertising". I don't see my "Freedom" or capabilities advancing to be honest. I might have more choices to choose from, but every option comes with its hoops and tripwires.
I sat and thought about a forever mouse. If it had options, upgrades and downgrades and a competitive price per mouse? It wouldn't be that bad...maybe...😊
VCR repair includes beta right?
100% it’s because of apples bottom line but also, have you met the average Apple user? How many would understand that web apps are deteriorating their battery life, and follow up, how many would just blame Apple?
Fapple
Yeah, not happy with SONOS.
the roon software is amazing
Already switched to Brave
The Sonos thing is reminding me how Google Music was better than TH-cam Music; but TH-cam music had more subscribers, so they kept the crappier product instead of feature merging. There are still things I could do with Google Music, you can't do with TH-cam Music.
Would be nice to get ahead of that mocap thing by the actors pre-capturing a TON of high quality movements, actions, FPS pov animations, etc then sell them at affordable prices that negate the studios from risking blowback from ripping people off......If they are really nice, maybe they would sell them cheaper to small dev teams using something like UE5.
I am oddly passionate about supporting small dedicated teams developing PC only games that actually take full advantage of a PCs capabilities beyond visuals. I feel like we have been getting the same games over and over with slight visual improvements for the past 20± years...often at the expense of depth/detail, at least during the time between xb/ps generations...if not always. In some cases literally in the case of Skyrim.
Anyway, that's the main body of my comment. I will add two more short things. One, is Rich Evens filming with his phone on again? And lastly, Krista, you would be invited to a party I throw! I wpuld even throw a party if you would come! 😊
PS: everyone knows that a device's thiness and battery life is all that matters 😁
I'm in europe and screen mirroring on apple devices has always worked for me. Never heard that it wouldn't?
I don’t blame Delta for not again trusting the security company with buggy kernel drivers after this disaster to come in and fix their servers.
Oh wow. Is that the front of the L1 HQ?
4:40 The "3D vcache" is not good for mining. Just thought those looking should know before splurging.
I really hope they keep up the chromebox things, they're great linux computers after flashing. Also happy firefox user here with ublock origin. It even blocks those annoying popup boxes on youtube videos with the right filter line.
Also lots and lots of layoffs in the video games sector...
Spam bots are quick as hell..
At least they're easy to identify, always ending in a couple of emojis.
Dell is using the last animation frame of the GameCube splash screen as a logo? They finna get sued by Nintendo 😂
25:56 _" __-Necessity-__ Profiteering is the Mother of Invention. "_
Google PR team: We're discontinuing the chromecast because technology has advanced immensely since 2013.
Google board: Chromecast is not hoarding enough personal data, turn spying to 11!
Woot!
still waiting on my VCR repair...
Have a Happy Hump Day! 🐫
