You’re right I should have said “”accidentally””

If you overclock it and it starts to crash Intel say “sorry warranty void”, if Intel accidentally overclock it and drastically reduce its life “…”

I’ve not kept up to date with this but wasn’t the problem that as soon as you run these CPUs they are getting permanently damaged? Surely they have to recall them?

I did I only ever enabled one at a time. They all had their issues with Twitch and YT blocking though. I’ve not found a solution for Twitch that works well, so I just sub to the occasional streamer now.

I use Firefox for general browsing and clear all cookies and history every shutdown. The problem I had was I had been rotating UBO, ABP, AdBlock, ghostry, Twitch Ad Block etc. and they all kept messing up browsing, YouTube, or Twitch in one way or another.

Brave was the only one to not fail on YouTube at any time in the last year, so I kept it just for YT.

Thanks for the details…

if I don’t use their rewards program and they still block ads then it’s a win-win for me.

A founder with despicable views is not great, but again by using his product but not the monitization features I’m not really contributing anything to him.

Chrome with a fancy skin that blocks ads… is there another trusted browser that does the same thing with chrome level security that I can try? Even Edge is Chrome with a fancy skin now.

Just to clarify I do not browse with Brave, I only use it as a launcher for YouTube.

Can you expand on this? Is Brave doing any shady stuff by default?

Lol- I even spelt it wrong… what are you talking about? Do you mean Brave rewards for allowing advertising?

I don’t have any ads enabled afaik, wouldn’t even know how to turn that on. Never been interested in crypto, only interested in ad-free browsing.

If you have some info about nefarious things Brave is doing by default let me know.

I nearly bought premium for the family this year, decided to show everyone how to install breve browser instead, and no issues so far.

The way I look at it is the YouTube Capitalism profit line must go up… the longer we all delay that from happening the better, and if it is expensive in the future I can offset it against my savings today, or subscribe to Nebula, or some other platform if they really take the piss with the price.

Some power tips…. F12 opens and closes the console window, and in Brave browser at least it remembers your last command so you can just press the up arrow and enter to run the last command. YouTube will reset to 2.0x on each new video as that is their highest value. There are browser extensions that can do all this for you but every new extension is another possible attack vector or potentially malicious party you are adding to your digital world.

Er… I’ve only ever tried 2.x-3.x.

All work… some creators speak fast and I’m limited to 2.8, but others I have at 3.5 or 3.8.

Not pushed it further than that but if you want to try 1.7*10^308 you do you my dude!

TBH it’s well worth the 30mins… or 15mins at 2x… or if your Chrome console-fu and listening skills are high enough just 10mins with “$(‘video’).playbackRate=3.0”

Ok you, spit that crayon out and sit in the corner.

These devices always remind me of these guys trying to make Solid State Refrigerant:

I suspect they fall into the same category of “neat concept but commercially useless”

Just because you want it to be hot back there doesn’t mean we all do.

Anyone that even for a second thinks option B is correct, needs to find a corner and think about their life choices for a few hours.

174k on that plug would be pretty good going. I’ve seen them under 150k where the negative has worn down to the bend.

100% agree, we are in a far better situation now. I was really hoping he would be beyond reproach, and we could completely turn a corner on the the political sleaze, even if it is just a few suits and football tickets.

I know you’re right, but if it wasn’t for Apple dropping iOS support the X is still a perfectly good phone. I’m seriously considering waiting another year and hoping my banking apps continue to work.

Ironically I did think about getting the Apple Watch X for the first time, but they all require a minimum of the iPhone Xs

The preferential treatment was that the body cams were just muted during the cover up and not all accidentally turned off for the entire encounter, not getting beaten up, tased or shot.

I mean as far as preferential treatment goes I’d take that deal, but the fact remains he was pulled out of his car, roughed up, taken to the floor and handcuffed for 18minutes for no reason when the cop should have been writing him a (dubious) ticket.

There are at least 2 cops here who should not be cops and the rest need to be retrained to ensure they step in if they see mistreatment like this again, for face being fired.
