Not sure if this counts, but CGP Grey. The frequency of the videos was always a joke, but the most recent video is a 3 month old paywalled vid of an early preview for a video still unreleased publicly. I still enjoy the videos when they’re released, so it’s not the quality, but the channel is clearly on autopilot. I hope everything’s ok with him and maybe he’s just using YouTube as passive income now that he hit it big?

The one that got me was trying to make a grill scrubber made entirely in the US, failing to source all the parts domestically, being somewhat xenophobic in the process, and then having the audacity of selling the thing for $80 (or more) when the exact product exists already for half the price. At some point the whole point of the video changed from “rebuilding manufacturing in America” to “China bad”. I assume the attempt was in defense of the Trump tariffs, but the takeaway is the US is not in a position to manufacture things on a small scale, and throwing tariffs on it won’t change and people will just have to pay more to import items since they can’t be made locally.

From what I heard, they screen tested both versions of the movie, the directors version and the one edited by the trailer company, and both tested equally the same. Rather than defer to the director, they chose to take the scenes which tested the best in each version of the edit, and combine those together into the mess we saw.

I think your best bet is to disable suggesting any contacts from the system settings. The setting is called “Show contacts when sharing content” and will affect all apps. It’s not ideal, but there’s no way I can tell to ignore/dismiss specific contacts from the share menu.

Y’all heard of WorldCom?

it’s like poetry, it rhymes

Thank you for this post!!! I didn’t see the other ones and you were not on my blocklist yet.

This is in regard to motion smoothing which is enabled by default on modern TVs, and give the effect of a soap opera look. People think that it makes the video look better, but it’s just adding fake frames to display at a higher frame rate. Not a lot of people like this: https://variety.com/2022/film/news/motion-smoothing-how-to-shut-off-1235176633/

To make matters worse, all TV brands have their own name for this feature. This post is saying that when you go home for the holidays, this is the name of the motion smoothing in the settings to turn off for a better viewing experience the way the filmmaker intends.

I would go into the Outlook app and clear the storage and cache and see if that helps. If you don’t want any contacts to show in the list, you can disable “Show contacts when sharing content” if you search for this in settings.

Practice early for this lullaby to get the kid to sleep

Also if you are bottle feeding, you can figure out a night routine which will work for the first 3-6 months, assuming the baby wakes every few hours. What worked for us was if one person stayed up late, handling any feeding till 2am, and then the other person would wake up early and get the 5am and later feedings. Highly recommend to find some long running TV series that has like six seasons and a movie to watch during these times, since you will spend a lot of time doing this.

Once the victim clicks the link, they are taken to a fake Calendly landing page that presents a CAPTCHA, followed by an AiTM phishing page that attempts to steal visitors’ Google Workspace login sessions.

How is the phishing page able to steal the Google Workspace session? or do they mean it presents a fake login form to get username/password?

The Pico-8 version of Celeste inside of Celeste

This is how I got my PS4 for $3.50/pound

Some tweaker was huffing compressed air cans, but the kind that have the bittering agent to discourage people from huffing. The stuff got into the air and was very unpleasant for everyone. I had to get off at the next stop and wait for another train, I couldn’t breathe.

This might be a simple goof, but a lot of the layout in The Shining (intentionally) doesn’t make any sense. There’s some great analysis of the insane architecture of the hotel.

And at night

Before Youtube allowed long video uploads and before video Podcasts were a thing, I remember some early tech creators were creating long form videos around 2004-2005 and they would distribute episodes via BitTorrent, since it was most cost effective for them.

Right, I’m aware of tax companies doing this. I’m not sure if PII deletion services are doing the same, but they do benefit by having weak data protection laws. What I meant is it wouldn’t surprise me if data deletion companies are also lobbying against what’s best for Americans, the same way tax prep companies do.
