Almost like we should focus on making the US better / competitive instead of trying to succeed by blocking others.

Don’t we get a ton of components and raw materials required for EVs from China already?

Crazy random crap breaking!

Latest thing I noticed is at least with the home devices you can no longer get who/what band is playing.

It only tells you the song name. The band/artist is the primary reason I ask, not the song title.

Ya, my TV is actually ‘smart’ but I use the Nvidia shield through an AV receiver which feeds 5.1 speakers and the TV.

There are android apps (I could side load) on my Nvidia shield, but like I said I don’t mind paying for something I use , and use a lot.

I can tell you why I do. I watch more YT than anything else (on my TV), and don’t want to watch ads, or play cat and mouse games trying to prevent them. I also listen to a lot of music, and use YT Music. I pay for the family plan, since we all listen to music, and my son and I watch a lot of YT (very different videos on YT however :) )

I get, there’s a growing group of people that think everything should be free, but I’m OK paying for something I use a lot, to remove ads. There should, however be more controls for paid users, like controlling whether or not you see creator ads, shorts, etc…

I’m ok that they show their true colors. Let’s hope that the majority of Americans in her district have higher moral values and vote her awful ass out.

Smells like another test that’ll end in a year or so leaving the Tablet to rot.

I still have one actively used Nexus 7 in my house. Used as a weather station display on our countertop.

Probably wouldn’t buy another Google tablet until it was well established a generation or two in. Certainly know better than to early adopt anything they put out.

Sounds like this would at the very least remove $20-30m in revenue (according to the article) not counting if the copyright holders decide to go after them.

I think it puts them in a precarious situation overall.

I no longer have to daily drive mine so as I said I hope it lasts a LONG time!

Makes me glad my, going on 17 year old Toyota will likely run forever and is as dumb as a box of rocks regarding this stuff.

I still think premium should allow you to block sponsors. YT should make them be sections that are removable.

why is incognito transmitting anything to anyone. Glad I switched to FF a while back.

Oh ya for sure. I deleted my account, and moved here never intending to look back. I have clicked on a couple reddit links since I left but I really try not too. Like I’d say 5 times maybe. In the end if I need info and that’s the only place…

I just, don’t visit reddit anymore.

Problem solved…

So, before reading the comments I copied a bit of text and was literally going to say “so, DEI” which is of course is one of the huge complaints with GOPers

Supporters of the measure say it will make universities more accepting of conservative students and academics. But many professors worry the law could put their careers in jeopardy for what they say, or don’t say, in the classroom.

Quite rich…

I made the decision to block it a while ago so I don’t visit it. In fact, it’s blocked at the DNS level inside my house right or wrong. Wish I could laser in on YT Shorts / FB reels to cut/block them. I wish as a paying customer of YT I could disable shorts from my feed longer than 30 days.

I watch a TON of longer form YT, and while, of course, there is algorithm in play here, I have 100s of subscriptions and mostly watch those channels exclusively. I branch out when I’m just filling time mindlessly or the available content is watched with my wife and she’s not here etc…

I’m sure I blocked tiktok when it was only short form. I also did it so my son couldn’t get to it. Until he got an iPhone he was completely prevented from installing/visiting it. My wife now controls this parental bits (as a fellow drone… Err, iPhone user), and while the app is not allowed on his phone, I’m not sure if he can get to it via the browser.

I’m old(ish) so maybe I’m out of touch but I don’t see anything good from any short form video. Tiktok, YT shorts whatever. I hate them all.

It’s like we’re trying to train people to have ADD.

Mine has like 165k. First vehicle I bought myself new. SR5 is just the middle package. They had the low trim as no named, SR5 then limited.

I got mine from Jim Barkley (brand new). Six hour drive. I drove down there in a 1999 Chevy S10 ZR-2 and traded it in and bought the Tundra. I was there like 30-45 min and I financed it with them. Jim Barkley is gone now, but that was such a pleasurable experience for a car buying experience.

Still love this truck!

2008 Crewmax SR5, bought new 12/2007. I feel exactly the same way.
