Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don't get much from my choices. It still did a pretty good job of showing me stuff I was interested in watching.
Then on Oct 1, they threw up a "You're using an Ad Blocker" overlay on videos. I'd use my trusty Overlay Remover plugin to remove the annoying javascript graphic and watch what I wanted. I didn't have to click the X to dismiss the obnoxious page.
Last week, they started placing a timer with the X so you had to wait 5 seconds for the X to appear so you could dismiss blocking graphic.
Today, there was a new graphic. It allowed you to view three videos before you had to turn off your Ad Blocker. I viewed a video 3 times just to see what happens.
Now all I see is this.
Google has out and out made it a violation of their ToS to have an ad blocker to view Youtube. Or you can pay them $$$.
I ban such sites from my systems by replacing their DNS name in my hosts file routed to 127.0.0.1 which means I can't view the site. I have quite a few banned sites now.
I've been out of it. What do we call "Master" and "Slave " drives now?
If you use a time machine to go back to 2001 when that was last a thing, you can still use the original terminology. Otherwise you will never need the terms since those concepts no longer exist for drives.
Outside of drives there are plenty of self explanatory terms like primary and secondary which work fine.
I wouldn't say they no longer exist... ide still occasionally used for optical drives...
I think the last two motherboards I've owned, purchased like 3 years and 8 years ago, did not even have a single IDE port.
