mountain dew is for me and you
Popped another Natural Ice. Thought that was my cue π€£
Sounds like somebody isn't using their health insurance mandated Google(c) 3-in-1 glucose, stool, and sleep monitor.
The next thing after DRM will be ARM (Attention Rights Management). The camera will be used to verify that you are paying attention to the ads, otherwise no content for you.
This is how the ADHD Freedom Fighters are born. One day, we will cast off the shackles of
The will to finish a sentence is weak with this one
Youtube already has ARM! If you watch a playlist and go AFK youll get a "are you still watching?" message and the video pauses
I completely agree. That being said, it could be pretty easily argued that they want to save on server costs or something about model training accuracy on your watch history degrading due to you not deciding what to watch
Itβs server costs, same reason that discord ends calls with only one person after a few minutes.
Or they just make you take a quiz after the ad. If you get any questions wrong, then you have to watch another ad.
Ok, now calm down there satan...
The scary part of what you just said is how I esealy see one of those corpos reading your comment and thinking "good idea why didn't I think of that".
Please drink verification can
Not trying to make it sound like it wouldn't be a really bad thing but it would be pretty easy to circumvent. Just emulate a webcam that only shows a static image of some random dude staring into the camera. That one image of Linus would be perfect for that.
Unless they check to see if the image is moving, which in the basic case would be easy to do. Of course, that can be defeated by substituting the still image with a short loop (presumably edited to eliminate any discontinuities), but that just escalates the arms race. Eventually, using an ad-funded website would involve volunteering one of your GPU cores to run a machine-learning model for authenticating camera video, and thatβs just the price, along with accepting tracking cookies and disabling ad blockers.
Drink a verification can.....
If anyone runs into this popup, make sure your uBlock Origin is up-to-date, and that you donβt have any other adblock extensions installed (disable the one in Enhancer for YouTube as well). Then, make sure you clear your filter listsβ cache in uBlock, and update them. This should allow you to block the popup. If it comes back again after a few days, repeat.
did you read the post
I did. Just thought Iβd pop this here anyways, especially given the title.
cool.
Also sorry for the harsh tone, I didn't really mean it
All g, not a problem.
Genuinely good advice that I am saving for my own reference. Thank you.
He a little confused but he got the spirit

That works for AD block, but the cam block is the issue.
Install unlock origin extreme! They now use quantum computers to break YouTube's DRM locks and allows free content!
Not sure that I should take advice from Darth Vader.....
Something, something, and the children/younglings.
If they can figure out how to enable the camera on my cameraless pc, thatβs just impressive.
I donβt even use a proper monitor I use a 6 year old budget tv screen. I see no camera lens on that thing.
Itβs not about a camera, but I have read something about using a hard drive as a microphone by detecting the vibrations of the head. Here is a short article I found about this: https://hackaday.com/2019/03/13/hackers-turn-hard-drive-into-microphone-that-can-listen-in-on-your-computers-fan-whine/
The article makes it sound like it doesn't really work
Yeah, but it is a cool proof of concept. Iβm sure that in the following years the tech will get better and something like this might be a viable spying solution, but hdds are luckily dying out in private PCs
That's it! You've done it now..! π
Why have three monitors when you can have one giant screen
I just made a post similar to this, a bit better editing. But my joke wasn't as funny.
