for one specific brand (specific model too ?)

Probably one platform (used for several models, sometimes shared between brands. For instance VW Polo, Audi A1, Seat Ibiza and Skoda Fabia are all based on the same platform).

Unless you have cars with modular battery packs, which do not exist right now.

It’s not literally part of the video, exactly because of what you describe. They are separate streams that get injected into the player before the normal video. You can’t skip them or interact with them in any way (pretty sure it also breaks any purchase links etc). Piped or Invidious don’t have them, ytdl also doesn’t download them.

As of now, afaik, you won’t see them if your account wasn’t selected for the experiment, if you are in incognito mode (with uBO on) or if you have uBlock Origin (and other adblockers) off (you’ll see the normal ads and then the video).

Otherwise, apply uBO new script if you get them

How it works is that once you start getting these Server Side Ads (SSA), Youtube will create a sort of queue of videos in place of your usual video, with the first few being ads that can’t be skipped and have a red bar (not yellow) and in the end you’ll get your video. They are not literally part of the original video stream, they are separate streams that get injected as if they were the original video. It’s called SSAP, and I’ve been experiencing it from the last weekend. In the meantime, they’ve pretty much broken their player to implement this.

Ublock Origin has released a temporary fix yesterday here

Alternatively, you can use this extension to redirect from YouTube videos to piped.video I used it, it works very well, can’t guarantee for much more.

edit: fixed wording

I don’t think you need to add any taxes. If the area is attractive enough to warrant a higher density redevelopment, just unlock it and it will get done.

I mean, if you are a developer and you know for certain there’s a lot of interest in a certain area and you know for certain that you could buy that big single family lot and make a 3-5 story building instead with 10-20 apartments, you’d be crazy not to offer double the market rate to get it and develop it as fast as possible.

Just need to change the law to allow redevelopment of single family areas into medium density.

Maybe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes in the sense that all communist countries are state capitalism, no in the sense that it betrays the very ideology of communism.

If you think about it it’s very much the same structure as a big business, with the “boss” at the very top, the party being the shareholders and executives swallowing all the profits and at the bottom are all the workers getting the shaft.

The main differences with normal capitalism is that the state here has an army, police and a full monopoly, so the party can literally do whatever they want to whoever they want within China. They don’t play by the rules, they write the rules, ie, a capitalist wet dream.

It’s not a bug, it’s 110% intentional and not only for the windows default screenshot utility. The whole pipeline is built in such a way to prevent you from taking screenshots or capturing video of a DRM protected player.

Even in Linux, afaik, you can’t simply take screenshots or record a Netflix movie playing in the browser. Yes there are ways, but not with the default applications (you need to break the encryption)

I think only the player is blocked, and would be shown in the screenshots as a black rectangle

If only that. This is much more invasive

Anything discontinued should stop being protected by copyright law, and the manufacturer should be forced to give every piece of information they have on that product.

I’m not sure the old new one is that much better than the new new one tbh. I always found it to be bloated af, especially with time it got worse and worse. Also, why are both sites so slow?

I’m sorry to hear that, but yeah, heroin is one hell of a drug ^/s

I bet you also sleep with a heavy blanket as if it were winter.

I got sick last time I was in the US cause everywhere was like 16°C while outside was like 30-35°C. What’s your problem, people?

I don’t know where you are from, but I’ve been to the US a couple of times and I can understand why the AC power bill can be absurd there. You cannot keep, in August, in the middle of the desert, AC at 18°C when outside there are 35-40°C. It’s criminal on so many levels.

I had a layover in Atlanta last summer and I got home sick, so much was the air conditioning in the airport and in shops and restaurants. Outside it was proper sweating hot, inside I was freezing while wearing a hoodie. I’ve been on a bus where the driver was wearing a heavy jacket, in August, and all because the bus AC was set to something like 15°C. What is wrong with Americans?

Keep AC at 25-27°C, remove all blankets and clothes when you go to sleep, and I bet you it will consume a lot less energy. Unless you live in the Death Valley, in which case, good luck.

It really depends on where you are. There are places where summer is the same temperature as some other place’s winter.

Also, I hate the fact that in winter you have to stay inside all the time, there’s no sun and everything is cold and sad. Spring and Summer are the times of the year when you travel, go out, enjoy nature and make memories.

And if you have a decently insulated home or AC, you can sleep great.

It’s like sex education and education about drugs and alcohol. It’s necessary information for kids, even if you don’t want them to do it, because if they don’t know anything about those things, they’ll end up with lots of problems.

Teach them how, why and why not, be honest and then trust them to make an informed decision on their own

Well, that would make some very interesting “consenting” cheese.

Love me some queso de mamacita

Or how people care soooo much about babies lives until they leave the uterus . After that, they can go die for all they care.

We also have it in Milan, but it can be put also before the sentence, same meaning though

“Fa freschino oggi, né?” or “Né che fa freschino oggi?” or in Milanese “Fà fregg incö, né?”

They all mean “pretty cold today, innit?”

I mean, it’s great for audio and video chats. What I never understood is why people started using discord as a forum, as documentation or as some kind of program (like, why is Midjourney on a public discord chat? It’s probably the worst possible interface).

Discord is excellent for chatting with your friends while playing games, and that’s it.
