An important distinction. Louis the cat also runs a youtube channel, but it's more focused on paddling and walks.

@kornaros96 That just goes to show it's not even the adhesive that is the problem. It's that Samsung won't sell you a battery without gluing a screen to it first.

Very rarely an ad campaign produces something worthwhile. For instance, Honda's "The Cog". I'm not going to buy that car, nor will I go out of my way to select any Honda product, but the chain reaction was beautiful.

I have a Thinkpad that had the same type of problem. Power switch in the keyboard shorted out (yes, the famous sealed and spill-protected keyboard).

@darekm6859 I can see why you think real friends are hard to come by and assume others don't have them.

@hubertnnn Stop trolling. Lying is not clever.

@nickb3968 Ridiculous straw man rhetoric. You may want to evoke some slogan claiming "regulation bad", but it's only a category of tool. For instance, there's a little regulation that says you should be able to pay your debts with money. Another forced black people to sit at the back of the bus. Another said you can't own people. Right and wrong aren't dictated by where the rules are written.

@nickb3968 How long did it take you to compose that deranged and entirely misdirected rant? It wasn't time well spent.

Are you talking about the Motorola that sold phones where incoming calls didn't get stored in a call history? That Motorola taught me that there's no feature too basic for a manufacturer to skimp on.

@shin-ishikiri-no I copied the relevant sentence from Mozilla Support into the original post (2nd in this thread) for more clarity. Note this is just the most obvious part; I haven't gone searching for how much they're not talking about. A "CDM" is some sort of DRM plugin.
1
... And, yet again, Youtube shadowbans me for editing a message. Can't have clarifications or references! There were more details in Mozilla's support pages; note that the feature is at least documented as behaving differently on Linux and Windows.

You have a skewed image of US politics, it seems. "Sexual item" rates worse than "sexual harassment", which in turn rates worse than terrorism (biological or not). Yep, shaping up as yet another case of law being broken because law is insane. (Yes, I'm aware US isn't uniform. Consider this tongue in cheek, though I'm not telling whose cheek nor which kind.)

It's interesting how many sites think a full page coverup preventing any use of their site is totally critical and a better option than just not storing meaningless identifiers on every visitor's computers. They just think tracking has to be done, and precisely that clumsily, no matter what.

This certainly marks the difference between plain poor design and designed to actively fight against usability. The latter is what all DRM is; you get to pay for your stuff to not work.

@ribzer57 He didn't buy this printer; it was sent to him by the manufacturer, which is why he tagged it as a sponsored video.

@ribzer57 Sorry, I was missing some context. Yeah, they might be able to use that. As you say, it could save the expense of getting another piece of equipment. It might be worth replacing it simply to be rid of the brand; that's a personal value judgment and possible message. It could also be of interest to have just one brand of printer driver (wouldn't it be lovely if one was actually nice?). There's also value in keeping things from becoming waste. Plenty of reasons on either side, many of which are subjective.

I for one would prefer to buy hardware not specifically sabotaged to fight against me as owner and the actual purpose of the device.

Supply flexibility. If you only need e.g. standard ONFI Flash, no controllers, it's easier to make storage modules by demand or opportunity. Of course, that didn't require making the controller need separate configuration.

@mjc0961 "Smart" devices remove controls like that to "encourage" installing the spyware app. And then they claim that's both convenient and pretty.

@deenot4878 You sound like the sort of person who gets upset about someone wishing you a good night.

 @justme5384 We'll just hope that VMware and the firmware vendor of your servers didn't choose to do this sort of thing to you.

Guess what the most effective advertising model around is? Shareware. Basically "the first hit is free", usually a portion of the program is free and you request payment for the rest. You may have heard of it as demos. Apps don't need ads and never have. Secondly, there are absolutely a lot of things shared freely. Sadly, Youtube's model isn't of the teasing kind, it's of the extortion kind; they're degrading what they already provided instead of offering more.

This is worse than not giving options; they've actively destroyed those options, a specifically anti-competition (and markedly anti-customer) sabotage.

PS3 was pretty nice, except the times they launched "updates" specifically to destroy the features I bought it for. Sony is absolutely nobody's friend.

Ryan George has left a helpful walkthrough of the Amazon shopping experience here on YouTube, titled "What Shopping On Amazon Feels Like".

It's not because it's 720p the stream looked like crap. It's because Netflix specifically choose to make it crap, by compressing it to lower bit rates than a DVD (and with lower encoding effort). 720p on its own would look rather fuzzy, not blocky. Just another way they actively choose to screw their customers over. Every company touching DRM is sending you a clear signal; if you try to make a deal with them, they will screw you over and accuse you first.

Another detail is how the shadow banning system works. Youtube don't delete comments when one account posts 60 copies of the same message in reply to every top level comment. They do delete my comments without warning if I edit to include a source reference.
