In 2008, Robert Wang, Yi Qin, and one other friend, all former employees of Nortel in Ottawa, Canada, started working on designs for the Instant Pot.[4] Wang is credited as the inventor of the Instant Pot.
Apparently, the Instant Pot is out of Canada, interestingly enough.
If your phone is Android, NewPipe is an open-source, third-party client that permits setting quality. It’s on F-Droid (the big open-source app repository) if you use that, and probably on Google Store as well.
Thanks.
EDIT: There isn’t an --embed-auto-subs, but there is a --write-auto-subs.
I’m not really following video DRM, but my understanding is that Widevine won’t run in a VM with a virtualized video card like that.
Fair enough.
I mean, you don’t need anything; it’ll work with no flags. I have these:
$ cat ~/.config/yt-dlp/config
--embed-subs
--embed-metadata
--embed-chapters
--embed-thumbnail
--sponsorblock-mark=all
$
That’ll just embed some useful metadata in the file.
You might try again. I was blocked for a couple weeks after I pulled a bunch of videos from a channel using yt-dlp, and for a while YouTube required an account (which I will not get) from that IP. But a couple weeks later, things were working again.
If Google really wants to, they can crack down on yt-dlp, and I assume that if enough people are using it, they’re likely to do such a crackdown. Like, this works for the moment, but…
Nebula seems like it has the same types of videos I like to watch.
I mean, Nebula is commercial service and I assume that they’d profile, the same as YouTube. Like, if you’re okay with that, you can get YouTube Premium.
Of course, I can get into PeerTube as well.
I’m still skeptical that this is going to scale sufficiently either in bandwidth or in amount of content.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitch_McConnell
He served from 2007 to 2025 as the leader of the Senate Republican Conference, including two stints as minority leader (2007 to 2015 and 2021 to 2025), and was majority leader from 2015 to 2021, making him the longest-serving Senate party leader in U.S. history.
He hasn’t been the Senate majority leader for a while, which is why he got some of his prominence.
I wouldn’t really expect that there’d be news about him in 2025 more than there would be another senator.
I have, before, posted one item that I thought was interesting on !technology@beehaw.org to !technology@lemmy.world, as I know that beehaw.org has defederated from lemmy.world and the item was interesting and otherwise lemmy.world users wouldn’t have seen it.
I don’t think that I’d try to mirror the complete content of a community, though. I mean, different communities may have different interests.
Heh. And the person you’re responding to deleted their comments…

Strait Of Hormuz: High Stakes, Low Odds
Hard-line media and several officials have again raised the possibility of closing the Strait of Hormuz – a move that would threaten nearly a fifth of the world’s oil supply. But Gregory Brew, a senior Iran and oil analyst at the New York-based Eurasia Group, says it’s a threat Tehran is unlikely to carry out.
“Closing the strait is Iran’s last big card to play,” Brew told RFE/RL. “It has the means of essentially blockading the waterway…by deploying short-range ballistic missiles, naval vessels, and mines.”
But attempting to blockade the strategic strait would have major ramifications, such as “immediately” triggering a response from the United States and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
“If war with Israel is proving very damaging, war with the US (and the GCC) would be much worse,” Brew said.

I can understand someone complaining that it wasn’t Fallout 5, but I definitely think it deserved a higher Steam rating.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen my grandparents angry in my life.
EDIT: Honestly, my in-person experience with people who are like…70+ is that they’ve been pretty mellow. Maybe they go off and rage in private or something, but hasn’t been where I see it.
I have ad blockers on, so I wouldn’t know if it was. The same user also submitted a similar article on the same domain that looks like it’s been mangled by an LLM that’s a copy of a real article, like this submission. My guess that I put in a comment there was that maybe the aim is to get a bunch of links on link aggregators to the domain to boost its ranking, that the aim is maybe not spamming us but trying to exploit our reputability to spam search engine users down the line. Otherwise, why not have a “news-sounding” domain? Like, this is a domain name you’d choose if you were trying to spam people trying to buy something.
