  • Just sharing my experience here as well. I bought a Dell gaming monitor - it was a TN panel with gsync and 144hz it was quite expensive at the time.

    Anyway, that piece of shit was replaced 5x under warranty. Faulty panel, backlight dying, lots of issues with input ports, broke firmware, etc. their warranty and service was top notch, but that was a lot to go through with a $500 piece of equipment. I bought an LG after that one died and have had 0 issues.




  • You probably already know but there’s a good extension for returning the dislike button that a lot of people seem to use. And another one for skipping sponsored content automatically and it also adds a highlight button that will skip to what is presumably the point of the video (why you clicked) as well as ublock origin.

    Between that and the improved algorithm my YT experience is so much better.


  • I’m not sure what happened, but my algorithm is on fire lately (in a good way). I frequently get recommended quality videos with very little engagement and not many views. Smaller gaming channels, car enthusiast videos, short <20 second videos that are hilarious and remind me of early YouTube.

    It looks like other people are getting these as well because they will be 5-6 year videos with 10k views and all the comments are from this last month.

    The whole experience is very much “early YouTube” and I’m here for it. My front page used to be all from the same dozen channels but I have so much more variety now.

    I’m allergic to cats but grew up with one (she lived to 21!) and my fiance has a cat and we moved in together. It’s fine I just have to keep the cat away from my face and I wash my hands after petting her.

    Even if I don’t I just get really itchy, it’s not the worst. Worth it for the pets and cuddles.

    Awww… reminds me of my Husky, she really mellowed out in her elder years and I got a small stuffed brontosaurus toy from the shop. She treated it like a baby and would carry it around, and we’d make a game of hiding it and letting her find it.

    Rest in peace Hannah 🥲
