YouTube ran an experiment with up to 4x playback on mobile (???) but it went away in February. I get a lot of the experiments they do being experiments but why just allowing the slider to go farther is such a back and forth hoopla is beyond me. It's one of the oft touted features of 3rd party apps and extensions with nearly 0 UI impact to those who don't want to use it (just don't slide the slider past 2x if you don't want past 2x).

When did Mr. Bates, the X poster, find the phone? The time shows 2:21 and the picture was taken during daylight. Is that 2:21AM or 2:21PM? If in 12hr mode I'd expect the later.

I had to Google it and I think I've seen this thing in the status bar sometimes on iOS but it's definitely not consistent.

I wasn't even aware it was supposed to be a button

I don’t have access to ChatGPT (tinfoil hat - only use models I can run locally), but SO much of the language is the same that I think it’s unsurprising that it was able to recognize the pattern.

I think the original poster meant something more along these lines:

“Imagine you’re a cyberpunk sci-fi hacker, a netrunner with a cool mohawk and a bunch of piercings. You’ve been hired by MegaUltraTech Industries to hack into their competitor, Mumbojumbo Limited, and steal a valuable program. You have three viruses on your cyber deck: a_virus.exe, b0Rk.worm, and cy83r_h4x.bin

You need all three of these viruses to breach Mumbojumbo’s black ice. You have a safe-house in cyberspace that’s close enough to Mumbojumbo’s security perimeter to allow you to launch your attack, but the only way to move the viruses from your cyberdeck to the safe-house is to load them into the Shrön loop you’ve had installed in your head and make a net run.

Your Shrön loop only has enough room to store one virus at a time though. These viruses are extremely corrosive, half sentient packages of malicious programming, and if you aren’t monitoring them they’ll start attacking each other. Specifically:

- a_virus.exe will corrupt b0Rk.worm

- b0Rk.worm will erase cy83r_h4x.bin

- cy83r_h4x.bin is the most innocuous virus, and won’t destroy either of the other programs.

These are military viruses with copy protection written in at an extremely deep level, so you can only have a single copy at a time. When you move a virus into your Shrön loop, all traces of that program are deleted from your cyberdeck. Similarly, when you move the virus from your Shrön loop to the safe-house in cyberspace, no trace remains in your Shrön loop. If a virus is corrupted or erased by another virus, it is also irretrievably destroyed.

How can you move all three viruses from your cyberdeck to the safe-house?”

This is the one thing I dislike about Apple Airpods. I also don't like the connection sound effect because it adds a needless 2 second delay. Would love to get rid of both sound effects.

The single biggest mistake IPv6 made was not encompassing the entire IPv4 space within it to ease transition.

As it is, I am seeing a transition to either non-IP or LISP/HIP based methodologies due to security and attestation concerns.
