sponsorblock is your friend. It cuts so much trash out of videos.

I’ll second SponsorBlock. Not sure I could watch most YouTube videos without it.

evanriley commented on Tariffs result in 10% laptop price hike in U.S. says Acer CEO   tomshardware.com/laptops/... · Posted by u/pseudolus

So if people buy an acer laptop, acer makes more profit? Quick math - if a laptop is retailing for 1000 and acer makes it for 500(just a random number), due to the tariffs, acer has to pay 550(10% extra) to bring it to the US and now sells it for 1100 due to 10% hike?

profit before = 1000-500 = 500 profit now = 1100 - 550 = 550

So the company is making more profit from you now? What am I missing?

You're not missing anything. This is how every company has taken advantage of rising inflation and now tariffs.

How is them not supporting Safari not their fault?
evanriley · a year ago
Safari has a set list of search engines, you cannot add to or remove from the list.

They currently "support" safari currently by redirecting the searches that go to your chosen search engine to kagi.com with an extension.

Cheats and bots are ruining online games though.

And Kernel level anti-cheat isn't stopping them.

Why are we pretending starlink doesn't exist?
evanriley · 2 years ago
Are you pretending that Starlinks upfront cost of $599 and $120/mo is affordable for the community that this article is about?

I don't think it's a good alternative.

Via https://tailscale.com/kb/1106/taildrop:

- "Since Taildrop is an alpha feature, you’ll need to opt your network in to the test to use it."

- "Taildrop is only available on Synology with Tailscale v1.18.2".

- "Currently that means you need to manually install Tailscale on your Synology NAS."

Taking Occam's Razor to it:

- Buy Enterprise™ hardware to use alpha software.

- "more secure" has a prefix of "maybe" and a suffix of "(?)" in the comment recommending it

I'm ruling it out altogether.

You don't need any enterprise hardware to use taildrop.

> - "Taildrop is only available on Synology with Tailscale v1.18.2".

> - "Currently that means you need to manually install Tailscale on your Synology NAS."

Only apply if you're installing it ON Synology hardware, otherwise it is matter of installing the tailscale client and opting your network in.
