Pi hole does not work for YouTube (or Twitch or many others). It doesn't work for services who distribute ads from their own servers.
If you had Android instead of iOS you may have been able to use an ad-free youtube client and cast to TV, but if you're streaming on the TV, or from iOS, I don't know how you'd go about blocking ads.
I don't follow. When you say magnetic cover, do you mean some of the newer models? Also, what does pressing the button to unlock it do? Does that turn on wifi or something? I have to press a button to turn my Kindle 4 "on" (aka remove the screensaver and show my book) but that doesn't cause an issue.
I have a Kindle paperwhite without ads, worth paying extra imo.
Pro tip: if you leave off wifi for long enough, the ads seem to expire and they're permanently replaced by some generic pencils image or something. And, since having wifi on can cause the kindle to overwrite your cover images, I sync with calibre over USB anyway. I have the ad-supported Kindle 4 from 2011 and haven't had ads on it since 2012.
Me too. The exact same app. I rarely open the play store with other app stores existing but good lord this is bad.
I'm not sure why people use anything other than Windows Defender. It literally shares signature databases with most of the large AVs, it doesn't have any anti-features or isn't itself malware/adware/spyware like commercial AVs, it's tightly integrated but also easy to turn on or off (ever tried to uninstall an AV?), and no commercial AV is going to catch anything Windows Defender won't. It's also free and has no need to make money as a product in itself, and so there's no motivation for bad behavior.
The only features some commercial AVs have that Windows Defender doesn't are things like DNS blocking or browser addons (which there are plenty of non-commercial/profit-motive-driven options for: uBlock origin, pi-hole/adguard home, etc).
You can tell malwarebytes is broken because it doesn't catch itself as malware.
Hmm fair enough. I suppose by looking at the encoding and container formats I can probably narrow it down to a couple choices for each one.
Awesome thank you so much. I'm glad it is going to be easy to fix then.
Now, one thing I'm not sure of is: how do I find the exact torrent to use? By now there's no way I have a magnet link or torrent file, and due to file renaming for my media library I doubt I'd be able to identify an exact release anyway.
Oh cool! I had considered that as maybe being an option but I wasn't sure if it would actually work or not. I can't afford a VPN right now so I wasn't going to try, I figured I'd go ahead and ask so when I can get one running I can jump right in.
Now, will it know the difference between "missing" and "corrupt"?
Pharmaceuticals is about the worst example you could pick to make a point. It's notorious for socializing the cost and privatizing the profit (not to mention the ethics of price gouging life saving medication treatments).
Here's what Johnson&Johnson is doing right now with a TB drug whose development was paid largely with public funding:
The pill, called bedaquiline, was first approved in 2012 as the first new TB drug in over 40 years and revolutionized treatment for drug-resistant infections. But its relatively high cost limited access in many low- and middle-income countries hit hardest by an epidemic that still kills around 1.5 million people every year, most of them among the world’s poorest. The company initially charged $900 per course in low-income countries, according to a 2016 report, but gradually lowered it to $340 three years ago.
The secondary patent particularly irked some advocates because the drug’s development was largely underwritten by public funds, according to a 2020 analysis. That study found public sector funds contributed $455 million to $747 million to getting bedaquiline to market, compared to $90 million to $240 million from J&J.
Yes. Go to their user page by clicking on their name, and click the Block User button.
Alternatively, you can go in to your User Settings page, and in the Blocks tab, you can search for users (and communities).
Correct.
