Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I've never looked at Silverstone, but most of their designs are not half bad.
Also, having the side panel off is the coolest thing you could have in a case. Reminds me of my childhood when my much older brother and my much much older father, both of whom were computer engineers at the time, were constantly tinkering with the home computer so the side panel was always off :D
You're absolutely correct, and in my experience authors with physics background are even worse.
I've seen algorithms that I know by heart, understand fully and have implemented tens of times represented in such a way that I can't even recognise them.
+1 I'm surprised nobody else mentioned it. Alpine seems to be able to run on anything.
And I'd guess that's done in the backend instead of the frontend. They should be able to know how many times their server steamed a part of a video.
Well, it does harm creators, as they may get less money. The same goes for adblockers.
Then again I don't really understand why would you care about being "shamed", especially by a company that charges money for a frontend using YouTube's (extremely expensive) servers for free.
Take it with a grain of salt, as I can't provide any sources and I'm not a YouTube content creator. I just remember some channels sharing than.
I completely agree with you, and that's the reason I block them as well. I was just trying to give an explaination for the app's behaviour.
As I've mentioned in another thread, I believe YouTube provides analytics on this (hence the "most replayed" parts for some videos), and I'm certain I've seen some creators mention sposors requiring that information before a deal is made. So it may really hurt some small youtubers that can't rely on merchandise sales.
That said, I personally use sponsorblock as I don't feel like wasting my life on nordvpn ads, but I have to admit sponsor segments are a whole lot better than regular YouTube ads.
Edit: And as I far as I know they pay much better than regular ads.
I believe YouTube provides analytics on this to the creator which may be shared with a potential sponsor before a deal is made.
I believe this is because sponsor segments are like traditional TV ads. They don't use trackers, they are not targeted and they respect your privacy.
My model, and I believe all other, have a 4pin molex connector for the power and as many sata ports as the rack can handle (in my case 4). My "mobile rack" came with 4 rather long sata cables (about 30cm) so it was easy to fit them through an empty pcie bracket slot and I just had to buy a somewhat long 4pin molex adapter.
The drives are practically internal, they are just located outside of the case in said "mobile rack".
That's kinda the point, I can't really have any aesthetic I want. Unless I CNC my own case, I'm limited to what case manufacturers sell, which, in my opinion, is mostly bland boxes. or even worse, some sort of an LED aquarium that the components have to live in.
The thing is I'm not really set on any performance target yet. It might seem like I want to have my cake and eat it too, and I probably do, but I just want to know that I could put whatever I want into the case and not be limited by some proprietary standard.
