porkins, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

I don’t get ads. I don’t know why. I have YouTubeTV and get the splash when opening the app to buy Premium, but nonetheless don’t get any ads ever. I’m not looking a gift horse in the mouth and not questioning it.

LoafyLemon,

Some countries don't allow interruptive ads. Cherish it while you still can!

Just a tip for those of you that do cave to pressure and go with the paid premium option. or already have one but dont want to pay for more accounts or a family account.

You can set up channels or brand accounts as sub-accounts on a premium subscription and they will act like separate accounts with the advantages of premium, so if you have a large family and don’t want to pay for the full family subscription (which only has 5 slots anyway) you can set up a few sub-accounts that each get their own subscriptions, recommendations, settings and all have the premium features.

So if you want to make a premium account for a parent or child, you can do that with one single subscription if you can take the caveat of them being brand accounts rather than fully their own thing.

This works on things like Android TV or Google TV, but you need to log into the main account then switch to a sub account in the app, however, there is no authentication to switch between channel accounts this way, so it’s really only useable for families only. I use this at home to run 4 separate nvidia shield youtube apps with their own subscriptions and recommendations on one single premium payment.

I expect they will change how that works in the future to remove the loophole, probably by charging for channel accounts or having it locked behind some kind of overpriced professional usage tier, but for now, it might be a good option for some.

Thorny_Thicket,

Many people have also said if you set your location to for example India when signing up for premium you’ll get it basically for free compared to what it’ll cost in europe and it’ll keep working even if your location is elsewhere from there on.

Yes indeed, and google get less money. however there are some signs that companies are starting to crack down on that.

I use Turkey, it’s around $2.50 per month for the 6-person plan.

lemann,

Admiral is the worst kind of anti adblock there is.

They buy thousands of domains at a time, with individually corresponding Google Cloud IPs to evade adblock lists. Real pain in the ass to block them, they also DMCA community blocklists containing their domains

ramjambamalam,

Sounds like DMCA abuse to me. You can’t copyright a fact. In this case, the fact that these IPs are used by a company is a fact.

RogueBanana,

When has that stopped anyone from abusing it anyway…

ArmokGoB,

People should tell them to kick rocks.

The irony of this poll blocking access from users with a VPN.

Yep, I can’t vote because I have a VPN.

Thorny_Thicket,

Huh… Worked for me

LoafyLemon,

No problems with Mozilla VPN

Moonrise2473, w all but abandonedware

It happens when investment funds buy software houses thinking they got a goose that can lay golden eggs. So they layoff everyone and outsource support, thinking idiot users will continue to buy a new update license every year where the changelog is a different icon and three new bugs. Actual development died two decades ago but pricing increase every year to make up for “lost” sales

Fuck KKR

LocustOfControl,

KKR?

Moonrise2473,

It’s an investment fund that has that behavior

Xianshi, w Whats your preferred codec?

I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.

Kidnose,

This. I actually went the opposite route to OP, replaced everything 265 to 264 to avoid playback issues. My content is played on many different devices so 265 simply won’t cut it.

danielquinn,
@danielquinn@lemmy.ca avatar

What kind of devices won’t play x265? I’ve got some rather old hardware and it seems to work just fine on everything.

IceSeaHunter,

I sometimes stream from my 2014 ultrabook to my TV… never had a problem with x264, but some x265 encodings cut out/freeze/lag during scenes where a lot is happening (motionwise)

ArcaneSlime,

Same, laptop from '15, TV from '09. If you’re on linux what did you use to reencode, ffmpeg? Never even occurred to me I could do that lol.

IceSeaHunter,

I’ve been using Handbrake for a while now - albeit on Windows. It is available for Linux but I can’t guarantee it’s the exact same experience.

Stephen304,

For me the math worked out that it was cheaper to get a nuc with quick sync than to pay for the extra storage h264 uses, it’s less than half the bitrate (usually ~2Mbit for 1080 compared to 8+), I have 23TB of content and my Intel nuc power efficiently transcodes to h264 on demand if the device needs it.

Very good. It will be nice to be off YouTube completely.

jessica, w I got some malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited as a warning

I didn’t get malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited:

getfirefox.com

BrandoCalrissian9229,

I have firefox as it were

jessica,

That’s interesting. Less than one minute after posting this, you said you used Brave.

BrandoCalrissian9229,

indeed. I use both. I happen to have brave AND firefox on my laptop, as I’ve been making the transition to firefox the last few months. I’m entirely on firefox on my desktop, but I mainly use brave on my laptop. I used it to stream the aforementioned things on Saturday

mayo, w I got some malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited as a warning

This was a popup in browser only? Closing browser closed popup?

BrandoCalrissian9229,

so the way it worked was that it would only open the popup when the browser was opened and it would open it in a separate window. I could close it out but upon restarting the browser the popup would come back up.

After this I performed a scan with windows defender, which found and quarantined two things it labeled as trojans, and then with malware bytes, which found a couple of other bits of malware that I can’t remember how it was labeled. Seems like it’s all cleaned up now

mateomaui, w I got some malware yesterday, here are the sites I visited as a warning

noted, don’t use a website that calls itself sus

BrandoCalrissian9229,

as it were, I wouldn’t have, but it was in the FMHY wiki as a starred site, so I figured it was trusted

Appoxo,
@Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Never trust anything that’s usually paid?

BrandoCalrissian9229,

it wasn’t actually netflix, it’s literally a site like Fmovies but with the name susflix??

R1dley2, w Any sites or torrent sites to download mac apps?

I like macbed

FastEddieB, w 5th Edition D&D books?

Soulseek is typically for music but I’ve found D&D pdfs there too.

Keeboy, w Is movie-web down for anyone else?

Try vpns or other browsers but you can always just host it your self

Anticorp,

Is there a git repo for the code?

zipzoopaboop, w Has YouTube Blocked Your Adblocker Yet??

Firefox and ublock as usual, still good

seathru, w all but abandonedware

Be the change you want to see. Crowdsource a license, crack it, and set it free

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

There has to be an example of that happening but I can’t find one. Can you think of anything?

Sharpiemarker,

It has a ring of familiarity to it.
