Also here to complain about the missing link for the 900 tests.

What an absolutely wild post.
 
Everything you said is either demonstrably wrong or only partially true to the point it seems like you're doing it on purpose.

Nope. Because installing them interferes with the benchmarks.
 
If you are going to benchmark a computer, you turn the internet gateway off. Either unplug the entire computer from it, or you only plug it into a USB ethernet device that has a MAC that has been blacklisted from crossing the internet gateway.
 
Let me explain this another way. Have you tried to use GPU-Z, GeekBench, 3DMark, or anything else that lets you compare your pc against another? That requires access to the internet, and that is usually via a CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) or by launching the default browser. If it's the former, installing extensions in one CEF, can impair other CEF's (like Steam, Epic, and EGS)
 
Now on the flip side of that argument. There is no reason to run adblock. Period. People have been told the reason their internet experience is so crappy, is because of ads, but it's really because they've installed adblock and now the sites they visit are partially or completely broken. Because those sites were, MOST OF THE TIME, designed around those ad spaces existing. If you turn on an adblocker and suddenly half the page disappears, congratulations, you played yourself.
 
There are very, very easy ways to defeat adblock if a company really wants to. And "Manifest V3" would make that easier. The version "1" adblock worked by affixing CSS rules to change very generic "obvious ad sizes" on the page, or images/scripts that are not first-party. The work around? you run a script to delete all CSS scripts you didn't authorize. You put all the scripts you need to show the site in with the advertisement scripts and run jsmin on them.  Now it's impossible to "block" the ads by any browser-sided means. Everything is coming from the same place as the site itself.
 
The only, viable, way of blocking ads, is by blocking all third party scripts. Which is not default policy in chrome because of course it isn't. It would break the web. So how do you make sure that happens? devices like pihole. Just send the DNS through your own DNS server that immediately returns not found for ad urls. But in order for that to work, you need to crowd-source what exactly are ad urls, and be careful not to blackist entire CDN's, otherwise entire sites will just be Thanos snapped.
 
And who's going to maintain that?
 
No, realistically,  everyone wants you to use their "app" because you are then trapped in a user experience you can't modify. They no longer care if the web experience is crap any more. "use our app" instead. Lose-lose situation.
 
But again, I'll say that pretty much everyone complaining about ads, is making things up. Ask someone for proof. Screenshots of "ads being viruses", and they won't have them unless they're visiting piracy sites.

My thoughts
Always a fan of open source, I'm extremely excited to hear this news. Hopefully this means that it'll work on Linux eventually too!

I want to reference the post that I did a few minutes ago on one of his recent videos, they are still using ad-block there:
 
 

I was rewatching this video and saw this on the screen and all I can say it's lmao. Linus fought for months with against his fanbase by claiming that adblock is piracy, that he doesn't use it and then after a few months a company computer is showing with it installed and enabled.

With the steam deck bringing Linux gaming to the regular public, I think more Linux coverage is going to be amazing. No one else is really doing it right now, so getting out ahead will really let you take the early market for it.
 
You can automate this too using [bcdedit](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/bcd-system-store-settings-for-uefi?view=windows-11) on Windows and [efibootmgr](https://www.linuxbabe.com/command-line/how-to-use-linux-efibootmgr-examples) in Linux to switch back and forth.
 
Linux also has the advantage of not needing to reinstall drivers since you can just disable the ones you aren't using in modprobe.

Great tool! I really want it for Linux.

It's mostly frustrating to me, because I've gone back to look for a video to see what a product was called, but it's not in the title so I can't ctrl+f and look for it (youtube's search sucks). So I have to scroll through the videos, find a video that might be about the thing that I want to look at, then click it it, check to make sure it is the video that I want, then go to the description.
 
That's dumb and a waste of my time.
 
I can forgive baity thumbnails, as I never have to think about it again after I click on it, but not being able to ctrl+f on their video page is super annoying.

This video is specifically about the NexDock 2 yet it's not in the title. I get not putting the product name if you're going over multiple items, but I thought you all said that you were going to start adding product names again for searchability?

Did you guys stop putting the product name in the title?

I'm hoping this might get discussed on The WAN show at some point.
 
Dissenter allows you to comment on any web page, anywhere, anytime, regardless. So if you think turning off comments on your YouTube video is effective, it's not.
 
This follows closely behind the WAN Show topic of pedos commenting timestamps on videos of kids. Now, I'm no fan of this practice (understatement of the year), but free speech just got a shot in the arm, for better or worse.
 
Dissenter is made by Gab.com, which is known for their right-leaning libertarian political stance. However, unlike Twitter, they won't ban you for your political views. They don't care if you offend someone. They just want free speech protected, something other big platforms don't seem too concerned with. Illegal content is not allowed, for obvious reasons, but that's it.

I personally trust Tim Pool to cover this kind of thing:
"When I was on the Joe Rogan podcast with Jack Dorsey, he mentioned that there was a woman from the Westborough Baptist Church who was de-radicalized because she was on twitter and was exposed to other people. [W]hen you have comments sections people can communicate with each other. Someone might be a Trump supporter and someone might say they hate Trump, but then they interact and they realize the other person's not that bad."

“Dissenter launches at a time when comment sections are no longer available on every mainstream news site and blog, YouTube is shutting down comment sections while also demonetizing channels over their comment sections and social media censorship is the worst it has ever been”

That is incorrect.

Steamworks is supported back to 12.04, but not the client.

In the Enterprise, you always want to use an off the shelf solution if possible. The reason for this is two fold.
 
1) They are generally easier to get up and running
 
2) If something goes wrong you have someone else to lean back on if you can't solve it yourself.
 
Also, if you ever build your own solution and it breaks, your job will be on the line because it will 100% be your fault and if the customer loses a lot of money you'll be an easy scape goat to save face.

Hey guys! 
 
If anyone else feels like I do, they want to see more videos with Anthony.
Something about his sage-like expressions while Linus watches tech fail to perform is HYSTERICAL to me.
And after it fails and Linus is like, "Wait... Did this company NOT include this thing in their thing!?!?!?" Anthony has this smile and nod like, "You're right, and I knew it all along and never told you, because I dug ridiculously deep into this tech way before I wrote this episode. I just wanted to see if you could figure out why it doesn't work."
 
Perfect.
Anthony, do more!
