youtube-dl used to work, but last week youtube changed their API. Usually they fix it in hours, but I want to consume product now.

Have you guys tried using fake ID's for this? Does it work? Because fuck giving youtube my date of birth let alone ID.

I hate this new feature on Youtube that automatically plays a recommended video for you 10 seconds after a video you're watching ends. That's not enough time to cancel out if I'm not fully paying attention and the videos they recommend aren't really good.

I can't seem to find a way to cancel out of it like I could when they used to have auto playlists I could switch and off.

As if I needed more reasons to leave Youtube.

I plan on building a small platform, would need skilled developers who are not libtards, would like to estimate my costs

I need to be able to print things without the tracking dots - printing gorilla marketing materials, stickers, negatives for screen printing, etc.

Can any printers be loaded with open source firmware?

Are there older models that are known to be 'clean'?

Hello, with all the talk of recovering data in Arizona, I was wondering if anyone could help me recover data from my personal computer. I will be paying for the work to be done cuz I’m a tech-retard. Specifically, I had a hard drive crash and would like to recover approximately 20,000 pictures and the program Adobe Lightroom version 5.2(this was the last version before the subscription model was adopted.) If anyone has advice about how I should search for a “computer nerd” to do this work and approximately how much I should pay for this service I would appreciate it. Any tips on how I should proceed are welcome. I have the hard drive in my possession.

I'm trying to figure out what I need for a NextCloud server (home/family use). Do I need to have my own domain in order to be able to access the server while away from home, or can I somehow use my existing home Internet connection? If I need my own domain, any recommendations on a non-cucked vendor?

I thought it was going to be a big deal bit it's nothing. I did set up a phone.com account for voice mail and machine transcription of voice mails to be emailed to my work account. I see my work account, my wife sees it, and I gave the passwords to the office manager at work so she can see it. Obviously I have nothing to hide there, anybody can see what's on there for work. It's for work. I don't have a personal phone or a personal VM or anything. If you want to talk, call me. If I don't pick up leave me a message and I'll get back to you as I can. It might be a day. No big deal most of the time, and I tend to the more urgent calls first.

I don't miss the GPS or any of the apps with the exception of being able to change the color of the lights in my house from my smart phone but I have a plan for that. It's an iphone 7 with a sim card, so I'm going to pull the sim card from the phone and just use it as a remote control in the house.

Too many tracking things in it for me to want to continue to use it. I just don't want all that shit anymore. Same with the apple watch. I think it's cool that they exist but I don't want my personal information hoovered up by these people for whatever reason they have in mind. It doesn't go into my spreadsheet for use, it goes into their corporate databanks as a future asset.

I don't want to look at it in line at the store, I don't want to look at it in the waiting room at somebody's office, don't want to look at it it when I'm out and about.

Anyone is a crypto mixer for a bit of privacy? If so what are some things to be aware of?

I tend to set a lot of times of variable duration, and usually have several running. But the app has one very bad (for me) "feature": on the wake-screen (or whatever you call the screen prior to seeing all your icons after swiping), then Clock's earliest-expiring timer lists (and this part I want), and a double-tap bringing that timer up. However, if you fumble-finger just a bit, what happens instead is your first slides a bit, revealing a new command: "Reset All Timers". No, you motherfucker! (Much cursing ensues while I remake up to a dozen timers.)

Is there a solution for this?

does anyone know why dissenter (brave based browser) is not blocking ads?

I am trying to understand the basics of it and there is so much garbage search results coming up, some of it is obviously trying to sell it, some is trying to discourage it.

What I am trying to understand:

I've read that each block is increasingly more expensive to generate on the block chain. true / false?

Each block can contain a record of a limited number of transactions. true /false?

I've bought some BTC and discovered transaction fees. Really fucking expensive transaction fees. I don't understand how this is meant to become the future of currency when moving 50$ worth of btc from one wallet to another, costs 3$.

And I've started reading up on that - the transactions are going to be more expensive the more people trade in it? How is that not a show stopper for a currency?

Saw some randos on forums claim that the increasing cost of adding blocks is such that it will soon become prohibitively expensive to actually do any transactions - cannot find anything about that one way or another.

To people who are buying it - what do you know of this and why do you not consider it a problem?

I know how to code a form to RECEIVE a message. A basic "contact form". But if I wanted to have my visitors SEND a message to an email that is not my own, how can I do that?

The form will be located on my website. There will be an input for their name, their email, and their message. However, when they hit send, their message will be sent to an email address that I write into the code. This address will not be my own. It will be a third-party person.

Any ideas?

This extension gives you a full resolution preview of images by hovering over thumbnails/links without having to load the page. For example, while browsing Ebay, you can hover over listings to see the full-res picture of the item. It even supports albums for some sites (ebay, imgur, ...)

This extension is like going from a 720p display to 4k. It's really hard to go back once you've upgraded.

First off, mods, if this isn't allowed I'll delete.

Right now there are a bunch of different crypto and stock trading websites. All of them are offering referral bonuses.

If we work as a group a bunch of different people can get a bunch of different stocks and coins for free.

Can anyone think of a reason we shouldn't milk this?

Am I correct in assuming it's designed by and for the CCP to spy on us?

Need to clean up some old family videos and some "how to" related to my business to but need a simple editor suitable for dummies. Suggestions?

It's simple how it protects you. If a bad guy has your password, but you have two factor authentication set up, they would need one more thing before they can pretend to be you. Your password alone is not enough.

A password is something you know. A second factor is typically something you have, like a phone or an app.

Do you feel like a tutorial?

Negative side to be aware of: if you lose either the password or the second factor ("something you have"), you can't log in yourself. Therefore, make sure this doesn't happen.

Tip: if you get locked out, contact the company, directly tell them what happened and ask them to unlock your account.

Services that offer two factor authentication

Some good authenticator apps offer cloud backup of your second factors (the ones you create with the QR codes (soft factors)). Then, if your phone is lost or wiped, you can reload them from the cloud.

Microsoft Authenticator

Also known as multifactor authentication.

Out of curiosity, I am wondering if you can set up a windows 10 or linux install so that it's completely tamper proof from kids. This also means hardening it from malware in general.

I also intend to lock the case the computer is running in so that the kid would have to destroy the lock or damage the case in order to access the hard drives.

Any peripheral the computer uses will also be whitelisted so that kids cannot infect the pc with malware from a usb stick.

I am also aware that I will have to lock the bios too.

I know. Who's using Windows XP? I am on Win 10 but sometimes use my old Win XP computer. Well, my XP computer used to be alright, but then after a Microsoft update the computer became very slow... I think this was Microsoft trying to slow down people's computers to get them to upgrade.

Then I found out with the help of a YouTube that disabling "automatic updates" speeds up your computer. I strongly believe that Microsoft did this (however many years ago) to screw computer users, and make them upgrade their PCs.

Does anyone think that I am crazy, or does Microsoft have a history of doing this bullshit? I know it's a long time ago, but this kinda pisses me off.
