- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 3 weeks ago:
Google owns YouTube and the AdSense advertising network. They don’t need to sell the data to advertisers because they are the advertiser. It’s more valuable for them to just hoard that for forever and use it for ad targeting.
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 3 weeks ago:
They don’t make any money.
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 3 weeks ago:
YouTube doesn’t sell user data, the data is for targeting ads.
- Comment on Firefox lost users during “failed” Yahoo search deal, says Mozilla CEO 3 weeks ago:
Most people wouldn’t, which is the issue.
- Comment on YouTube is now fully blocking ad blockers around the world 4 weeks ago:
That is exactly how YouTube works: support.google.com/youtube/answer/72902?hl=en

The downfall of YouTube is creators generating more revenue for their work?

- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
A certified Lemmy/Reddit classic.
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
Linux is great but it’s not always an option. It doesn’t run every app or game that Windows has (Proton is great but it’s not 100%), or maybe you’re doing dev work that has to be on a Windows machine, or you’re using some hardware that isn’t supported well in Linux. I switched off Linux to Windows (and then later to macOS) partially because Photoshop and Lightroom are pretty great tools for my job and the workarounds/alternatives weren’t cutting it.
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
Yes, Microsoft had an internal presentation with poorly-worded language that said Windows will “move” to the cloud, the whole presentation slide makes it clear they’re talking about Windows in the cloud as an option: theverge.com/…/microsoft-windows-11-cloud-consume…
Forcing everyone to stream Windows from a cloud server would not work well for the vast majority of PCs and internet connections. Microsoft isn’t dumb, they’re not going to try that and lose even more market share to Apple.
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
Yes, that’s reporting on the “leak” from Neowin, which Neowin later redacted because there wasn’t actually enough evidence: neowin.net/…/microsoft-might-want-to-be-making-wi…
Windows 365 is a cloud streaming PC that isn’t even available to consumers yet.
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
The subscription rumor was debunked pretty quickly. I honestly don’t see that happening anytime soon, PC makers would get pretty upset (especially if they don’t get a cut of the revenue).
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
That’s a video editorializing the article that was already editorializing the Microsoft support pages. That’s just a game of telephone with everyone in the process trying to make it sound scarier than it actually is.
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
Those links just say that illegal content uploaded to Microsoft services might get your account suspended, which is how pretty much every online service works. There’s a higher bar than “misbehavior”.
- Comment on The Windows 11 problem 1 month ago:
I have not seen anything about Microsoft accounts getting deleted for AI falsely identifying something as malicious. Windows Defender and OneDrive do scan your files for malware, yeah.

- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 month ago:
If only there was a link to click that explained that ;)
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 month ago:
Yeah, a lot of smartphone chipsets still have an FM tuner, but it needs additional circuitry (e.g. a 3.5mm jack to use as the antenna) that most device makers don’t implement.

- Comment on Antenna TV is pretty cool, actually 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’s gonna be interesting to see how that pans out. DVR manufacturers got thrown through a loop with the DRM changes, and LG just announced it won’t sell TVs with ATSC 3.0 anymore due to patent issues. Maybe it will just be thrown out entirely like 2.0.

- Comment on Contrary to rumors, the iPhone 15 has a standard, by-the-book USB-C port 2 months ago:
The Vision Pro is a fully standalone, like the Quest headsets. The OS is similar to iOS though, a “lite” version of the headset that is tethered to a high end iPhone might be possible.
- Comment on Microsoft cuts ties with the Surface Duo after just 2 Android version updates 2 months ago:
Here’s hoping someone gets LineageOS ported.
