YouTube on TVs is cramming ads down your throat even when pausing videos
  • Tbh I share an apk twice a year on a shared Whatsapp group and that's all the "maintaining" I do, so I don't care that much. I've had worse

  • And revanced takes some steps, more than just "install this package, done".

    It depends. Personally I patch it and then share the patched apk with friends and family, so for them it's literally just "install this package, done" without compromising security.

    Dear Corolla drivers
  • The original company was never Italian. The founder was Italian, but the company was incorporated in German Alsace, which then became French Alsace after the Great War. There was a brief attempt at a revival in Italy in the late 80s, early 90s, but it didn't really go anywhere. Today's company is French and is mostly controlled by the Croat Rimac (and partially by Porsche, which owns VW, which owns Porsche)

  • In the US coffee = filter coffee, espresso = espresso

    In Italy coffee = espresso, dirty water = filter coffee

  • even though every restaurant has an espresso machine it doesn’t mean they clean it, and doesn’t mean their staff knows how to use it properly. Water temps too high, too much coffee grounds, over compressed, lowest quality beans. Fucking everywhere. It’s awful.

    And this is why, as an Italian, I can't drink espresso anywhere in the world. 9/10 is just awful

  • Coffee made with a Moka pot

    What you call mocha should actually be called Mocaccino, although it's more similar to what we call Marocchino in Italy. They're both derived from the "Bicerin", a drink typical of Turin.

    Marocchino is like a Cappuccino with powdered cocoa (mix the espresso and cocoa before pouring the milk).

    Mocaccino is instead made up of three layers, a layer of melted chocolate, then a layer of espresso, then a layer of frothy milk.

    Afaik they're not massively popular in Italy, but here in the north I see Marocchino more often than Mocaccino.

    PS: if you want to pronounce them correctly, "chi" and "che" are pronounced "ki" and "ke", while "ci" and "ce" are pronounced "chi" and "che".

  • Those terms are an American invention. As for Italy

    • Latte = plain old milk. Can be cold or hot, it's milk
    • Caffelatte = probably the origin of the American "latte", literally means coffee and milk, usually made and home with cold or hot milk and moka coffee
    • Latte macchiato = big cup of milk, frothy on top, with a shot of espresso in it
    • Caffè macchiato = espresso with a shot of milk, can be frothy

    Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.
  • It’s really not. YouTube doesn’t get to decide what I play on my browser, I do

    Could use the same argument for most games, streaming services, movies that you bought etc. Games that require you run Denuvo or Steamworks to function, streaming sites that require you run that particular browser or app with that particular DRM software, Blu-ray discs that require HDCP to work etc.

    You can avoid these companies dictating what you run on your computer by doing one thing...

  • And then put twice the amount because it's only half as salty. Still dumb imo.

    It's only good if you are deficient in potassium though, which I believe a lot of people are (although I don't know how easily our body can get potassium from KCl)

    Intel Core Ultra 200V promises Arm-beating battery life without compatibility issues
  • Afaik most laptops with Qualcomm X chips seem to be even more efficient than Apple's Macbooks, at least when running native code. The biggest problem they are having is platform maturity, Microsoft has spent the last decade doing all the wrong decisions, and now they are waiting for software developers to port their code to ARM, while Apple has had a 4-year head start.

    The chips are not bad though. As for competing, there's really no competition as Apple uses their chips exclusively on their laptops, so there's literally no room for any competition.

    Tuscan chicken
  • Def not Italian. Never heard of it. The traditional Tuscan chicken recipe is "pollo alla cacciatora" and has nothing to do with this

  • I mean, sure, but how many petrol car startups are there?

    Regardless, I agree that this in reality is a much wider issue regarding service and parts availability for products you buy. We need laws to regulate the availability of services integral to the products sold

    “Communism bad”
  • I see China starting to prosper as soon as they dropped the Communist economic model and opened up to capitalism, private ownership and free trade. I see Vietnam starting to do the same.

    I see NK, a more developed nation than SK right after the war, very close to their communist allies and having the second biggest economy as trade partner and neighbor (USSR first, China now) now being irrelevant economically while you can't even enter or exit the country freely. In the meanwhile SK managed to become a global power. Btw, what's up with communist countries and not letting anyone enter or exit the country freely?

    I see Vietnam, a popular retirement destination for American 'expats'.

    Pretty sure this has nothing to do with communism. Happens also in Indonesia or Thailand and has all to do with them being poor as fuck and the huge human trafficking business happening in those countries. And those "expats" are the worst of the worst scum on earth, trust me
