Just another person trying to belittle the passion of some guy on the internet.

This article is over 2 years old, so not exactly new news.

Just keep your phone for as long as possible and only upgrade when you absolutely have to.

There are no environmentally friendly options, but making sure your device is recycled at EOL, replacing your battery rather than your phone, and keeping it for as long as possible is the best you can do while still having the luxury of owning a phone.

You’re right I should have said “”accidentally””

If you overclock it and it starts to crash Intel say “sorry warranty void”, if Intel accidentally overclock it and drastically reduce its life “…”

I’ve not kept up to date with this but wasn’t the problem that as soon as you run these CPUs they are getting permanently damaged? Surely they have to recall them?

I did I only ever enabled one at a time. They all had their issues with Twitch and YT blocking though. I’ve not found a solution for Twitch that works well, so I just sub to the occasional streamer now.

I use Firefox for general browsing and clear all cookies and history every shutdown. The problem I had was I had been rotating UBO, ABP, AdBlock, ghostry, Twitch Ad Block etc. and they all kept messing up browsing, YouTube, or Twitch in one way or another.

Brave was the only one to not fail on YouTube at any time in the last year, so I kept it just for YT.

Thanks for the details…

if I don’t use their rewards program and they still block ads then it’s a win-win for me.

A founder with despicable views is not great, but again by using his product but not the monitization features I’m not really contributing anything to him.

Chrome with a fancy skin that blocks ads… is there another trusted browser that does the same thing with chrome level security that I can try? Even Edge is Chrome with a fancy skin now.

Just to clarify I do not browse with Brave, I only use it as a launcher for YouTube.

Can you expand on this? Is Brave doing any shady stuff by default?

Lol- I even spelt it wrong… what are you talking about? Do you mean Brave rewards for allowing advertising?

I don’t have any ads enabled afaik, wouldn’t even know how to turn that on. Never been interested in crypto, only interested in ad-free browsing.

If you have some info about nefarious things Brave is doing by default let me know.

I nearly bought premium for the family this year, decided to show everyone how to install breve browser instead, and no issues so far.

The way I look at it is the YouTube Capitalism profit line must go up… the longer we all delay that from happening the better, and if it is expensive in the future I can offset it against my savings today, or subscribe to Nebula, or some other platform if they really take the piss with the price.

The preferential treatment was that the body cams were just muted during the cover up and not all accidentally turned off for the entire encounter, not getting beaten up, tased or shot.

I mean as far as preferential treatment goes I’d take that deal, but the fact remains he was pulled out of his car, roughed up, taken to the floor and handcuffed for 18minutes for no reason when the cop should have been writing him a (dubious) ticket.

There are at least 2 cops here who should not be cops and the rest need to be retrained to ensure they step in if they see mistreatment like this again, for face being fired.

Ooh not sure we have those in the UK, we do have San Francisco Bay coffee beans which are good but Lavazza is smoother. I did wonder if the San Fran was just for us in Europe so we had “Exotic American” coffee.

I’m an advocate for separate grinder and espresso machines, just seems like an unnecessary complication, and the combo machines seem to take up more space than both the dedicated ones.

If you are looking at the lower end of the market, spare parts and repairability are often nonexistent or afterthoughts at best. If combo machine breaks you now have to get another combo or buy the separates, and even the best value combo is more $ than comparable separates.

Well I’ve asked Santa for an AeroPress for Christmas, I take a French press camping but we broke it this year. Planning on getting the metal filter, and finding out myself.

Do you have a Costco near you? I usually get Lavazza beans when it’s on offer for £10/$13 per kg (~2lbs) but Amazon sometimes have it cheaper delivered. One word of warning though, the Kirkland coffee beans are terrible, no idea how they make It so bitter.

Also have you tried a re-usable metal filter for your AeroPress?

Do you just roast it in your home oven? Does it make your house smell like a Starbucks knock box?

Just had this conversation with my partner who wanted to get a Nespresso (no idea why). I also have an espresso machine and have 2 large coffees a day, a 1kg bag of beans is £10 ( $13) and lasts over a month. Espresso machine and a grinder is the most eco and pocket friendly way.

My primary responsibility is to the animal I am caring for, who has no choice but to eat what I give them.
