You can disable the background image that in the options under Appearance. It's a holdover from Clementine's branding which I also find annoying. I also dislike the glow animation on currently playing track in the playlist which can also be disabled.

Wait the original was only $15?! I got Hollow Knight in a Humble Bundle so I had no idea how cheap that amazing game was.

No wonder Silksong is only $20. I saw the memes about the devs asking for $20 and assumed it was $20 more like $60=>$80 or something like that.

Also, probably the price of the connector. USB A is also a simple standard and no one will expect to treat it as a display out.

The video has covers how Tool and Die wages have dropped below the median wage. We're also importing the tools/molds from China and manufacturing the parts "in the US" instead of the reverse.

I remember another Youtuber Linus Tech Tips creating their own injection molds in BC so that it would be harder for copycats. The entire Screwdriver isn't made in Canada though. The shaft and bits are made in China or somewhere else in Asia IIRC. The reason they were able to do that though is because there already existed an injection molding company nearby for them to work with though.

Netflix has continually raised prices, and earns more from the ad plans than those paying more for zero ads.

Becoming a paying customer is just a negotiation with advertisers to raise their rates until Netflix concedes to what they want. Since they know you have more discretionary income Netflix can also charge more for ads. They're also incentivized into turning those customers into ad supported by increasing the no ad plan cost.

The patent mentions the ability to aim the pokeball which wasn't in the first 3 Gameboy games.

Does modern Pokémon start battles by throwing a pokeball to release a monster to begin fighting?

IMO, they should have made it a simple mailed print/postcard subscription with an email newsletter with the jpg wallpaper. You could even provide access to a private wallpaper app that changes it for you monthly if people want that.

LTT has the right mentality that supporting an influencer should give you something physical for your support or when asking a superchat on a livestream that may or may not get answered.

Feels like SS7 was deliberately left vulnerable from requests within the country for tracking purposes. A lot of the security seems to be done with firewalls within the walled garden so it's easier for the five eyes to track cell phones live without giving direct access to the databases.

That said, the real world example Veratasium used was chilling.

Having LinusTechTips as a 2nd example (whos showing off his new apple phone) was a nice counter too. I'm pretty sure LTT uses multi factor+user auth though so I'm guessing that sms 2fa email was an alt email for personal use.

Gonna have to watch that 2014 presentation on ss7 it seems.

Chromium/Chrome can also get ChromeOS and it's hardware division since most of the complications in chrome are there to reimplement a Phone/Desktop OS.

> What of the small, but important, products that Google hasn't killed yet? ... But what of say, Google Fonts?

Google Fonts can act as a tracking pixel, the bandwidth cost is probably offset by the slight amount of user data it obtains.

Samsung A15 has a headphone jack, 128gb storage, OLED screen, and SD card slot in the SIM tray.

It should have 4 years of updates too, which at $270 CAD is $5.63 per month of support.
