    It would be comparable if NASA scientists were racing against someone else controlling another vehicle over there with less ping.

    P.S. I’m not saying it isn’t challenging - it surely is, but it’s like connecting to your home computer over a shitty connection to play a single player game.



  • Imagine the market being saturated with all kinds of keyboards in various form factors and layouts and someone holding you accountable for what you’re using.

    I used to think I can’t do without an F-row. Nowadays I use a bunch of 60-ish boards (a Boardwalk, a Lily58, an Elora) and it’s all fine. Even back when I was using a 75%, I was used to have e.g. the arrows on IJKL on a layer (of course it doesn’t work well for games, but for things like text editing I’d argue it’s even better than dedicated keys). In general I’d suggest to everyone to challenge themselves a little bit with things that don’t seem good at first but might end up being useful in the long run.






  • Could be, I don’t know. I doubt that video creators would go through all of these old videos just to update them to a slightly higher bitrate; the other possibility is that YouTube kept the original uploads or higher bitrate variants without previously showing them (and only showed them now), but that seems like a huge waste of storage, so it seems unlikely to me. Again, we’re talking about old uploads (2-3 or up to 10 years ago), not new ones.

    The one thing I’ve seen that makes sense is updating old videos that were previously available at up to 480p and bringing them up to 720p or 1080p (with the idea of keeping the original published video with the views, comments and so on instead of uploading a new one).


  • Ads aside, what’s been infuriating me lately is that YouTube seems to have degraded the quality of existing videos and locked the previously available quality behind the “1080p Enhanced Bitrate”; I have no way of confirming this since I obviously don’t have Premium, but I’m fairly sure that the regular 1080p of old videos that I rewatch from time to time (uploaded 2-3 years ago or earlier) is now worse than it was. If it was about new uploads with something previously unavailable, it would’ve been somewhat understandable. Something also tells me that the paid tier is also going to get ads eventually.
