Dumb phone features are about 5% of what I use on a daily basis on my phone.

I'm not quite sure I understood what you were talking about, but they specifically showed their revenues from YouTube AdSense for the past year or so, and they showed exactly how much they gained from each video, and it shows basically a straight line, whilst the same graph for viewers shows a substantial decrease. I'm not sure if that was specifically for LTT or for all of their channels, but I'm assuming it was just for LTT. That has no relation to them then splitting their revenues to their different channels.

He will look for answers literally anywhere, except for within.

The tech scene is just not as interesting anymore

He has literally publicly talked about this many times, he is very much aware of this fact and has stated that he's always looking for things that he can try and make interesting.

and the stuff he specifically covers is even less interesting. But the bigger issue is that everything LMG do is just corporate jank. It was fun when it was home garage jank, with 2 employees, but now it's just miserable and frustrating

On this part, I honestly don't quite get it. It's definitely a bit more corporate now, they are a 100 person company, but when it comes to the videos, I don't really see what else you'd want them to do? Sure they have some sponsored videos every now and then that are just showcases of a specific product, but even then I typically find them relatively interesting. And they still have a lot of videos where they're trying to build novel stuff and thinkering. Yeah, sure, it's typically on a higher level than what the average Joe would be capable of doing in their backyard, but I still feel like there's a place for it. Take one of the more recent videos, the one with the double-decker table. It's extremely cool to me, they took a regular table and a sit-to-stand desk, put one on top of the other, and made effectively two desks in one, one for gaming and one for a hobby. It's not something I'd build for myself, but it's a really fun concept.

The more interesting part for me, that they mentioned on the WAN show, is that while viewers dropped significantly, the revenue basically hasn't changed. They're more or less making the same amount of money from half the amount of reported viewers.

I mean, of all the things to cut off of them, Chrome made the least sense to me. It's not a profitable part of the business, it would just die if spun off. The only reason Firefox is alive is because Google is funding them. Plus changing what browser you use is much easier than some of the other monopolies they have (Android, ads, YouTube).

Again, Europe is far more densely populated than the US. The EU's population density is 106/km², the US is 37. The least dense country is Finland with 16/km², but they're a rich country with not a large population so it's not surprising for them to not have dial up. Runner up is Sweden with 24 but they are yet again a rich country. For context, there are 10 states in the US that have a smaller population density than Finland. Combine this with the US not having that good of public infrastructure because they mostly have private everything, I don't find it surprising at all that Europe doesn't have dial-up and the US does.

From what the article says, it's actually a pretty cool way of improving desalination plants. They use the left over brine, from desalination, that has a very high concentration of salt, and use it as the high salt concentration side, with regular seawater being used on the other side. This both gives them free energy and reduces the side effects of pumping that extremely salty water into the sea by diluting it.

Yeah but my understanding was that an important part of the EU is the negotiation of trade deals that regulate tariffs, and that the countries more or less gave their sovereignty in that area to the EU. Maybe I was mistaken?

Same. But sex would also be great

Wait, how does this work? I am for the EU to retaliate with tariffs against the US, but how is Poland able to do it by itself? Isn't the EU supposed to have a common trade policy?

I personally don't have a need for it, but if someone has a 4K 120Hz TV or monitor without DisplayPort that they want to use as such, it's kinda stupid that they can't.

Except that AMD doesn't support HDMI 2.1 on Linux (not their fault to be fair, but still)
