Damn impressive.
Sounds straight out of a WWII action/spy/war movie.

YouTube's next move might make it virtually impossible to block ads
This must cost YouTube a fortune doing additional processing and reduced flexibility. They are going to hurt themselves and blockers will find a way.

8 years? Try 24 years of Curb your Enthusiasm and it was glorious.
Also Always Sunny in Philadelphia exists and proves Seinfeld wrong as well.

Alex Jones and his fans are intrigued by Putin offer of sanctuary to conservatives
They can all go and make their own new Russian town. They could call it Jonesgrad or perhaps Jonestown to keep it closer to their American roots.
Don't forget to pack up some FlavorAid for those scorching Russian summers.

It's because Jean-Baptiste Kempf is a GOAT and said "non" to fuck-you amounts of money to sell out VLC.
I don't know if I've had the strength to say no to that much money and obviously, that kind of cash has corrupted all but a few bastions of what makes the Internet an awesome place.
Shoutout to Raymond Hill of uBlock Origin fame and all those supporting the lists it depends on. Some many adblockers sold out (including the original uBlock) but he champions on making the Internet a remarkably better place when used. Dude even refuses donations (says list maintainers deserve it more).

So only another military coup could free Russia from Putin's firm grasp.
But that's why he kept his own military led by weak leadership. And the only paramilitary group he allowed to gain strength ended up attempting a coup against him.

D-Link refuses to patch a security flaw on over 60,000 NAS devices — the company instead recommends replacing legacy NAS with newer models
Meanwhile Synology keeps updating my ageing NAS.
They may not have the best bang for the buck for hardware but their software package is really well put together.

What you want is a sport that's obscure in your country. Don't need to compete if nobody else is applying to represent your country for it at the Olympics. Or so I've learned from Cool Runnings and Eddie the Eagle.

Give him some credit... he also suggested ingesting bleach. Technically it would have killed COVID and guaranteed the patient never got COVID or any other sickness ever again.

It all makes sense now
The more you think about it, the better/worse it gets.
They couldn't fly from Japan to Hawaii even using the more reasonable route. They were brought nearer using aircraft carriers.
The Doolittle Raid launched longer-range bombers from US carriers to hit Japan and they were lightened up to the max (dumped their guns and anything else non-essential) and planned from the get-go to ditch over China because flying back would be impossible.
Being able to fly a bomber halfway across the World was beyond WW2 tech.

I like the "all or nothing" approach. It negates the "but my religion is extra special and the true one".
