I thought that everyone pronounced it your way...

I agree. The world needs more drivable cars. Until this SUV/crossover trend ends, I'm hanging onto my 6-speed 350Z Roadster in Daytona Blue for the foreseeable future.

And I'm telling you that you don't have to if you use a Debrid service.

But if you insist: all you gotta do set it up on the DNS level. Find out the IP needed to connect to your VPN via DNS, then change your TV's DNS servers to that IP in its internet connection settings.

I use SponsorBlock for more than just skipping sponsored segments. It's also useful for skipping intros, "like and subscribe" messages, and other general annoyances in most YouTube videos. Once you get used to it, you can't go without.

I miss the early days of WiFi, when routers were unsecured by default. If you lived in the city or suburbia, you were pretty much guaranteed free wifi.

Back in the 2000s I lived with my grandma for awhile, and even though she had internet, I would use the wifi from a few houses down. I only got 2 bars and was limited to 1.5Mbps, yet it was still over 5x faster than her 256Kbps DSL line.

By "low" I mean that I don't get any sort of government assistance, not even healthcare. I consider that a rather low standard of living.

I would but my issue with that is that SponsorBlock doesn't work on downloaded videos.

Same. When I opened the Stats for Nerds pop-up, I noticed that I was being throttled to 1500kbps. Anything above 720p was unplayable this week.

But apparently the Ublock Origin devs yet again figured out another workaround, because streaming speeds are back to normal for me as of yesterday.

My 9th grade Spanish teacher taught us how to remember how to say who/what/when/where/why in Spanish by putting it to the tune of Jingle Bells. To this day that's the only thing I remember from Spanish class, so yes I can confidently confirm that they work:

🎵 Por qué, why,
Quando, when,
Qué, what; donde, where.
Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
Quien está, who is there?
Cuál! 🎵

🎵 Por qué, why,
Quando, when,
Qué, what; donde, where.
Cuantos, how much; cómo, how,
Quien está, who is there?
Which! 🎵

Have you ever considered the fact that you can simply take it apart and repair the button?
