Functions on my YT have been acting very strange lately. Start/pause, screen size, etc.

Very frustrating.

Anyone else notice this ?

Nope, only that the adverts seem to be getting longer and longer. I never minded 5 seconds of compulsory watching of the ads and then skip to the video, but now it mostly seems to be a fixed 20 seconds. With all the adverts during videos too, I've given up on it, downloaded around a hundred music videos from Bit Torrents and stuck them on an external HDD to watch, blissfully advert-free. I enjoy watching a bit of music on the TV before I go to sleep, but so many manic Thai adverts on YT were doing my head in.

I actually do the premium. But, the bullshit seems to be compounding each day.

I hear ya.

I saw that when Larry posted it, but it's only for Android devices and I'm watching it on a (locked-down) Samsung TV. I know I could probably install it on my phone and then cast the ad-free YT video from the phone to the TV, but this stuff is supposed to make your life simpler... lol

Something which may be useful for some fellow Yanks out there. Streamlines ID/verification for those accessing government agencies.

I reckon having this properly set up may also assist with accessing other institutions, businesses and agencies as well in the future.

Can save a lot of hassle, and cut down on potential huge nightmarish headaches.

Sure wish this tech was available during covid. Would have saved me a ton of issues.
