I would think so. IANAL but I'm sure there's a ton of precedence for cases similar to this. HIPAA laws are very good for the people.

Not a mistake, but their ToS change without consent probably wouldn't stand up in court.

Respect upvote. Can we have this be our culture in Lemmy?

Shout out to Streamio + real-debrid + torrentio! 🖤🏴‍☠️

I'm guessing speaking or typing: "note" "pad" "notepad" "how do I write a note?" "Write something down" would all work.

To be fair this would probably be the same speed as me hitting windows key + R and typing "notepad".

As a programmer, I'm pretty sure I understand computers. It all comes down to who you trust because at the end of the day we all have smart phones with us just about 24/7 with the potential to access just about every aspect of our lives in real-time. Personally, I don't really trust any company so I limit what I put into my smart phone.

I'm a tech guy and don't give a crap about the sweeping motion of a watch hand. I'd rather have a watch that tells me the time, date, my messages, and vitals while also being able to configure how it looks plus change that any time I like. Way more useful than, "Wow, look at that hand sweep by!"

I guess I just don't "get it" when it comes to watches like this. Is there something I'm missing?

That's a good work around. You can also right click and "open in private window" and it will work just fine.

Ahoy, that's alright with me, matey!

That's a good idea. Another one that may be effective is Google has AI process the video and they drop links in the text below the video based on company $. For example, Cool Shirts Inc. gives ad money to Google for their t-shirts. AI processes all new videos and checks for Cool Shirt Inc shirts. If the video has the shirt in it then this is added in text below the video, "Dig the creator's shirt? Get it here: link.to.shirt.com/buynow". Non-intrusive, fairly good targeting and if I do like something in the video I can check there to purchase or look into it more.

Hear me out: Google makes money by selling ads. People who buy from those ads don't have an adblocker installed. People who are intelligent enough to block ads wouldn't buy from them anyway. If Google allows it to be too easy to block ads then their model collapses. I'm ok with jumping through a couple hoops to continue to block and Google doesn't lose anything while I get to still watch the content I like without wasting anyone's time. It's to Google's benefit to serve videos to only people who will actually buy that crap anyway. If Google or anyone wants to sell to me, they simply have to make a great product. If they do, I'll see it in use for it's intended purpose and buy it. For example, I didn't have to watch any ads to buy a Nintendo Switch years ago...

Because of this comment, I'm converting. Thank you so much! Doesn't seem to hard to figure out and there are plenty of articles online for this. I see a lot of them also add Real Debrid for higher quality and to remove the need for VPN. Anyway, you rock!
