Rageaholic posted:Does anyone else use OneNote on iOS and has it been loving up for you the last few days or is it just doing that for me? The cursor doesn't show up when it should and editing text is all hosed up. I don't know how else to say it. I'll try to enter text and it'll enter it all incorrectly, like it'll insert the text in between text I've already entered when I don't want it to and stuff like that. I don’t have a solution but my workplace tried to do a paperless thing and push everyone to OneNote and the iOS client is so insanely miserable that virtually no one continued using OneNote as all it did was generate endless support tickets for flaws inherent to the way the app works that can never be fixed unless Microsoft does something… which doesn’t look likely. I have no idea how Microsoft managed to get the basic functionality of “sync changes back to server” so completely and utterly wrong but I swear there is like a 50/50 chance anything you put into the iOS client may or may not ever show up on your desktop.

Be advised they may getting wise to the India route. My BiL wasn’t able to get that working recently even with a fresh account and me walking him through it on a screen share. Mine is up later this year so I’ll get to find out myself pretty soon.

I'm always dubious of actually using the VPN trick. Gmail is my main email account, and if it got banned I'd be really screwed. So my options are: 1. Use a VPN to save a bit on YouTube Premium but at the risk of locking myself out of my digital life 2. Pay £13/mo for it legitimately, which is more than any other monthly subscription I have 3. Live with the adverts .. I revisit this regularly and always end up going with 3. The price to get the same content without adverts feels too high, if it was cheaper I'd just pay it.

There's also the Sponsorblock extension, on iOS/Safari even. I did the Ukrainian VPN for YouTube Premium for $4 a month and I couldn't imagine going back. It's just too convenient. My YouTube usage is up because of it, too. Even if they blocked it, I'd probably convince my friends to go in on a paid Premium Family membership. I just really hate ads and juggling a few paid streaming services is still cheaper than going to the movies or paying for cable.

There is absolutely no way they close/ban your Gmail account because you tried to do a vpn trick for region specific YouTube premium discounts.

They seem to have clamped down on this; I tried it a few months ago but for new accounts they were needing confirmation via a local phone number. And I couldn't find any online service offering phone numbers that it would actually accept. If anyone knows how this can be done (with experience within the last 6 months or so) I'd be all ears!

So I grabbed Vinegar, really been meaning to for ages but I’m lazy, just recently though I’ve hit a lot of videos where every five or six minutes I get two ads, usually including one you need to hit the skip button on. Installed Vinegar, setup, working to block ads as I watch a couple of videos, excellent. I sign in to YouTube in Safari, deal with it jumping to the YouTube app and then Chrome but eventually I’m signed in, in Safari. I do the ‘add to home screen’ thing, name it, delete the YouTube app to clear the banner asking me to “open video in YouTube”. Then the PiP stopped working, it would minimize for a second and then close. Again and again and again, restart and again. Eventually worked it out: I have Chrome as the default browser so adding to the home screen just adds a URL, which opens in the default browser. Durr. It’s too bad you can’t do windows style app links like Safari.app “youtube.com” but I’m happy with just having safari bookmarked, with the eventual hope I might one day leave chrome behind.

What really grinds my gears is when I have the keyboard up and accidentally bump the microphone icon and I get the pop up telling me to enable dictation. No, gently caress you, stop bothering me and give me an option to delete the microphone forever instead of a stupid nag screen. edit - goddamn i'm a moron, wrong loving thread you idiot xzzy fucked around with this message at 03:17 on Feb 9, 2024 |

I'd happily pay for a Youtube Family premium plan if they didn't insist on bolting on their music service onto it as well to inflate the price $23/mo and half that is a music plan I would never use

YouTube music is so bad it’s hard to understand how they ended up there. Like, why on earth do I want my music listen history to be tied to the same algorithm as my normal account, meaning that if I spend a day listening to music then back in my main app feed it will all just be music suggestions and if I make music playlists, they’ll clutter up my list of video playlists. And also it’s way of auto determining which YT videos are actually music, meaning I got suggested “Halo theme song performed by 80 guys in 1 bathroom” I was hoping that YT premium on VPN pricing might be an affordable replacement for Apple Music but it’s real confusing.

They also don't normalize the audio so if you build a playlist from a bunch of random channels you get to adjust the volume yourself for each new song if they weren't mastered properly.

I'm one of those weirdos who streams music across way too many apps, and yeah, couldn't really find a reason to use YouTube Music vs Apple Music, Spotify, and Soundcloud unless you downright refuse to pay for the other services because you already have YouTube Premium.

It's incredibly dumb but some people just create an alt account for their YT music vs YT videos since you can use 5 accounts with YT premium. They really need to separate the two; if not for the way they intermingle the listening vs viewing it would be a much better service but I think they never will.

Gonna put my hat in the ring as a person who is definitely living in Hungary and paying for YouTube Premium with their primary Google account. It was a pretty easy setup that required verifying my card but not my address or anything and has worked flawlessly for the last 6-8 months.

That’s the plan once my trial expires. Can you “definitely live in Hungary” for a family plan too? I’ve heard it doesn’t work as smoothly if you wanna do that.
