gently caress I hope this makes sense sorry lol in effect it's just:

Open Safari and Youtube = sub account with a throw away video history for stuff I don't want tainting my poo poo
Open Chrome and Youtube= my main sub account where I am ok/want videos to affect my algorithm

Just try a few (safe) videos and see if you have two different watch histories?

I tried that but there are weird similarities that make me wonder if there's some kind of blending going on. But my sample size is low, so I am just wondering if someone knows :shrug:

I don't mean "look at your suggestions and guess at watch history", I mean navigate to watch history on your two profiles and see if they are different. I don't have premium so I dunno

Algorithms are tricky. They could easily blend watch histories. It's your account after all, just under 2 aliases.

Anyways... it's all good... thanks though...

YouTube premium has the ability to add a couple more accounts as a “family deal”. I have my wife and daughter under my YouTube premium account and (thank god) their YouTube histories don’t affect mine at all. Maybe that’s just because we pay more for family plan though? Idk

When you delete things from your watch history you also need to go into advanced history and delete it from your search history if you searched to get to the video. Otherwise it will keep suggesting things from your past searches

I was thinking of just doing a complete clean slate and seeing what happens, can I just nuke my YouTube history completely or do I need to just create a new account?

I recommend turning off YouTube search history all together. I recently turned it off and am happier for it, though I had to blow away my watch history too to make it actually forget my entire search history. I mainly just wanted it to stop displaying my search history in plain view on the TV when I'm trying to put on a YouTube video through the app, but hey, this works too.

You can nuke the history and it'll start over fresh. It will take a minute before your feed is wiped though so don't panic if it doesn't immediately look like anything changed. The only thing to be wary of is that it will also forget where you are in any videos you're not finished yet. Otherwise, if you have subscriptions it'll repopulate the feed pretty quickly. It didn't take long for mine to be back where I wanted it.

Family accounts are separate, but so are brand accounts. Your recommendations should be distinct across brand accounts, and brand accounts and "you".

The reason is that YouTube's authentication layer, under the hood, is the remains of Google+. A YouTube channel is basically a Facebook "page", but in G+ speak.

I'm glad to see he's getting back to more interesting devices, the quick start series was getting pretty repetitive and the NUC series wasn't looking very promising either.

Yeah I think Quick Start stalled out faster than he expected once the story became "and every one of these used the exact same solution" outside a handful of really weird ones. Little Guys I still kinda like just because NUCs are cool and it's explicitly a quick and dirty thing in between bigger videos.

Anyway of course one of his subscribers has the Niveus Ice Vault.

Asus took it over, and given that they make ones that are completely fanless like the PN42, it’s probably not a bad idea.

I use one for my HTPC.
It runs a custom build of FreeBSD, that’s only got enough software to run Kodi using Wayland, inspired by LibreELEC.

I thought it was bloody weird tbh and happily it had a replacement top (minus the skull motif) to make it look sane if required. :ughh:

I got a Broadwell i3 unit around 10 years ago and it's still doing great. I assume they stopped because they were always more interested in jump starting the mini-PC segment as a way to sell more CPUs than they were in actually selling mini-PCs. Now that a number of other OEMs are making very similar units, they're happy to drop it.

Yeah there are a whole number of smaller, mostly Chinese OEMs that make comparable if not better mini-PCs now for pretty cheap. I'm running a Minisforum one for a media server/portable emulation box and it's been working great.

I have to admit the new ASUS ones look intriguing but they have a hell of a price premium by comparison.

quote:

What I found was that, amusingly, lots of people with stores that amount to a single folding table have opportunistically designated their table as an Apple Store on Google Maps. After visiting a couple of these guys, they pointed me in the direction of the iStore, and put me in a taxi.

The iStore is the official dealer, but they didn't have the product yet. Maybe later this year. That was no good to me, so off I went to the street where they sell electronics. Nobody had it there either , but every shop I went to the guy was SURE his cousin had it and would accompany me to his cousin's store. We tried stacking adaptors (Lightning to usb-c, usb-c to USB-A, USB-A to Sd card) and nearly melted some poo poo but couldn't get it to work.

Eventually, with 5 Kurdish dudes in tow, I was directed to a shop where as guy could solder me an adaptor. So we all set up having chai, hanging out, and watching this guy solder stuff together. At this point I had half the street helping me and someone got some snacks. It was very pleasant, and eventually, I got my hands on the adaptor, still fresh and warm.

I was so happy, and I asked how much it cost. They were absolutely not taking my money. Nor were they going to let me pay for the chai or the pistachios. We didn't have a card to test the device, so someone flagged a taxi and I went back to the hotel. The taxi guy heard about my journey, and decided he would also not be charging me. So I get back to the hotel, and then I go and conduct some other interviews. Later I have to change hotels, and I finally try and put my SD card in there that night. The device starts getting really hot, and isn't working which makes me really sad. So I go out to get a beer. I'm getting my beer and my pistachios, and I start talking to a guy about my SD card adventure. He walks me to his cousin's shop, where I end up buying a new laptop and uploading the drat files.

But not before these guys have given me more tea, installed every piece of software they have on the laptop, and shown me their grandfather's Peshmerga photo. IDK why but that little shopping trip, which could have been an amazon interaction here, stuck with me because like, nobody needed to be kind to me.

Especially at a time when Israel was bombing Gaza and Turkey was bombing Kurdistan and the UK and the US were doing gently caress all to stop it. But literally every person I met could not have met a complete stranger with more kindness. I found that all over Kurdistan, random dudes would play dominoes with me at tea shops and offer me their little white cigarettes and help me with my dogshit kurdish. I remember one dude asking me why people had to sleep on the street in America. It was really just a wonderful experience of community and kindness and it really makes me sad that for so many people Iraq and Syria are wars not places full of the most wonderful people. For all my memories of being afraid of being bombed, I have dozens more of 8 year old kids whipping my arse at football or old men showing me kodachrome photos of their glory days or random strangers trying to teach me kurdish by screaming nouns and pointing. The way folks treated me as a stranger really gave me hope for a better world even if the power went out most nights and drones kept killing people every day.

But it would be nice if we could show some of that same kindness to the strangers over there who get killed every day just because someone in Ankara doesn't like them getting to decide what kind of a future they want their children to have.
