Agree - I just don’t understand why you’d use anything else on a PC.

So use Firefox! On Android its ad blockers work well too

Good news everyone!

Depends on the file format. There is compressed and uncompressed audio - some times the numbers just represent the audio waveform (e.g. .wav) - some times with lossy lossless compression. Most, but not all, video formats are compressed due to the data size

There are thousands of types of file. They all contain data as a long sequence of numbers, and how those numbers are interpreted depends on the type of file - text characters, floating point numbers, pixel colour information or compressed data

A few bucks from even a tiny percentage of users makes a massive difference. My only opinion is to go broad, rather than deep. Ie spread what you can afford around

I don’t know about your bedpost but those fasteners don’t look adequate to me. Especially into plaster board

Ahh. Political commentary from a better time. Not even a little death threat!

Exactly - loading all your need for companionship, relationships and love onto a single person and relationship (and type of relationship) is guaranteed to cause disappointment- it’s too much for person. I’ve been happily married for years, and key to that is other friends, companions and family.

This is a good expansion on that idea. The Four Loves

I think it depends on whether it’s active or passive. Active - e.g. a laser that damages a camera sensor, then yes, your device is actively damaging someone else’s camera - deliberate property damage. Passive - e.g. reflective strips so the exposure is bad, a pattern that is hard to focus on or similar- that’s fine - camera owner is making a decision to expose their gear to the environment. Even if, say, it’s a changing pattern that deceives the autofocus into working constantly (no, I don’t know exactly how that would work, but it’s the best I can think of at short notice) so it wears out faster.

Congratulations!
