Yes, because their ads are served on the same server (googlevideo.com iirc) as the actual videos. Blocking that domain would block the videos too.

A water kettle. Doesn’t have to be any fancy one, but it really fucking rocks for anything you might think of : want hot water for tea? No problem. Need hot water to steep something? No problem.

Most mid-range ones are insanely power efficient too, often being alot better than just boiling water on a stovetop, or using a microwave. And, depending on insulation, heat can be stored for over 6! hours.

Duckduckgo has started this too. Very annoying.

Garmin is mainly based on quality, with the benefit of privacy. I know many family friends who hike, run, bike, etc and use garmin because it is reliable.

Hope this privacy stuff becomes more common, kind of hate having to modify software or installing custom OSs for my day-to-day stuff.

Not many people care about privacy anymore. I mention it to my family, friends, etc and how they should do certain things online to stay more ‘private’ (not anonymous) and they laugh it off saying they have nothing to hide / don’t care about their stuff being online… Sucks.
