As an average IPL game of T20 cricket viewer can tell you.

Basically every over consists of 6 balls bowled, times 40(each team gets 20 overs)

And ads are sold on each ball, so 240 ad slots for sale, these are overlay ads, so basically the feed gets reduced to 70% of the screen and you see an ad for the remaning 30% typically for 5 secs.

On top of this after each over(6 balls), you get full screen targeted ads for 30 secs before the nexy over starts. This targeted ad is exclusively sold for your demographic account. Your friend or a family member will see a completely different sst of targeted ads.

A wicket(batter got out)? You dont need to watch a replay of how it happened here is 30 secs of more ads in the middle of the over while the new batsman walks on to the field. I wish this was sarcasm.

And on top of all this, you get a full 2min 30sec "strategic timeout" in between each innings to guess what? Run more ads.

And all of this just in the span of just over 3 hours start to finish.

Rinse and Repeat.

I skipped the amazon account registration and directly sideloaded the Google Play apps on my fire tablet.

Even for Google TVs you can skip the setup and use the TV as is. You can sideload APKs on this as well.

AFAIK, the account setup/login circumvention is not possible on fire tv sticks/google chromecasts.

You can take a very old android device factory reset it and continue using at as an offline only device without the blessings of google or amazon. (Except FRP devices)

But that is not the case with Apple, you need to connect it atleast once to the internet to activate the device.

Then later on one of the doctors asked J&J if a test for cyanide is done for each batch in QA at the factory. J&J said yes, each batch was tested for the presence of cyanide.

The doctor then asked, "Why were they testing for it(cyanide)?", kinda blew my mind. Implying that J&J knew cyanide contamination was a possibility at the factory itself.

Or is it better to self host?

All of the above if you want a wireless experience, you can just use Calibre and plug in the reader via USB for a smoother experience.

Read it on my kindle after removing the DRM and sent it via amazon.com/sendtokindle

Functionality is not limited to the browser, ads are also blocked in freemium type apps.

I also use the same DNS on my router so that I dont have to configure each device on the network.

Specifically, I want to get RP2040 or the newer RP2350 with another module onto a single PCB. Currently I am soldering the pins between the two modules.

I assume this should be fairly trivial since soldering and having two seperate off the shelf PCBs is what I want to eliminate.

Following this discussion!

Are they though? Is it not in spotify's best interests to stuff your discover weekly with cheap(to them) music?

I have been holding on to spotify and each monday I have been saving my DW playlists (120+ weeks and counting), but lately it has been filled with cover songs and songs that are not very relevant. I am hardly adding any songs to my favourites from the DW playlist these days, this is in contrast from earlier when I would generally favourite a few songs atleast each week from the DW playlist.

It keeps things nice and tax compliant in my country, so that reduces overhead for me.

Apart from the major players like stripe and paypal, also consider checking out Lago.

The activation scripts are open source and available on github.

I personally take the HWID route, which you only need to do it once and the license persists between disk wipes and clean reinstalls.

I have recently installed W11 IoT LTSC on a 3rd gen Intel, the TPM requirement in this version is optional.

Displayport quality is miles ahead compared to the above on the same monitor. (I daily drive 2x Dell P2419H)

If you are going for a multi monitor build then the GT710 is a bad choice if you care about quality.

I would suggest something along the lines of a proper GPU which has a silent mode in which fans do not run unless they are under load. IIRC Asus STRIX cards and Zotac cards had the feature and I am sure other vendors also have something similar.

Ofcourse the best option would be to find a motherboard with a ton of displayport connections, but I did not find any!
