They also trained the AI for that video on the band members' own artwork, so the video is focused despite the trippy visuals and avoids copyright issues.

Absolutely, this is what is going to happen when the average person gets to use AI- "well, the computer says..."

Re:Dow drops 600 points as confusion grows after U.S. tariffs on Monday February 23, 2026 @07:45PM (#47131310)
Why would they? When the tariffs go into effect, companies can raise prices.

When the tariffs get rolled back, companies can enjoy the increased revenue by not lowering their prices back down.

This is a great deal for them, so they'll keep donating to Trump.

I recently did a rewatch where I replaced the audio in 'Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite' with Pink Floyd's 'Echoes'. It really changed the experience for me. Going into 20+ minutes of psychedelic rock after over 100 minutes of classical music really made it feel like a transformative experience.
I got a used Quest 2 last year for exactly this reason

You cannot "get away" from politics. Burying your head in the sand will not insulate you from what is happening.

I'm replacing my Roku TV with a Google TV next month so I can take advantage of these as well, it's been a pain having them only on my phones/computers.
Re:YouTube confirms your pause screen is now fair game for ads on Wednesday September 18, 2024 @11:29PM (#41588210)
I swapped to Revanced on mobile and a combo of UBO + sponsorblock on desktop after the most recent price increase. Definitely not regretting it after hearing this.

My partner is dealing with the same thing. Could you elaborate on the eastern medicine you used to treat your case?
the subreddit r/lepin (named after a knockoff brand) is all about lego-compatible brick sets and has a wiki with known good brands.
Same here. I'm planning on replacing my Roku TV with a Google/Android TV model and replacing the launcher to avoid ads. Then I'll sideload a YouTube client that has sponsorblock and adblock so I can get the benefits of YT Premium.

Good games stick with you. Masterpieces raise the standard.
Sponsorblock does allow you to whitelist specific channels. Should be in the settings somewhere, I've only ever done it via the ReVanced app but it should still be an option on desktop.

Only for the people who could afford to gamble on the market. That accelerated the growth of inequality, which can be seen today.
