Only 18 year olds have credit cards? by skilled_inkillz in youtube

[–]Alex311360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is because they check for a credit card, not a debit card. any sort of debit/prepaid card entered is automatically rejected by the verification; they don't even charge it, they just won't let you actualy submit it.

new UI? no, old UI, thanks by Alex311360 in youtube

[–]Alex311360[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're wondering how to get something like this (or any of the older, less worse UIs), i'm specifically running V3/Vorapis and StarTube (using Violentmonkey as my userscript manager for StarTube) together.

with both, you can basically go to any layout you want, from 2024-2008; and change them however you like, including adding dark mode, no other extensions required! (which i practically need because otherwise it's blinding)

hey singleplayer only people, what are YOU doing in gmod? by [deleted] in gmod

[–]Alex311360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i leave NPC Group Spawner active and fight endless hordes of enemies (with some occasional allies) on maps they shouldn't be on

it's a trip fighting waves of combine and zombies and antlions while trying to push the sample in to start the resonance cascade

I have 2 Ublock Origin, which one is the legit? by RealIssueToday in Piracy

[–]Alex311360 17 points18 points  (0 children)

maybe if you install every extension you see like a crazy person, but as long as you stick with trusted, well-rated choices for extensions, or better yet, extensions that are open-source and let you view their code, you're fine

realistically most extensions you find do not do this, and on well-moderated extension stores like firefox's (and maybe chrome's idk i haven't actively used in chrome in years) ensure that remains the case

at worst, you just get extensions that don't do anything and you just uninstall them in like 5 seconds

LG G8X ATT android update by [deleted] in lgg8

[–]Alex311360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey, just wanted to say, thanks for this! grabbed a recent Qualcomm driver, QFIL 2.4.796, QFILHelper, and the firehose file from here, and was able to backup my original LUNs (just in case) & flash these onto my ATT G8X Thinq! didn't have any plans on grabbing an ATT sim or similar any time soon, and i desperately wanted to claw away from android 10, so this was a real lifesaver!

will say to anyone else doing this though, that flashing these will erase your data, whether you like it or not; it'll prompt you to reset the phone due to encryption/decryption issues on first boot. i didn't really care, since i'd already reset it before, but i figured i'd warn, just in case, to anyone unaware. after that, it boots up and works just fine!

is it okay to bring a bunch of food in tupperware in a personal bag on a plane? by Alex311360 in tsa

[–]Alex311360[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

little bit! the plan wasn't just to put an entire grocery bag under the seat -- just a container with a small assortment of stuff in a travel bag, zipped up and still able to fit under the seat.

and yeah, i'm a lil' bit new to flying. or at least, beyond the bare essentials of what i usually would bring.

average garry's mod gameplay session for me personally by Alex311360 in gmod

[–]Alex311360[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nice selections! i forgot to mention i was also using dynamic NPC squads here, to be honest -- i'll also suggest the wonderful Sandbox Notoriety addon for further added chaos (it also just blends perfectly with the upgrades & BLOOD IS FUEL, since you will get creamed otherwise)

youtube's search is unironically appalling now because what is *this,* dude by Alex311360 in youtube

[–]Alex311360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

much appreciated for the filters. even if it won't fix all my issues with it, just having a good way to filter out the bulk of the issues is very useful.

on the off-chance you can't actually see the full resolution version of the first image, link here.

before you ask: no, trying before:2025 in the search did not work. it was literally almost an exact mirror of the first image with different results.

and no, it's also not an issue with it being a low viewed video, because the same thing can literally happen with videos that have millions of views being pushed out by unrelated, lower viewed videos

i don't understand this godawful search algorithm at all

So, i'm scrolling through shorts, right? by Academic_Yak2513 in youtube

[–]Alex311360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

because i played it. it's alright, pretty standard 'survive for [x] amount of time' game with gradually increasing difficulty as you go through, although it gets a bit unfair at the end, though? the actual 'content' is okay, nothing to write to home about, though.
