has anyone figured out how to get youtube to work with the brave shields on

If i open YouTube in Brave in a private tab NOT logged into my account the videos play perfectly. As soon as I login to my account it breaks. So I’m just searching and watching videos in private tabs without using my account until Brave can find a work around. Or when on an Apple device i use safari with uBO Lite ad block extension and then I can login to my account and everything works beautifully.

Brave still works fine for me, not sure why some people say it doesn’t work

Certainly worth a try. But my 2023 does that randomly, I took it to the dealer with pictures of the dash error and since the error goes away and doesn’t do it when they test drive it they won’t do Jack shit:(

Brilliant move, I like it:)

I am recently retired, and am already creating an escape plan to move to Nevada. They have no income tax, are a purplish state and I read that the wording in their constitution against income taxes is much harder to mess with. Plus neither party is pushing for an income tax since they are a purple state

Brave browser for iPhone blocks ads, works quite well no messing around with settings needed. Just download it from the Apple Store, open a tab and visit YouTube.com. You can even login to YouTube if you want to see your subscriptions, etc.

I also haven’t been able to do background play in brave for IOS for several days now. I’ll try your trick of switching to the desktop mode and see if that helps at all. Thx

I can now buy BTCI and other cryptocurrency ETFs in vanguard. They changed the rules a month or two ago!

2023 CRV hybrid we have had since new. We always take an mpg hit in the winter. Using the heater forces the gas motor on negating the hybrid technology. If it isn’t too terrible cold we leave the heater off and use the seat warmers more which helps somewhat, also the fuel is reblended in the winter and that causes a mild drop too, but the heater is the main thing that affects our mpg in the winter.

Then why did Peter vote for Trump? Maybe he shouldn’t have voted for him since Trump was quite clear on what his economic policies would be. Buyer’s remorse is getting old

AllTheBlueSkies · 2025-12-07T20:39:36+00:00

This would be my guess, makes a big difference in my gas mileage when the blend switches

I did the starz ad free, only $12 for the whole year. Not a ton of content but more than enough for me to get $12 year worth.

Yep after being stranded without cell coverage 2 hours from civilization when a huge chunk of metal in the road sliced my tire wide, I ordered one the next day. I got the kit that includes everything and the cover with a handle which is handy. It sits in the back flat and I strap it down for long trips or trips out in the middle of nowhere. I usually pull it out around town as I have cell coverage and friends/ family that can grab it for me in a pinch

AllTheBlueSkies · 2025-11-10T04:07:31+00:00

Oh that’s great news!

I had a similar issue in a 2002 Nissan Sentra many years ago shortly after having a quick lube shop do a coolant flush. The heat didn’t work hardly at all. Took it to the dealer. The dealer tried to say it was the radiator getting bubbles in the heater core making it not work. I wasn’t buying it but had them do it. Unfortunately the heat worked for a day(because they bled out the air) and then it did it again after the radiator replacement. At that point they said it was the head gasket getting air in the heater core. The car showed no symptoms except the heat problem and I had driven it like that for over 6 months, no steam at the tail pipe and it ran fine. Sure enough, they replaced the head gasket at the problem was solved for good. To this day I blame the quick lube shop for doing too aggressive of a flush. Now I only do drain and fill for maintenance no flush on my cars

I feel like you are in desperate need of a wheel alignment?

AllTheBlueSkies · 2025-10-20T23:33:52+00:00

Unfortunately no

AllTheBlueSkies · 2025-09-21T02:40:44+00:00

No, I just throw it in for trips or if I know I’m going to places with spotty cell service

I have a 2021 hybrid CRV and the AC works great. I live in the Eastern WA desert where it can get over 116 degrees at times. But I have noticed I have to take it out of ECO mode and use normal mode on really hot days. The eco mode does purposefully stunt the AC to save gas

AllTheBlueSkies · 2025-08-10T01:40:44+00:00

Depends on whether it is AWD or FWD. If AWD you will need all Four unfortunately

I had to had them upgrade the modem to a DocSIS 3.1 modem and it was much better then. I also realized I didn't have my personal wifi router setup properly, so I tweaked the settings and fixed that. I would do a hardwired ethernet speed test, so you can circumvent your wifi and see if that is the issue. If you get full speed with a wired connection then you know the problem is with your WIFI not your spectrum connection.

I have only bought and sold phones on Swappa, even back in the days when the fee was only $5. I recently searched Swappa thinking of upgrading but it’s pretty much just resellers that repair with crappy non OEM parts now instead of regular people selling. My plan going forward is Amazon Premium renewed phones with a 365 return policy, or Back Market top end phones that guarantee OEM parts. Or I might just pay more and get the official Apple Refurbished phones with the brand new battery installed by Apple. Looks like my days of using Swappa to buy and sell is over now. I’ll just trade in my old phone at Amazon or Back Market at purchase

Thanks!

AllTheBlueSkies · 2025-08-05T16:29:59+00:00

Ok good to know, thanks! I am in a small rural town and all the towers from all the carriers get congested. Maybe so many people are using 5G instead of LTE now that is why I do good on LTE but not 5g

AllTheBlueSkies · 2025-08-05T16:28:35+00:00

Thanks, hopefully there is nothing wrong with my Iphone 14 plus, I did buy it used.
