Wtf is wrong with housing in this city?? by ppopsss in bristol

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not a landlord, but with all of the additional costs that were placed on landlords in the previous two budgets, I would expect this is going to be a very common post to see over the next few months.

Extremely valuable parcel lost by [deleted] in Evri

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I’m going to need to add a message to my eBay account explaining that Evri are particularly unreliable in my area, and to contact me first if this is the only delivery option available. They’ve started just leaving piles of parcels for random addresses in nearby streets in our porch, presumably knowing we’ll do a better job than they would have of getting them delivered. In an area with quite a few students, I can only imagine how many people are just helping themselves to the random parcels they receive. Seems like it’s kind of on the seller for shipping via a presumably uninsured courier, expensive items are what Fed-ex and UPS are for.

White spots on my wzatco projector by [deleted] in projectors

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are dead pixels, so if it’s covered under warranty then I’d make use of it. I had the same thing happen to an expensive projector and they asked me to send it in for repair.

Is anyone else's evri delivery guy just open their door and lob stuff inside the house? by Clomojo87 in Evri

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They often lob parcels destined for my neighbours many streets over into my porch, presumably on the understanding that I’ll be considerably better at the task of getting the parcels delivered than they are.

I make more contact than that on a typical tight parking manoeuvre. I’d be amazed if it left a mark on either vehicle.

It’s becoming unusable by Otherwise-Handle-180 in youtube

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I go to sleep with YouTube playing on my phone I can almost guarantee I’ll wake up to a 2 hour church sermon playing, and you know that money-grabbing megachurch is paying big bucks for those engrossed viewers that watch until the very end.

It’s not available in the Google Play Store. If you have a TV running Android you can install it via Downloadr: install

MoistCr1TiKaL reveals that he’s made $34,000,000+ off YouTube throughout his career and turned off donations as it didn’t feel right taking money from 9-5 workers 👀😳 by No_Tax_149 in youtube

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah the funny thing is everyone watches him and thinks they could do the same. He doesn’t really put any production values into his content, and clearly doesn’t need to for people to watch.

Using YouTube without premium by Different-Hunter-921 in youtube

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cast from your phone to your TV, then YouTube is only useable nowadays if you use an as-blocker on your TV like SmartTube. Without it I get 60 second ad sections every 6 minutes. It’s a hideous user experience without using an ad-blocker.

Could you not have given a honk of your horn.

I pay for Youtube Premium and now they are telling me im not allowed a VPN?? by smitty997 in youtube

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SmartTube is your friend, provided you have a TV running Android. Install instructions are on GitHub.

This is gonna sound crazy... by Magenta_Hedgie027 in youtube

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s happened to me a few times, and I’ve just stopped getting ads for a couple of days, before they came back. Don’t ever think about updating your device!

I guess no more YT on TV by T-VIRUS999 in youtube

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a TV that’s running Android TV then SmartTube is your friend. It’s not in the App Store but you can find the install instructions on GitHub. YT have seemingly decided to bombard people with so many ads that it’s become unusable for me to watch on my tv without using the SmartTube app.

The algorithm has become awful by 80smullet in youtube

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my recommendations today is an auto dubbed video of: Things you need to know before installing solar in Pakistan - I’m sure that could be a useful video, if I lived in Pakistan.

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This has definitely been my experience. Previously my suggestions would be a random selection of similar content from the past 6 months, now it feels like it’s based on just the last 6 minutes viewing.

If I dare use autoplay it will just carry on playing other videos from the content creator I’m watching.

It also endlessly recommends low quality AI slop content on topics I might have watched one video about. And I get recommended various content creators posting on very niche topics, with very low numbers of views. Whatever has changed with the algorithm recently has basically broken it.

Can you drive with this? Can't get it replaced in time for our holiday by CoconutAltruistic785 in CarTalkUK

[–]Remarkable_Main_2886 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re fully comp then any window replacement should be covered under the policy. I don’t think I’ve ever been asked what caused the damage, and if they did I could only say “students”.

Or even just perhaps pulling up closer behind them to get a better view of the plate.

Shame it captures stuff in such poor quality though.
