I would install Windows first, then the others after. Then you may need to edit Grub to help address the various partitions.

Used to run over 40 drives. Backblaze pointed out those Toshiba's. Man they do not die.

To buy houses and cars and cruises and such?

This.

Parent comes, sees the content isn't what the kid should be watching, presses OK and goes back to work. They don't watch the ad. They have mental filters setup cause they left their kid watching singing cats and if it isn't singing cats, they move on.

OK. I can see this, but they aren't watching it themselves. Anyway, must make sense to someone. Newpipe has spoilt me and I am grateful for this.

But the parents aren't watching the ads or the shows They are in the working from home office. So all they do is press ok and move on. But I can see your point.

To blast ads to the wrong target audience? At some point, the ad owner will see a decline in returns. We had 1 million views and less than 0.1% returns in the form of enquiries/sales. Seems like a totally bad investment.

YouTube has to be a scam. (self.enshittification)
 

Above is one of my 2 year old nephew's favourite channels. He watches them everyday. For his parents who work from home, it's the greatest thing. If an ad comes up, he cries and they know something is up.

However, they are clicking the ok button on the TV far too often per video cause of this.

They run that 90+ sponsored content so frequently it's become crap. I've seen Land Rover ads, the one above is a house, and the most annoying is when they run other cartoons like Thomas the Tank Engine or something. If the kid wanted that, no problem. But right now the singing cats are his jam. Cars, property? Someone is paying actual money to get ads in front of 2 year old kids?

Tell me this isn't a scam.

You need to check your error logs. Assuming a Linux setup it would be somewhere around /var/logs/*

Does anyone know if we are paying tariffs for face eating leopards? I can foresee high demand.

[–] nicgentile 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Send me the details. I'm definitely interested.

Varies between Autozone, FCPEuro, Amazon, Ebay and the junkyard. Saved quite a bit with junkyard parts.

 

I've hit rock bottom on this. I want a basic ~$20+ per hour job where I answer calls, chats, emails and help people with whatever they need from home. I don't mind working nights, long hours, overtime, holidays, I have basically nothing to do.

I have experience, I have technical skills, customer support skills, I have led 2 teams, switched to data entry, but the last close to 100 applications have led me nowhere. I imagined it would be easy to get into Amazon support or something like that, but dang, I am not getting anywhere. All I see are bait and switch jobs to sell insurance, or travel agency stuff, or benefits or some sort of MLM.

I got into CloudWorkers with the hopes it is some sort of legit cause I am in deep crap.

I have 2 - 3 weeks where I need to figure this one out, and this in the end of the second month looking for work.

Seriously, why is it this hard?

At my work, they recently cleared out the lost and found and were going to trash stuff. I ended up with a clean practically new iPad. The previous owner was not contactable for over a year. He left his Apple details on and his passcode was 12345 (I kid you not). I want to unlock it from his Apple account so that I can hard reset it. What can I do here?

*Edit: So, after exploring it a bit more, I found a password list in the Passwords. Literally, the first password I put in was the correct one. Lol. It has been freed.
