YouTube doesn't let me watch without turning off my VPN? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It does, I've found Albania, Estonia and Nigeria skip the issue at least. If anyone else got server recommendations that work feel free to drop! I should probably clarify that my Mullvad connection is a barebones Wireguard one running on top of Tailscale

Sometimes the more commonly used servers like UK start working for a few hours/days but that never lasts. The 3 listed are basically bulletproof in my experience though

And yea, using a frontend will not bypass this. Unless that frontend is an online downloader like Cobalt.tools or amp4.cc. Or Invidious I guess but that... Has its own issues

This maybe affects Mullvad so strongly cause they never bother hididng/swapping their server IPs and don't have a particularly large plethora of them unlike competitors?

Tryna build a PC using local shops in the UK (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, first time PC builder here. I've done some research and know what parts I want, but pretty much every guide lists either online stores or US based brick and mortar shops. Seeing as its my first time I think a physical location I can go back to would be a good help. But I can't really find much info on what retailers are reputable/operate as chain stores. Not gonna give away too much about my location but any located in the East Midlands of the UK would be great.

Can anyone explain what the difference between these 2 similar motherboards are? in c/[email protected]

Thank you thank you, yea we already tried repairing it but didn't get that to work unfortunately. Nonetheless, thanks for the advice, I'll be looking for one that matches then.

Hi, first post on reddit in general but couldn't think of anywhere else to ask, this is for the motherboard of an AIO PC my family's been using, it got damaged and I've been trying to source a replacement. https://www.ebay.com/itm/156622853448

This matches it perfectly, but the majority of Boards that come up when I look up "Dell 7700 i7-1165G7 Motherboard" or some variant do not as seen here

https://www.ebay.com/itm/404654665907 The difference in question is besides the CPU die and below the CMOS battery. There's like 3 controllers(?) amongst other things that are on mine/the first link's mobo but aren't on the rest. The descriptions on most of these listings aren't very helpful in finding out the difference either. Just wanted to know what I should be looking for or how much this matters(or just a link to actual documentation on the board,failed to find Dell's own site myself but could have missed it).

What's the point of Privacy Frontends that support loggin in with your normal accounr? in c/[email protected]

Hmmm yea if they still bother going after such a frontend then they likely lose something anyway, didn't know about this. Thanks

Hello, while I use frontends where possible in place of the original websites/apps I do find it interesting that some of them, mostly referring to the Youtube ones still allow you to login normally? I understand this is to bypass blocks and that in theory the frontend still tries to limit what it sends back to Google but in practice how does this work without killing the privacy aspect?

Nah, I've just heard some keep features like ANC and stuff locked there. Never really owned a pair myself so I wanted to ask for more info first.

Really glad to hear all the advice so far too! I'll look into the recommendations given so far.

Any Non Invasive TWS Earbuds/Manfuacturers? (lemmy.ml)
 

Hi, title's rather explanatory I think but I was considering getting a pair of TWS buds for convenience sake since cables are sometimes not an option for me. But I know a lot of modern buds make you get apps that request a large amount of questionable permissions(even if you deny them, the requests in and of itself feels like a red flag) and likely send your data away. So I was wondering if there were any options that were cleaner. Thanks for the help!
