Quick News

So apparently Google are nerfing YouTubes performance on non Chromium browsers to make their seem faster, this has been tested and shown which I'm quite sure is against the EU's anti competitive/anti trust policy.

If you use Firefox you can test this yourself, I was wondering lately why YouTube was behaving weird but thankfully there's a fix.



That's a cool idea. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.


You're welcome :)

I'm not fully convinced by that video Dice, I didn't watch much past the looking up of JS. First off as far as I remember, that setTimeout method he's referring too he has incorrectly inferred it's usage and while he could still be correct, again not having gone through the whole thing, he never explored the inner laying functions JS was calling.

The 5E3 parameter(weird, I've never seen it written in scientific notation, only as whole number, ie 5000)being used is a delay, however that delay is issued AFTER that set time. It is NOT running immediately. So the functions inside run after the delay. Seeing as the video starts and is then refreshed immediately, I'm not seeing pure evidence based off the small snippets he showed.


I could be wrong but we need more information than what's shown here to make a conclusion. Finding one setTimeout function is not evidence of much considering that massive code shown in the video.


The only way I see it as true, is he got it all wrong at face value, but is correct in that after initial loading, a different function is kicking in that cause the weird issues, after the setTimeout parameter is met and refreshes the page. How YouTube tracks the number of refreshes before stopping the functions I did not see in the video.

Hope that makes sense. I posted this in a hurry.

Thousands of 4090's being dismantled in China for use with AI by changing out the coolers likely to be used in racks, I could likely sell my 4090 FE for double to a Chinese buyer :D

Owners, Myself included, Of Alienwares QD-OLED G-Sync Ultimate monitor, AW3423DW, Can now finally update firmware via a simple executable rather than having to send the monitor in.

Set the monitor to 60Hz, Disable notifications, Disable any power saving functions and the update takes about 5 minutes, Apparently helps with latency and screen flicker.

Nvidia feature that converts SDR games to HDR uncovered by modder -- RTX TrueHDR settings found in latest Game Ready driver.

This will likely be Nvidia's next feature to go along with their on the fly video SDR to HDR option in the current driver and according to a youtuber who does a lot of HDR orientated content it does it really well.
