They inject those directly. It’ll block all of Google’s other ads though.

How many is that, in bananas? Or school buses?

I mean, it’s shady for headlines, but it’s not false. The board are residents, and the did vote it down. Then they “settled” and I’m betting it was a pittance compared to the data center value. In reality, it was probably a situation where whomever was backing the data center said to throw lawyers and/or money at the problem until it went away.

It can block ads on your whole home network and your mobile devices when not at home. I pay like $20/year and I never see ads. I still run block on my Mac.

No way, you need a wider angle shot of the meth super lab for the meme to even come close to describing the enshittification run that YT and Google as a whole as on.

NextDNS makes all of the browser stuff you’re talking about moot, other than ads served by the app/site itself. Also blocks ads in apps, games, etc. I can’t even remember what it was like to play a mobile game that has video ads jammed in your face.

It’s roughly twice the size of the base app, if it’s the same as Edge, which on my machine is 1.82GB. It’s shady as hell, but “massive” is doing a lot of lifting in this headline.

I built my original Windows 10 gaming PC in 2015, with 16GB RAM. I recently re-rolled it as a CachyOS gaming PC, and had the same RAM. All was fine. VRAM on the other hand, yeah, go big or don’t bother. I thought I was getting a great deal on a RTX 5050 with 8GB VRAM. It is woefully inadequate for modern AAA games, for sure. Thank goodness for protondb.com though.

RTX 5090 is only $4000 right now… /s

YMMV depending on the types of games you play. GPU-bound ones (most, these days) will suffer without a good GPU. CPU-bound games (Civilization series comes to mind) are easier to build for.

I was hoping the RAM shortage and resulting VRAM price hikes would force the game development industry to renew a focus on performance and efficiency in resource utilization, but I think they are just trying to ride out this likely multi-year RAM price gouging we’re currently in.

So, big block of ice?

It’s funny, I read a separate article on Lemmy earlier this week about the worst traffic offender in NYC actually being a NYPD cop…

Lol, exile form NYC, love it.

They must not know about how terrible DX12 games perform with Nvidia cards…

This is good news. Better news would be dropping the bill, but at least this won’t hurt FOSS.
