Dark mode might be burning more juice than you think
Not for me!
I really dislike dark mode, I don't read books with white text on black paper and don't want to do it on a screen.
I don't see a problem with the screen being "too bright" or "straining my eyes" ... my eyes are 70 years old and have no problems.
If you like it dark fine, but it's not for me!

Firefox slow to load YouTube? Just another front in Google's war on ad blockers
Grumble
I was using Vivaldi browser for a long time with Ublock Origin... no ads for crap I won't buy, suddenly I get the "3 views left" message. Clearing the cache and updating Ublock worked for a week, but now it's unusable. Switched to Librawolf, all good again.
Watching ads for crap I will never buy is wasting my time and theirs, if things get worse I will give up on YT completely... then they will be sorry!

Apple antique aficionados can boot to the future with OpenCore Legacy Patcher
Nice!
I got a 2009 imac for a silly price on Ebay, got it working on El Capitan, used Open Core Patcher to install Ventura, works well but a little slow opening apps, will replace the spinning rust with an SSD soon, that should help.
There is a nice Youtube video that walks you the install, step by step... works well, but I thought my machine was stuck in a boot - reboot cycle... after about 40 minute if finally arrived at the bootscreen :)

After many many calls from a firm asking about the accident I never had (once 3 times in the same day) I asked to be removed from their list, when they called again a said "I hope you get cancer and your children die in a fire" For some reason they never called me again... was it something I said??
