Use SmartTube Next instead of the YouTube app.
On PC:
1. Use Firefox.
2. Browse YouTube as normal and select a video.
3. When the ad blocker blocker kicks in, right click the tab and open it in a container where you have not signed in to Google.
Yup. Google are only penalising logged in users, non users can ad block to their heart's content.

NO GOVERNMENT MANDATED EQUIPMENT WILL BE CONNECTED TO MY NETWORK! FFS
Not to mention what about people who do not have Internet? And who would pay for this? I charge £1,000 per month for access to my home network, thanks.
It would also open the door to meter tampering by tampering with the packets travelling across the home network and give no recourse because the network does not belong to the utility or the government.
> No, turn off the stuff that does no tneed to be on
So what should I turn off? The fridge? The freezer? The computer I'm using? Or the two lights that are on in rooms where there are people atm?
I know all the devices in use in my house and they are only used when needed. A shit "smart" meter will not chnage that in any way.
I would only gain one advantage by fitting a smart meter.... EDF might stop calling at 8am every Saturday trying to persuade me to fit a smart meter.
I've been using Windows since the 80s and have never paid for it. Every install has been legit and not pirated.
I've also never had Windows show me an advert for anything other than a Windows upgrade or maybe Skype. I've seen similar adverts on the various Linux distros I've used since the 90s.
> If your car can get 40% of the 9.5kWh out of a litre of petrol, and is not harder to push down the road than my EV, then it should get at least 19 miles per litre -- more if my EV is less than 100% efficient -- or 85 1/2 miles per gallon. Does it?
My old 125cc motorcyle used to get over 90 miles to the gallon, no problem.
SpaceX and Starlink are not competitors.
SpaceX and Jeff's BO are barely competitors given BO have never built a rocket that can go to space and SpaceX have launched over 60 of them this year.
Jeff's BO is in the same league as North Korea when it comes to being a successful space launch provider.
> Bezos' satellite constellation still lacking any spacecraft in orbit
He needs to figure out how to get to space first. Oh and how to build a rocket.
Jeff's BO has never launched a rocket into space, sub-orbital hops below the Karman Line do not count as anything other than high altitude flight.
