I had a quick look and apparently it started when he made a video on how to dump Switch games to ROMs and he showed 30 seconds of footage from Super Mario 3D World. Beyond that, almost all of his most recent video thumbnails contain emulators with Nintendo games on them.

The legal question aside, he's obviously trying to drive engagement by using Nintendo IP and it's no surprise that they eventually noticed him with his half a million subscribers. The risk taking surprises me considering what we know about Nintendo and that YouTube is awful do deal with. They even gave LTT a strike despite almost 16 million followers.

It's an interesting idea but missing vital features for me. For example, the star in Chrome tells me that I have bookmarked this page in the past so I avoid having duplicate bookmarks even after editing the name. The standard synchronization also makes it easy to bookmark a link on my phone and then deal with it once I'm back at my computer. Now I would have to figure out a way to somehow download the URL as a file on my phone so it syncs to my computer. The favicon is another neat thing to have on bookmarks.

Somewhere along the way it just feels like a backup makes more sense.

What is the real problem on having duplicates? They are only 1 KB files.

Having duplicates with different names is even better, and helps to find it more easily in the future: let's say I have bookmarked 2 times this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19165259/python-numpy-sc...:

1. "python numpy/scipy curve fitting"

2. "scipy.optimize.curve_fit question"

Later I can find it with query="curve fitting", or I can also find it with query="optimize". So it increases the chance of me finding it again :)

It's probably tied to how I use bookmarks but I strive for quality over quantity. Some are just temporary until I get the chance to write down the important information or watch the video - others are more constant, but when I go through and purge bookmarks I want them gone. They will just clutter my bookmarks, waste time and make it difficult to find things. In your example about bookmarking the question I would instead transcribe the knowledge to Obsidian and link to the source.

Not saying there's a right or wrong. Just down to how people treat bookmarks.

The problem with dupes is pollution, e.g. of search results, and increased cost of maintenance

In your example, how do you add/change tags for the same url if you have multiple files (and you don't even know how many)?

Which is a can of worms by itself which we saw this year with xz-utils.

yes, and we are going to see a lot more of that, unfortunately. heartbleed was another somewhat similar case, and though the debian openssl hole was probably accidental, nobody will ever be able to prove that conclusively

Should probably mention that it's your own software and that it cost $5. Not that the money really matters.

Also should mention that it's MIT licensed, not MIT software.

But a cool program nonetheless!

Thank you for pointing out the potential ambiguity in saying "MIT open source". I can't edit my comment at this point in time - I'll be more clear next time.

It looks like the binary is $5 but it’s an open source electron app, so pretty easy to just clone the repo and build it yourself

:) I tried to make it as easy as possible to build your own copy. At the moment it should be as simple as `npm install` and `npm run electron` (two commands with no other setup to create the installer -- all in under 5 minutes)

There are and you can get cheap noname Chinese ones for as low as $10.

Unfortunately most of them are terrible. I've played with it on and off for years and even gotten individual tools for $100+ but still have issues. It's a bit of a mess with PAL/NTSC, different recommended settings, and at the end of the day you still need a high quality VCR to extract all the data. Those tend to go for hundreds of dollars here. You also need a time base corrector (some VHS have them built in I believe) to avoid dropping frames and causing desync.

A common suggestion is to just get a VHS->DVD recorder and then rip the DVD. You lose out on quality but it usually works and will save you a ton of time.

The suggestion by OP is probably if you truly want to maximize the quality.

That wasn't the average house which is partly why Simpsons had a whole storyline about how they could afford it. A more likely reason is probably the growth of the single-person households which grew from 6.9% in the 60s to 38% now. People live alone and they eat alone.

We don't know what was said between the author and the police. As stated in the article, it's a cold case where the search had been going on for years and they had several witnesses claiming to have seen the car in a different location.

Finding a car isn't that uncommon. I know one youtuber doing these kind of things found three cars at the same location when searching for a missing person. In Sweden we have one talked about waterfilled hole with at least 17 cars but no one wants to deal with it due to the costs and environmental issues if you start pulling them.

I support the message about allowing legal speech but this is ridiculous:

> Three actors have the ability to delete a comment: the user who posted it, the social media platform, or the owner of the channel or page, where the comment was made. This report does not have the capability to distinguish between these three scenarios. [..] Therefore, this report treats the three reasons for comment disappearance as a single phenomenon.

There's no connection at all with EU laws if they include the posts I delete myself.

What is safe and in what way does the Safety Advisory Council improve it? The group that created a very toxic environment around Twitch when it included a political activist identifying as a deer (!) that threatened to silence everyone.

This is being faded, but I want to double-down: This is true, they're really that crazy.

My previous laptop was a $180 Thinkpad that stayed with me for five years. The claim that _most_ IT workers can't afford that and are forced to do their private stuff on a company computer sounds preposterous.
