Hardware console limitations. Everything but the SSD and RAM is proprietary and you can't upgrade it. Heck, it doesn't even have an audio output. The I/O sucks hard.

Yeah, it's close but the ps5 was released 6 years ago and it's cheaper. The Steam Machine's bang for buck is awful. It's a pc with console limitations and a pc price.

Except that you would need 50 devices to do that and the most expensive Netflix plan only lets you stream up to 4 devices at a time. Considering the average 2 hours per movie, that's 48 movies per day. That's without mentioning that you'd need to automate this because you'd be asleep for 8 of those 24 hours.

The point is, your analogy doesn't work. There's no reason why someone would do what you're describing and it'd also be very hard to do.

Using up all of your tokens though? Just use agentic coding, set the ""thinking"" to max and you'll see how quickly and easily you can burn through them. Share your account and you'll burn them even faster.

Google makes most of it's money from advertising - which works by tracking everything you do and building detailed profiles of you.

So the answer's "no"? Gotcha. I do try to avoid using google products and I do use extensions to try to prevent tracking. So maybe they're making less money off of me than others? Who knows.

This might not be intentional, but it sounds to me like whataboutism combined with "there is no perfect option, so we shouldn't do anything".

Not even close my friend. However, you can't fight every single battle. I try to pollute as little as possible, selfhost everything I can, don't buy things I don't really need, etc. Regarding youtube though? I just wanted to watch videos without ads on my tv and it cost me next to nothing to be able to do that.

Pro tip :P you can use "> " to quote text. It's easier to read.

It's like 5usd for a family plan in my country. I doubt that's making a dfference. Also, I sincerely doubt you're not using any Google services/products in your life. Not to mention that there are plenty of "evil inc"s out there.

Is there an advantage to using newpipe if I pay for premium?
