Perhaps due to the reasons that executed prisoners need to be injected with a suspicious cocktail of drugs. No company wants to be connected to the death of a person. Perhaps they are worried they won’t be able to supply parts and components once the news gets out about what their product does.
It’s pretty stupid to introduce ads on the pause screen. Usually I would pause something because I am either:
A) Being interrupted and need to focus on something else like a phone call or a family member talking to me, and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.
B) Need to leave to go somewhere else like the fridge for a snack and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.
Or
C) Just want to take a break and want to do something else which involves opening another window or program and wouldn’t be paying attention to the window with YouTube open.
In every scenario where I pause YouTube and add playing would not provide any value to the entity paying YouTube to play the ad.
And in every scenario, if an ad began playing when I pause youtube it would cause me to mute my sound and/or turn off my monitor and just cause me to get super annoyed at YouTube or at whatever product is being advertised and how to never buy it ever.
Lol, YouTube
Might sound stupid, but perhaps then they shouldn’t be offering services like Disney Plus and instead simply offer a car that lets you download any streaming app you have your own subscription for.
Products that change the service they offer after you purchase it should also be eligible for a full refund (plus a % on top for the hassle). Such as offering a service through the product for free at the time of purchase but then moving it being a monthly subscription paywall later on, or just removing the feature completely.
I view phoning someone like popping over to their house and knocking on the door to chat with no prior warning. No one likes that.
Every update with these new UI changes seems to increase empty wasted space each time
Unless it were like $0.20 a month which is equivalent to buying a $25 every ten years, there’s no point.
But they will probably try and charge something stupid like $5 a month or $10 a month for their supreme collectors edition package.
I already put my phone down on my desk and turn the audio down whenever an ad pops up, they can’t tell it isn’t being viewed.
I would settle for something that simply turns the screen black and turns audio off whenever ads play. I don’t care if YouTube gets paid for it, I just want to decrease the value of ads and prevent myself from seeing them.
Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn’t disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It’s still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.
I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.
Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I’m on the road and haven’t delved too deeply into it
Edit: Type to Typo
I much prefer random ads anyways. Targeted ads are 90% something You’ve already recently bought.
With random ads sometimes you see something interesting that you didn’t even know you wanted because you didn’t know it even existed.
If I’m looking for a laptop I don’t care to see 1000 ads for laptops, I’m not going to just click an ad and buy one I need to research and deep dive into the kind I want.
Personally I’ve never had an issue with Asus products but have had numerous quality issues with Acer. Bought a number of small Acer laptops and the hinges kept breaking because they only put one screw in the hold the hinge instead of two in many of them.
Again the excuse of ‘no politics’
YOU CAN’T AVOID POLITICS
Accepting contracts from Israel is just as political as denying contracts from Israel. You just stated your political stance by accepting. Why do people think it’s a free copout?
Big bang happened once, why not twice?
So instead of giving people notice so they can change their information they decide to sit on it until they cover their asses. Typical.
Can we please go back to different names for different products…?
Why have surface pro and surface laptop when you can just have surface pro for the tablets and something else for the laptop?
Makes it so much more difficult when trying to troubleshoot shit.
Oh, wait this is the same company that named completely separate software “Outlook” and “Outlook (new)”…
They should have little nozzles to disperse a cloud of pepper spray around the vehicle in emergencies.
