“You also enlightened me on how YouTube is a resource hog. That answered why my laptop battery sometimes goes down faster than expected - open YouTube tabs. Good to know.”
Back again because this reminded me of something. About ten years ago for awhile Youtube was taking over and using your camera and microphone without permission. And that was just landing on their site. Not an account, not logged in nothing, just as guest user. They either do not do t anymore or they have figuered out how to sneak it in without anyone knowing. Google is Government surveillance. I am sorry to see the FR now has it included from their current hosting.
Dang. Had this computer for a full year now and totally forgot to tape over the camera.
No gold found but hope springs eternal.
It's hard to criticize the young for loving TikTok when YouTube is more-or-less the adult version; which may be spying on us like the Chinese have been spying on the kids.
This aggressive push by Microsoft to make everyone use Co-Pilot (which is apparently irreversible) further justifies my paranoia.
