That depends on how many people are in the family and how many people are paying their fair share. Odds are that the children won't pay because, well, they're children. Teenagers might pay their way depending on if they have a job or not. And many households only have one primary source of income (with maybe a side job providing just a little extra). Which means most people would probably be footing the bill themselves for the whole family.

First, backup your uBlock Origin settings. Next, try resetting your uBlock Origin settings.

For TV, assuming you have an Android TV, you can use SmartTube.

For mobile, use ReVanced. It'll ask you to provide an APK of a specific version of the YouTube app, which you can download from here.

For PC, use Firefox and the uBlock Origin adblocker. I know you said you don't use Chrome, but I'll explain why people are saying not to use it specifically with uBlock Origin: Basically, with Chrome's update to Manifest v3, that'll greatly impact uBlock Origin and its ability to do its job.

All three options above also include the ability to enable/ install something called SponsorBlock. SponsorBlock uses community submissions to (based on the user's preference) either skip or give the option to skip portions of a video such as sponsorship segments or "like and subscribe" segments among other things.

Based on the description, it looks like it's designed to be able to block or allow 3rd party stuff on webpages. For example, it looks like, if you wanted to, you could block Twitter embeds from loading in a given news article. I imagine it can also block hidden 3rd party stuff, too, the kind that you only notice if you look at the network tab in the browser's console.

To add to this, often, even if you turn off Bluetooth, your devices can still communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy, something that's separate from classic Bluetooth and typically (to my knowledge) cannot be turned off. As an example, I've heard that Google uses it to send ad targeting info between devices.

They also have a warp core breach like every other week on the show.

Wouldn't yt-dlp be forced to download the server-side ads, too?

Wasn't that proven to just be a myth?

The house would have to have like 5-10 of them. One for every room in the house.

Honestly, I can't sleep without any white noise.

Without it, it's just quiet. Too quiet...

So it's Scoop, but for Linux? (That's a compliment. I love Scoop.)

Like the other guy said, it's not always true.

For example, even when you're physically in the store, a T-Mobile employee may require you to read back a code that their system texted to you for certain transactions like buying a new phone for someone on your account or something like that.
