You’re right… it does go a lot deeper. If you’re in the USA, your local community college might have classes. Consider starting with some formal instruction. The problem with YouTube is that you (the one lacking knowledge) has to decide whether the YouTuber knows what they’re doing. There’s a lot of great stuff on YouTube, but there’s plenty of wrong and unsafe stuff too.

Also, avoid super cheap tools for the tools that interface with screws, nuts, and bolts, like wrenches, sockets, screwdrivers, hex and torx drivers. Cheap tools make it wasier to damage screw heads and bolts.

Training courses and apprenticeships; there are a lot of specialized tools, techniques, and diagnostic procedures that aren’t obvious. Self guided usually results in doing a lot of things the wrong way.

They should just mandate that the child pornographers set the evil bit. It would save the EU leaders the trouble of learning how cryptography works.

It happened to me as well. Using reddit behind a VPN seems to trigger that pretty fast. I’d bet if she goes to your profile page ie, u/theNameYouChose) it will say the account is deleted to her, but you can still log in.

YouTube is drowning in it, and Google/YT leadership either doesn’t care or doesn’t seem to realize it. I started using Grayjay recently, subscribed to just creators I like. And for the first time in a long while, my feed isn’t two-thirds AI slop. It’s made YouTube tolerable again.

And yet… I would’t bat an eye if I saw a new executive order tomorrow requiring that.
