  • It still is for the creators there. Instead of browsing the algorithm I start on the subscriptions page, to only see uploads from people I actually want to.

    There’s sometimes complaints about “I thought you were dead” when the channel has been uploading regularly the entire time. People just never got recommended the videos despite hitting all the buttons.

    For example, did you know both Physics Girl and Tom Scott have returned this month - hopefully a sign that the world can still heal.


    Some unsolicited add-on recommendations -

    Ublock origin - beyond the addblocking, I use the picker tool to filter all the extra sections like “news”, “trending” “you might like” etc.

    Unhook - toggles to disable a bunch of features like comments, home screen, end screen etc.

    Enhancer for Youtube - Themeing and a bunch of extra settings like setting defaults for each video. speed, volume, resolution, fill screen (which is different than full screen), PIP while you scroll comments. (The author just did a rework, so it can be a little bugged sometimes - reinstalling it fixed it for me last time it went wonky.












  • Ah, I wasn’t up to date with the flint 3 issues. From what I gather, they are using some Qualcomm chip that makes life harder.

    If you are looking to reflash, it seems flint 2 is defiantly the way to go.

    From your original post, it seemed you were looking for more frequent updates, which is why I suggested the newer 3e.

    As for technical differences, 3e has WiFi 7. Beside that, quickly skimming the specs pages, I don’t see any other big differences. Is that worthwhile? Probably not.

    I wonder if the upcoming flint 4 will have the same Qualcomm chip, or if they do something different. I also worry they are releasing more products than they can sustain long term.
