The latest Search Engine episode - The Dave & Buster's Anomaly was so Reply All coded.

But The Roman Mars Mazda Virus episode is still my fav investigation. I am surprised PJ didn't mention it even once, considering how similar both bugs were.

Compelled by those atrocious Parle Marie ads, I wrote a tiny browser extension to auto mute certain IPL ads on Hotstar.

It actually works really well and also mutes Vimal, Kamla Pasand, My11, Pokerbaazi etc ads out of the box.

Is there anywhere you can buy Nathan Fielder's laptop harness thing from The Rehearsal for cheap in India?

one of the pet peeves is when a yt video begins with a highlight from later in the video, then jumps back to the beginning. I already clicked play, you don’t have to sell it to me anymore.

I love the SponsorBlock and DeArrow browser add-ons for yt, are there any to skip these intros too?

It wasn't the NYT, but close enough!

(I hope they got a good pay out from The Atlantic for this because it's such a fun game)

Wrote about how everyone knows all the apps you have on your phone, especially all the Indian companies:

Everyone knows what apps you use
Until a few years ago, any app you installed on an Android device could see all other apps on your phone without your permission.

Block YouTube Ads on AppleTV by Decrypting and Stripping Ads from Profobuf
Apple TV and iOS YouTube ads are not blocked by Pi-hole, so I researched this and discovered a flaw in Protobuf that allows me to restrict YouTube ads.

Common Side Effects is such a good show. The animation, the characters, the subject, and the whole vibe - looks fantastic and unlike anything i've seen in a long while

"recommending the Amazon Fresh Classic Potato Chips as the best plain potato chip fundamentally misunderstands the spiritual and practical place of the potato chip"

Love this critic of The Wirecutter's The Best Plain Potato Chip recommendations

The Wirecutter Is Wrong About The Best Plain Potato Chip - Aftermath
The Wirecutter has selected the Amazon Fresh brand as their winner for the Best Plain Potato Chip. This is spiritually wrong.

in veep S3E4 around the 13:48 mark on hotstar - a very unsettling and weird clip breifly flashes on the screen and then disappears. After that the audio for the entire episode becomes distorted. Can be reproduced on their app/tv/website

JioHotstar website is currently broken on the latest version of Firefox. This is due to Firefox v136 introducing a new browser API called CookieStore, which enforces a 1024 byte cookie size limit and two of Hotstar’s cookies exceed this limit. I've got a temporary workaround 👇

This was one of the few good sources for reliable AQI data in India.

The AirNow gov website that hosted this data is now dead. The historical data was on another domain which has also been wiped.

Wayback machine has only 12 csv files archived. Was anyone able to rescue more historical data?

FB reminds me of a 13 year old letter to the Daily Mail which rendered all subsequent letters to the Daily Mail redundant. This was the pinnacle.
