       Speaking of which, paying for silence seems like something from a dystopian future, but people were doing that as far back as the 1940s: https://youtu.be/OpCz2bg3cUE

       NJ's governor has instituted a ban on students using their own Internet-connected devices (smartphones, smart watches, tablets, etc.) during the school day, including lunch time. In addition to "dumb" flip phones, Walkmans, and Discmans, I bet early non-Touch iPods will become a hot item again.

       @themaritimegirl They are lovely cameras despite the limited resolution.

       @ChrisPirillo Does it count if I use an OG flippable phone that isn't a smartphone?

       I've never gotten this error before. I used exactly the same codec, bit rate, and resolution settings as I used for the Gateway camcorder video. Clicking on "Learn more" basically just says to make sure your Internet connection is good and try again.

       I tried uploading the same file again on the same computer using the same web browser, and this time it went through fine.

       Dear God... no way I'm watching this one! Although I'm curious about the "Clarintosh" software.

       Did you know? C.W. McCall's follow-up to his trucking/CB radio-themed hit "Convoy" was a pro-environmentalism song which warned about the perils of unrestricted industrialization, including the destruction of nature, pollution, and climate change. It was a Top 20 Country hit in 1976: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8CveoHDAhc

       @erininthemorning.com But "let's not vote for Kamala to punish her for not supporting Gaza enough" sure worked out great for us...

       I only recently discovered Dan and Phil, even though they've been YouTube, radio, TV, and now podcasting stars in the UK since 2009. Along the way they've evolved from "friends" to "roommates" to coming out to "actually we've been a couple this whole time" (not a surprise to their "Phans"). They're incredibly charming and funny and their somewhat lurid set was inspired by a transparent blue Nintendo 64 controller: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c7CORLM4GE

       @themaritimegirl You can even produce upscaled, de-interlaced 60fps output on a G4 using JES Deinterlacer. The quality isn't as good as QTGMC, but it's not bad (video from 2019, when it was still possible to use YouTube on a G4): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDgk75aQ2BE

       @benpye It's going to be a moody Manitoba morning for a lot of people who don't like the sun rising so late in winter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPygR80OOmM

       @madness832 I'm thinking of making a video about FM auto-scan radios. This came up while researching them.

       NJ childhood memory: There used to be so many Canadians visiting the Jersey Shore every summer that it was common to get Canadian coins mixed in with your change, and if you used them, businesses wouldn't mind. It was a fun game to see which vending machines would accept a Canadian quarter.
