To a certain degree, yes. If someone at Google decides to wage all-out war against ad blockers they have a good chance. But if that costs more money than it generates, odds are that someone will stop it. Google / Alphabet is publicly traded after all and that means profit above all else.

Embedding ads into the stream would be hard to counter, but it's far away. That would invalidate caches along the way and need extra performance to reencode the stream with the ads inserted.

That's extra costs that are hopefully orders of magnitude above the lost ad revenue from ad blockers

Spannendes Detail:

Es ist möglich, formal fehlerhafte Rezepte an die TI zu übermitteln. Funktionierende Validierung gibt's nicht.

Warum nicht gleich ein PDF des gescannten Rezepts ablegen, das wär wenigstens einfacher...

Ironically Sync does, too, and zooms to full width on tap, hiding the Rick roll.

A big part of the cost is probably refitting the heating system. Radiators are designed for water temps that are not efficient for a heat pump.

The default for newly built heat pump systems is underfloor heating but that's not something you'd install unless you're ripping out all floors anyway.

The alternative would be large panel radiators or an air/air heat pump with air ducts.

In welcher Luxus-Ecke von Deutschland lebst du denn, dass es bei dir Videosprechstunden gibt?

Und die Gründe für Videosprechstunde nicht möglich reichen vermutlich von zu wenig Bandbreite über keine Kamera bis zu "machen wir nicht".

Und was ist das Problem, mit Video ist ja auch ne AU möglich.

Yeah there are multiple duplicates.

Well I doubt this can match the supersports acceleration ;) but I get what you mean.

It's actually interesting from a design standpoint. How do you handle a lead vehicle that has much better acceleration. Do you artificially slow down the lead vehicle so it can't abandon the "towed" trailer? What does the follower do when it loses the leader. This basically needs nearly fully autonomous driving.

Eh, even If it does, it shouldn't be a problem. Relying on a wireless link that could fail due to interference or jamming for actual control would be Musk-level insane.

The hitchbot would need to be capable of visually following the lead vehicle, possibly using something like a big QR code for identification and tracking.

The wireless link could be for telemetry like range and non-critical controls like "stay here" and "start following".

If the link fails, you get a big warning to stop ASAP but the bot keeps following.

Hmpff, ich fand ihn ja schon immer latent unsympathisch. Dass er jetzt mit den "Christ"-"Demokraten" Politik machen will bestätigt das irgendwie.

The good thing is that you don't need to know which ports to block. You just set your firewall up to deny by default and then start whitelisting the things you want to allow.

Even easier if you put your "smart" devices in a separate network, then it's just:

  • Allow traffic from home net to Internet
  • allow traffic from home net to iot-net
  • drop the rest

Now you can surf the internet, control your devices and they can't phone home
