Depends how long is long form for you, if you mean like multi hour videos I have less to give. But for like 25 to 40 minutes videos:

Practical engineering - educational videos about civil engineering.

Dr. Becky - space/astronomy news from an astrophysicist.

Plainly difficult - civil disaster documentaries

Joseph Anderson - gaming essays (multi hour)

Raycevick - gaming essays (around 30min)

The sphere hunter - game essays, mainly classic horror

Jay Foreman - British comedy.

LGR - retro tech deep dives, and tech oddware.

Joe Scott - Did you know, style investigations.

Plus some already mentioned. There is probably more, but keeping this shorter.

Na, you just found other good stuff, YouTube is actually really massive. Add some of yours here as well!

I still use the full screen tab groups feature that they removed from the core. I don't like scrolling tabs, so I can just hit a button and click on the exact tab I want. I do probably have too many tabs open tbh.

I never had a blackberry, but gained a hatred of them. Not for anything the phone was, but at how bad at software they were. The blackberry software to allow them to read emails from the company mail server was an over bloated, buggy and slow POS. It would forever break and the solution was always to remove and re-add it which would take a day and disrupt email for everyone.

But some CEO "needed" to use a blackberry as it looked corporate.

If my isp would support ipv6, that would be great!

Why do we have all these IT people? Nothing works!

It's probably more of a scale thing, going a conversation server side need CPU time, if it can be done prior to upload then server time is reduced. I think a lot of websites do client side processing so they can do more requests per server instance.

How is this new? Reddit gold gave you access to the subreddit that only gold members could access. It didn't have anything good in it as everyone would rather have a larger reach.

If he intends to convert an existing sub to it, he will quickly find how much people are happy to more to a new sub.

Is it me or does the boxes holding the phaser look like a printer?

S mode!

If you buy one in s mode, then you can't run 3rd party programs or particular built-in ones. That includes command prompt, which is why shift-f10 didn't work. It's ok as you can get out of it by, going to the ms store after logging in as an admin!

We now see the problem with s mode in the out of box experience.

This was much later. At the time unicode was not supported throughout the internet, so we were limited to ansi/ASCII.

Am I being cynical if I wonder if Ticketmaster just cancelled a number of tickets randomly, just so they can resell those at its new "market price." Normally I would just assume incompetence or a mistake, but this is Ticketmaster.
