Some do. YouTube switched their ad service so the main video and ads come from the same server. To get around this uBlock now blocks the script on the browser side that shows the ad, then returns a signal that the timer is up.

It’s a constant game of cat and mouse to get around ad blockers then block that new method.

Native English speaker. I started to write up an answer but the more I dig into it the more confused I am.

The subject and predicate need to agree for a sentence to sound normal. “It hadn’t” uses “had not” as the predicate which implies past action and needs a verb to sound normal.

You could say:

It had not installed the tooling.

Or It had not verified that the tooling installed correctly.

In it “It didn’t have” the predicate is “have” so a noun can follow and sound normal.

You could say:

It didn’t have the tooling.

Here is where I’m becoming confused.

Usually you can remove negatives and extra words to clarify grammar. In the sentence “It had the tooling” the predicate is still “had” but it doesn’t imply action so a following noun is fine. Also the sentence “It did have the tooling” is grammatically correct but sounds wordy and would probably be found in a legal document or technical write up. Why does the grammar change when you add a negative? “It hadn’t the tooling” sounds ridiculous but logically it should be fine if “It had the tooling” is fine! This is driving me crazy.

Somebody who paid more attention in English class will have to correct me. I guess we’re just going with " English is weird and it sounds better that way".

Cinnamon is my favorite so I have mint at home. All the computers at my work have Ubuntu (gnome) and it’s ok but I don’t love it.

Don’t pick a distro, pick a desktop environment. Look up KDE Plasma, gnome, cinnamon, xfce, etc. Then pick the largest most stable distro that uses that environment.

Qbittorrent doesn’t know where the movie came from. You need to go into Radarr or wherever you got the torrent file to find its source and report it

I am the legal target audience. I have a PC that I use at home for most games and a switch that I use for flights and business trips. I buy most games on physical karts because I prefer them to digital and buying used games on eBay is half as expensive as the eShop. Having 3-4 games on a single chip would be much more convenient than carrying several games with me.

Also I bought it in ~2018. In 2018 there were no other good portable game systems at a reasonable price point. There are a lot of good Nintendo exclusive games series out there. Yes there are modern portable systems that can emulate the switch but I’m not going to buy a new system to emulate something I already own.

It seems like this will be able to play modified games too. I would love to try out some custom games on my switch.

The piracy option is also nice but I could almost justify the kart without that.

Mint is Ubuntu based but they also maintain a parallel Debian based Mint (LDME). If Ubuntu died they would just switch focus to LDME.
