You can also if you want turn the playback rate up of the video and have the same satisfaction in half the time :)

  I recently started increasing playback speed on many videos I watch. It's really hard at first, but I quickly got used to it, to the point where I now use an addon to increase playback speed to 3-6x where appropriate. When there's something complicated, or something I want to enjoy and savior, I jump back and slow down. This is an incredible time saver. I got inspired to do this by observing a blind programmer use a screen reader with insane speeds.

    I only recently discovered this, too. I was complaining about how I preferred reading than watching videos, partly because I can read a lot faster than someone can narrate, and because I can "skim-read" text. They suggested playing the video back at a higher speed, and it works fine. Still haven't quite solved the "skim-read" thing - guessing where the narrator stops the "welcome to my channel, smash subscribe and like, etc" bit is tricky.

        hahaha that's awesome, thanks!

    which addon are you using for speedup?
    - Hitton 6y ago
      Enhancer for YouTube can do that, but you can also do it with simple userscript. The userscript I found somewhere few years ago: // ==UserScript== // @name Mediabord // @version 01.1 // @description tryd to take over the world! // @author j // @match *://*/* // @grant metadata // ==/UserScript== document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { var vidz = document.querySelectorAll('video'); function is_text_box(element){ var tagName = element.tagName.toLowerCase(); return tagName === "textarea" || tagName === "input";} if(is_text_box(event.target)) return false; vidz.forEach(vidz => { switch (event.keyCode) { case 221: // (]) vidz.playbackRate+=0.25; break; case 219: // ([) vidz.playbackRate-=0.25; break; case 220: // (\) vidz.playbackRate = 1; break; case 83: vidz.currentTime+=3; break; case 65: vidz.currentTime-= 3; break; } }); });

        Wait, what? Youtube has builtin control for that for years, behind the cog wheel at the bottom right of the video.

        They're using the addon to be able to get 3x and 6x speedups, which are not available by default.

        This is great. The max being only two bothered me and I completely forgot that one could do that as well. I'm going to expand on the small script I wrote that sets the playback rate to twice the speed by default [1]. Thank you! :-) 1. https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/136744/233601 https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/136744/233601

    i don't know how you can go 3-6x. I listen to podcasts at 1.5x and if I go to 2x I don't absorb any information. I think to actually do 2x, I'd have to stop whatever I'm doing (driving, chores, gaming, etc) and focus specifically on the podcast. That feels like I'm wasting time again.
- yesenadam 6y ago
  Really, you can follow his explanations at 2x?! Less than 1x the satisfaction, I suspect.

Been addicted to this channel since the lockdown started. Many more than 25 minutes I'm happy to be rid of.

Once you see that each row appears to be a shifted copy of the same sequence, you'll spend at least part of that time yelling at the screen, hoping he hears you.

  In fact, all rows are just permutations of the numbers 1-9! Edit: ;)
  - quietbritishjim 6y ago
    That's always true of all Sudokus. It follows from the rule "no number can appear twice in the same row (or column)" and the fact that there are exactly as many columns as numbers to put in them. What the parent was saying, that all rows are a shift of the same sequence, is much more unusual. In case there's confusion over terminology: starting for example with 123456, then 345612 is a shift (and a permutation) while 345621 is a permutation but not a shift.
