Watching Peppa Pig on youtube is pirating anyway so it should not be that hard to remove. And it's very easy to blame the parents, since it is their responsibility. I don't let my kids watch youtube at all.

I've been using this for a few internal "worklists" for customer service. It works great and I didn't have to learn JS. It's not quite like Qt but it tries to follow the same style. The quality is not quite up to pa

Age restriction is sort of a self imposed thing. But on youtube you only have "18+" or "all". Youtube expects you to rate your videos yourself, or you can get reported and they will do it for you. Basically content that

The general consensus has been that SSDs does not have seek times in the same way as spinning disks and does not need to reorder the writes/reads to optimise for this, hence "none" has been recommended. The surprise is that t
