What has happened to EEVBLOG videos?

[Flyback]

Hi,
The EEVBLOG website appears to be down?
It is my go-to place for electronics videos

A web page says there was a fire...surely this cant be right?

 

[narkeleptk]

The place where the servers are stored had a fire so its offline right now.

It also mentions that there is a backup for all the information in another server somewhere else.

Thus, once that the damage is repaired, the information will be restored in full. At least, that is the plan. We have to wait and see.

Edit: the videos themselves are still available on YouTube.

I now avoid youtube like the plague. So many adverts, I find it unusable.

I keep saying. Use uBlock Origin.
Coming soon to my configuration will be to install pihole

So many adverts,

what's worse is they put tons more ads in demonetized videos, so they're effectively stealing money from those content creators they don't like...

And if you play a music video that goes for any length of time ( like 1-2 hour compilations), they keep pausing the stream, asking if you want to continue.

Just installed. Thanks.

Just tried a few you tube videos and didn't get any adverts, so, it meets my expectations. Thanks again.

Should I dismiss AdBlock first?

 

[Pommie]

I installed brave browser a couple of months ago and just tried you tube in that and, no adds. Think brave is gonna be my standard browser from now on. It's even got a "use tor" option.

I have to admit, brave is a welcomed change.

Should I dismiss AdBlock first?

IMHO, I would. The only other tool I run with uBlock is Privacy Badger (handles google analytics)

You check and see in a side by side browser comparison how they fare.

I have to admit, brave is a welcomed change.

Brave seems to have taken back the opensource chromium which (apparently) google stole.

Which software blocks electronic projects on You Tube with many errors because they were made by little kids in South Asia who know nothing about electronics?
