Barry,
BM> Yes - the initial thought is to take the helpful link presented: after all,
BM> the computer is so smart, right?!
Not when it comes to speech/voice recognition software. I've not yet
been able to use that, and do a complete email message, without having
to go back and correct things.
BM> I'm not so sure AdBlock Plus is all that good: when I first started
BM> using it a few years back it did a good job and then as time continued
BM> it seemed ot be allowing through more ads. Read where it now has a
BM> list of 'approved' (read: 'paid') ad it will let through. A few months ago
BM> I switch to uBlock and things have quited down again.
I took it off, and deleted all the YouTube videos...I just didn't have
time to watch them.
BM> I've found one can sometimes use Private/Incognito Mode: sometimes
BM> skips as not recognizing the device (no prior cookie) or have to wait a few
BM> seconds and then can click 'skip ad'.
BM> As for the costs, agree they have them and so need to be financed some how.
BM> Less might be more: five second ad at the beginning isn't intolerable.
BM> (The 'coming attractions' pop-ups at the very end of
BM> video are sometimes more annoying as the block what I'm trying to
BM> watch.)
And, in a lot of the YouTube Videos, they insert a ton of ads in the
videos. I can't see paying $15 a month ($180 a year) just to override the
ads.
BM> Good. I've found the telephone spammers will use different numbers --
BM> half-wonder if two different spam groups or the same one,
There are several spam prevention services for landlines and cellphones,
as well as for computers. I used to use the MailWasher Pro from Firetrust
software, but I'm on Gmail now.
