View File Details: Locate the file you want to check. Tap on it to view more details, including the source URL where the file was downloaded from.

Tapping on it opens it, it doesn't show details.

If you want to see the source of the download before actually downloading you would need a an alternative android chromium browser (quetta) which has dev tools, so possibly to scan through that no easy on a mobile device.

Haven't heard of it. Thank you for the suggestion.



Has anyone managed to download EDP445's age-restricted YouTube videos?

Has anyone managed to download EDP445's age-restricted YouTube videos?

By "download", I mean as portable MP4 or webm files, not the garbage built-in app feature.

I couldn't find a tool to get past the age restriction on his videos, which he apparently voluntarily sets on his videos (see "requested by uploader" in description).

Has anyone managed to download his age-restricted videos, in particular "I Have A Confession To Make…" and "My Experience Getting My CDL and Driving Trucks"?

I would like to back up these videos given that his channel probably won't last long.











Which tool finds audio samples within other media files?
Which tool finds audio samples within other media files?

I am not looking for a music name identification service like Shazam, AHA-Music, or Mousai, but I would like to identify a given audio sample within other media files, meaning within other audio files and audio tracks from video files.

Say I have a hundred video files and I would like to find out which of them contain the same music as "sample.mp3".

I am looking for a tool that scans the videos and returns something like "video17.mp4 at time 06:21 contains the same music as sample.mp3".

This would be useful for finding memes in videos, for example.

Even a tool that doesn't mention the exact timestamp would be useful.

Is there any tool that can do this?

Reportage zum Germanwings-Amokpilot Andreas Lubitz von „Thesen24“

Kurz nach dem Germanwings-Flug 9525 veröffentlichte der YouTube-Kanal „Thesen24“ den Kurzfilm „Andreas Lubitz Vorgeschichte und Tatmotiv zum Germanwings Absturz“, welches über 100.000 mal angesehen wurde.

Woran ich mich erinnern kann: Das Intro verwendete die Vorlage „Action Trailer 3“ von VideoHive.

Das Video war mindestens bis zum August 2016 verfügbar. Existenzbeweis ohne Video.

TIFU by accidentally buying two Google Pixels and ended up getting my 15 year old Google Account permanently banned.

So early Black Friday sales happened last month and I picked up a Google Pixel 7 since my previous phone was nearing 6 years old and starting to die every few hours.

Due to some funky error, whether I accidentally put two phones in the cart, I don't know or remember. I ended up getting double charged and realized I got shipped two phones.

I contacted Google Support to start a return for a refund on one of them, and the first support person was great... up until the next dozen support staff throughout this stupid journey.

Turns out that the package I shipped back to them never made it back. I spoke with support and I got the most generic responses ever from a person that doesn't speak English (once they stopped making generic replies, it was quite evident).

They escalated the problem to a supervisor. The supervisor told me that they would do an investigation, would take about a week.

Beginning of this week, investigation ended. They say the package was indeed most likely lost but the representative I spoke to said I could just chargeback with my credit card. So I did.

Today, my Google account was banned. 15 years of history gone.

I went on the support chat for the umpteenth time and they told me because I did a chargeback, the rules are that my account will be banned. I asked why they suggest for me to do a chargeback, when they could have just refunded themselves, and they said the support I spoke to should never have suggested it but rules are rules.

Been trying to fight this but looks like Google support is utter trash. After looking online, it seems like this is their most stupidest policy, and it exists across most other platforms too.

What a shitshow.

TLDR: Bought two phones by accident, returned one of them, package was lost and a representative told me to do a chargeback if I wanted my money back. Did that, Google account got banned. I asked very politely to get it unbanned because it was their advice to do that, they told me to go pound sand.

Warum kann man Jahrespakete bei Mobilfunkanbietern nicht mehr telefonisch bestellen?
Warum kann man Jahrespakete bei Mobilfunkanbietern nicht mehr telefonisch bestellen?

Nur noch monatliche Flatrates können telefonisch bestellt werden. Das bedeutet, man wählt Menüpunkte, die von einer Roboterstimme vorgelesen werden.

Jahrespakete können scheinber bei so gut wie allen Anbietern mittlerweile nur noch in der App des Mobilfunkanbieters (App-Zwang) und bei manchen Anbietern noch auf der Webseite des Mobilfunkanbieters aktiviert werden.

Hat jemand eine Ahnung warum?

Die klassische telefonische Aktivierung hat den Vorteil, dass sie als einzige Aktivierungsmethode keiner Internetverbindung bedarf. Um ein Jahrespaket zu aktivieren benötigt man das Festnetz-Internet, oder man verschwendet eine menge Guthaben, da mobiles Internet im Basistarif schnell teuer wird.


Does refreshing flash cell charge degrade flash storage?
Does refreshing flash cell charge degrade flash storage?

Flash storage stores data as electrical charges in floating-gate transistors.

From what I understand, it is the erasure, not the writing that causes the degradation, because a strong negative voltage has to be applied to the memory page.

When flash memory sits idle, its controller automatically scans and refreshes the electrical charge (source: ni.com).

How much does this process degrade the flash storage, if at all? If it were plugged in but idle for 10 years, how much of a difference would it have made?
