People are tired of hearing billionaire lies. By default the behavior that allowed them to gain such wealth is lack of empathy and greed, which directly conflict with the PR driven news articles commonly linked to them.

    For new people, for ongoing domain registrations people should also consider the renewal costs. There are some registrars with somewhat predatory pricing schemes that end up being very expensive long term (e.g. the trendy .io TLD).

    Dot com and dot net are some of the most stable ones, even though they might not appear as such at first glance. Almost anything less costly on initial costs will cost you in some other way (might not offer whois privacy (.us iirc) or be limited to residents or people with legit business on that country (.ca) or have a mixed reputation with being labeled spam (.xyz - although I believe this last one has been kind of proactive in clearing that up).

    Sorry to highjack the comment, but I wish someone had warned me to look, not all TLDs are administered the same.

    He has other videos where he has explained that you can't trust any brand any longer and you should not buy based on previous brand experiences alone but investigate individual models (and even revisions to them since it was a known trick to change them after the initial release to make them cheaper). Not sure if he mentioned it on this video since at the moment I'm not in the market for an appliance, but his takes seemed reasonable.

    Not as much of a stop as you would think. Historically speaking Ford motor company already tried basically enslaving indigenous people on the Amazon for rubber production. Most of the cotton in the US (and many other industries) was done by black slaves. Current fishing in south east Asia (and other places I'm sure) can have slaving with extra steps on a boat. Apple/Nike and other big brand factories in chine have had nets installed to prevent suicides, etc. There is no stopping the horrible disease that is wealth hoarding and human exploration it seems.

    If you are talking about the static sounds when connected, its some sort of hardware issue that's been there since the 8 and maybe still on the 10

    Edit: or some crappy software stack. Priority yo go all in on AI investments I guess.
