    What with the weird freebooting article? This ‘article’ is just a description of Alec’s video with the clickbait cranked up to ten. Gotta love a major corporation using small creators’ work for free ad revenue…

      This is how hackaday posts have been… for like a decade. I guess it’s somewhere between articles and link aggregator.

        Doesn’t mean this is good content I think belongs here. The original video that links to a transcript and a source article do belong here. You want a description cause you don’t want to watch it? go feed the link into chat got. Or ask in the comments. I’m gonna call out corpo freebooting bullshit when I see it and it doesn’t belong on lemmy.

        Sorry, I’m pissy rn.

          Sure, that’s a fair opinion. I just don’t share it. I wouldn’t have known about this video in the first place. Also I don’t care to use AI summaries.

          Coincidentally I was also a fan of the described functionality on batteries and I have used it gladly and without hurting myself. So that clearly makes me different from the vast majority of people here in the comments.

          I may have been just as happy with the original article the video is based on, who knows. But since that wasn’t shared here I preferred this one over the video.

          Damn! I never even thought about sending it YouTube links. I might try doing that with some of those “retrospective” videos that are hours long.

      And Alec’s video is mostly a freeboot off someone’s article.

      So this is a full on article and YouTube circle jerk.
