This started happening yesterday when I got home. My computer doesn't seem to be displaying youtube properly as shown in the screenshots below.

I'm guessing its just me because my internet seems to be f$%#ing up lately. I'm randomly getting disconnected on both my iPod touch and laptop. Or maybe its because all the ad-ons I'm using is interfering with something Youtube introduced in the past day or so.

It could be addons or overzealous security (sites failing to load like that I see often when I roll up to a site with noscript and requestpolicy active), however if your internet is being slow (or even your ISP is throttling trying to cache youtube a bit) then that is the more likely culprit.

If you suspect throttling then try a VPN, if you suspect addons I assume you have tried booting the browser in its "safe mode" or just using another browser you have not got all the addons for. If it is just generally lousy internet then afraid you live in Australia so good luck with that one.

I played around with safe mode and my add-ons a bit. Turns out Adblock Plus causing the problems. Still not sure why my internet has been randomly disconnecting at random for the past week. Probably something I should call my ISP about.

Thank you :)

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
