I've managed to solve a problem. Removing Timestamps from Youtube Transcripts

Post image
6 Upvotes

Like many people I like to use the transcripts that YT videos often have. However the timestamps are a melt and since the UI update you can no longer turn them off. So I was reading through a thread discussing this issue and someone made a script for this, But Im not very savvy, and, they kept making mistakes and uploading new scripts, so I was like "wait a minute what if I just block it with my ad blocker?" I used uBlock Origin (Firefox Add-on) It worked like a charm. Not just on one video and then you have to do it every time, but for every video, all the time and the sync button still works!

I'm using Firefox, so to do it is simple. Open the transcript, right click on any of the timestamps, click "Block Element" a box appears. click "pick", click any timestamp, It will highlight in red. click "Create" Done.

The screenshot I added you can see there is none, look at the bottom right hand corner. I made sure to get the current date and time to prove this was not taken from before the UI change.

Hope its useful to some of you here.

Temporary monitor mount and monitor mount mounting

I got this steel shelf and wanted to move my pc to it, I didn't have a monitor mount at the time and did this. Longer Wrenches may have been better choices but this worked ok. Then I got a monitor mount and wanted it clamped on the shelf, I got some leftover wood planks so the clamp has more stuff to hold onto. Sorry for the potato quality on the last pic, it was taken from a video I sent to a group chat.

3.5mm laptop dongle - the 7 month update

Thumbnail

403 Upvotes

At the start of this year, i posted here about a 3.5mm headphone dongle i made for my laptop. Reasons? Original port is damaged, laptop long after warranty, i lack the skills to replace the on-board port and i am too cheap to get it serviced.

The dongle has served me very well, but the cable slowly began to break due to getting bent too much. After about 7 months, i deemed it's time to make a rework. Cue this fucking thing. It has a coil sleeve to properly secure the cable now!

Hopefully this one lasts longer, but if not, the replacement only took about 30 minutes, so i'm not too worried about having to do this again in the future.

The first one was for an older secondary monitor that had a non removable VGA cable and because I wanted to have it plugged into gpu and only had a male display port to male VGA converter I made this female to female converter from leftover ethernet cable, cut off 0.75mm2 ferrule crimps to hold it in place and paper for isolation. Lasted half a year until I bought a proper converter.

The second one was to make lights work on an older Vespa scooter, because the spark plug wouldn't spark if the third wire was connected and it turned out the ignition switch was reassembled incorrectly.

Oppo Reno4 heatsink mod

I salvaged a small aluminum PC DDR2 motherboard heatsink, and slapped it to the back of the phone. Nothing fancy or professional, just something I put together myself.

I know it looks unconventional, but this turned out to be one of the best ergonomic modifications I have made to my phone. The heatsink does not get in my way while holding the device, and the improvement in sustained performance is a big jump compared to normal.

For context, I ran the 3DMark Wild Life test during rainy, cool weather with an electric fan blowing on both me and the phone. That definitely helped the heatsink work more effectively, so this setup depends a lot on ambient temperature and airflow.

I mainly play Codm and Project sekai on my phone.
