How do I make a USB port in Windows 10 just provide power and not a

want to use it indoors. But when it sees the PC, it just becomes a

Sorry, missed the OP

Er.... that's a video about electric bikes.


Nope. It's about adding an external LED light to a smart phone using the USB
port for power.

Dunno what you were watching.


That’s what I saw, too.

YouTube is getting sorta insane with ads these days — maybe he saw an ad
and got confused?

I actually WATCHED the add for a new conversion kit to make one's bike
electrified!

I ALSO watched the bright light add-on for Android 'phones!


I had a different ad, but it made sense that what I described *might* be
happening and had led to the confusion. Thanks for verifying. Seems almost
certain now.

YouTube has changed how they work with ads over the last few days. For
example, the in-view ads now show for not just 10 minute videos but also for
8-minute, but also seems they have pushed more ads at the start. Now it is
more likely i will just download videos I want to watch. Of course that means
the content creator does not get their ad revenue, but as the ads become more
and more obtrusive that is what YouTube is promoting. I certainly have no
issue with anyone bypassing ads for MY videos.
