How do I make a USB port in Windows 10 just provide power

data connection? For example my satnav has a low battery and

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

removable drive and I can't use it.


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.

If you turn off monetization for your videos, does that not disable
ads?

Yes, or at least I think so. At the very least you get fewer ads.

ARGH! I hate the word fewer. It has no different meaning than "less".

Do you hate the word less fewer than you do the word less?

Both those words are the same, redo from start.
