i see from another thread that telephony is yet another area which you

1) Apple does not care enough about Intel based Windows enough to stick to
Intel. They are moving to their own Silicon which does not virtualize
x86_64 in a way to support current virtual Intel systems.

as you've been told, that is not only wrong, but in more ways than one.

you continue to remain *very* confused about virtualization, emulation

not doing and why. this can clearly be seen by your mindless repetition

Gremlin knew VLC could play such streams but had not streamlined the

more of your crazy fabrication.

what you described is *not* the best method by any objective metric nor
is it in any way streamlined. in fact, it's the opposite of
streamlined.

you also have *no* way to know what anyone may or may not have known
prior to you describing your method.

the reality is that it is nothing more than a very clumsy hack which
can bypass ads in some cases and is nowhere near as effective as
actually blocking ads outright, of which there are several methods,
three specific ones having been mentioned in this thread, all of which
you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge, let alone comment on them.

No tantrum of yours will change these facts.

But you can continue to throw a tantrum as I remind you of these facts.

the only tantrums are yours, repeatedly attacking others after being
shown to be wrong, and by several different people at that.

meanwhile, i've been calm throughout your never-ending puerile,
baseless and desperate attacks, while trying to explain some basic
concepts to you in very simple terms, but apparently, they are well

In addition, mobile has become the platform of choice for visiting
certain categories of websites. Mobile traffic dwarfs desktop on
adult sites, gambling sites, food & drink, pets & animals, health,
community & society, sports and lifestyle. And over the years, other
categories shifted to become more mobile as well ‹ including news

This statistic presents the share of mobile phone website traffic
worldwide. In 2018, 52.2 percent of all website traffic worldwide
was generated through mobile phones, up from 50.3 percent in the
previous year. Mobile currently accounts for half of all global web
pages served. As of February 2017, mobile accounts for 65.1
percent of all web traffic in Asia and for 59.5 percent of all web
traffic in Africa. Due to the strong growth of the smartphone market
in recent years, this is no surprise, especially as mobile internet
often provides a more viable online connection in regions that lack
the infrastructure and money for traditional and more expensive
landline connections.

Can you blame them ? AFAIK there are now more phones with Internet
access than that there are desktop machines. Don't like it either
though.

But I doubt more usage.

it's actually more usage because the number of phones greatly outnumber
desktop/laptop computers, plus it's easy and convenient.

Do you not understand the word usage or something? If I own 50 phones and 1
desktop, I can still use the desktop more. It has a higher usage, and is
therefore more important for web designers to pay attention to.

far more people use mobile to access the internet than laptop/desktop
computers, which has been the case for several years. for many of them,
mobile is their only computer.

in many cases, mobile data speeds are faster than what is available at
their home. this will be even more true with 5g.

Somebody with internet access on a phone and a
desktop will use the desktop unless they're out.

not always.

Using a tiny screen instead of a big one is sheer idiocy.

using a large screen when a small one is sufficient is sheer idiocy.

this is particularly true when away from home, where carrying a large
screen would be extremely impractical along with the computer to go
with it.

carrying a laptop can make that a little easier, except that a laptop
is still much larger and heavier than a phone and it still won't fit in
a pocket.

many things are much easier to do on a phone.

Not web browsing. Making a phonecall perhaps.

yes web browsing, however, the internet is much more than just that,
including usenet, email, streaming audio/video, gaming and many other
things, all of which can be done from a variety of devices, including
phones, tablets, set top boxes, laptops and desktops.

smartphones are not often used for phone calls anymore. messaging apps
are among the most used apps, which uses the internet.

one example of web browsing on a phone is someone goes to a store,
looks at a product, and then does a search online for a better price,
possibly even ordering it while still in the store, entirely on their
phone.

there are apps that can streamline this process by scanning the
product's barcode and automatically doing the search, without needing
to tap in the model number or other specifics.

some are only possible on a phone.
others are better suited for a desktop or laptop.

one device does not replace the other. use whatever is best for a given
task.

We're discussing web browsing remember? Do keep up at the back.

the topic was 'internet access', which as previously noted, includes
web browsing and quite a bit more,.

here's the relevant quote again:

I used to kill time browsing at my local Barnes and Noble bookstore. If
I found a good book I'd buy the KIndle version on my phone and sit in
one of their easy chairs to start reading it. Unfortunately the store
went out of business (pre-virus). Wonder why? After all I almost always
bought a soda...

OK, this backs your view better. And I think it depends on the type of site...

No matter how you twist it, Apple has said that x86_64 systems are

Umm, as myself and nospam have both tried to explain; you don't

time to tell us all what you don't know about concerning
virtualization and emulation.


I get how you feel the need to make unsupported accusations to try to deal

what apple says isn't what you think it is, because what you claim is

it is indeed simple, yet you fail to understand it despite numerous

Notice how often you do as you do here -- spew insults and show NO knowledge

I do not trust you as much as I trust MS about Apple Silicon.

Ayep.It would have to for it to work as it does in the video he
shared. Mac isn't my daily goto machine, so my terminology may not be
exact, but the underlying concept is as I suspected and you have
confirmed, the same. It's automating what would be a manual task for
those of us using an OS that doesn't support the feature.

As I told Snit, I'm not personally aware of any Windows versions
which do this natively, nor am I aware of any Linux DE's which also
do it, natively. It's possible, but I have not confirmed this to be
the case that the latest ubuntu also supports it, but if it does,
it's because the DE is designed to resemble a mac.

And as I told snit, but didn't go into further details on, I can see
how this feature could get a user into a pickle, depending on the
situation. Especially if Windows supported it.

It seems that I know more about how Snits machine actually does
what it does than him. But to hear him tell it, I'm not even good
with basic troubleshooting. ROFL!

Do you remember how many 555 chips I destroyed before I got my
snubber section stable? Now, if my troubleshooting skills were as bad
as Snit would like for people to believe, I wouldn't have been able
to figure out what was blowing my 555 up. And as a result, wouldn't
have been able to fix the problem.

Alas, we both know that Snit has a problem understanding what he
reads in a text only format, and he has quite the track record of
lying about other posters when it suits him to do so.

Indeed, it's so bad, he had to resort to forging a video. and spent all
that time to do it, but selected the wrong city to use for the veiled
threat. Yet somehow, that's not important. David has been publishing
addresses he thinks belong to me for years now. One thing has been
consistent in ALL of them. The one thing you would think Snit would
have been smart enough to ensure matched for his video.

That being, the correct city. Snit has no-one to blame for this ****up
but himself. A simple reading of David posts would have given him the
correct city to use for his fake video.

He's also trying to spin what I wrote concerning it into somehow giving
him permission to publish the phone number I provided to him in
private. He's already begun trying to assist David in stalking me.
by trying to find the number in the yellow pages as per Davids request.
If that's not an attempt to help someone stalk another, I don't know
what would be.

continues, I will demonstrate (again) how wrong he is. His wife is

1) Apple does not care enough about Intel based Windows enough to

not virtualize x86_64 in a way to support current virtual Intel

as you've been told, that is not only wrong, but in more ways than
one.

He really doesn't understand the material in question here. And, by
doesn't understand, he only knows the words themselves; doesn't
actually know what they really mean or the differences with them.

He didn't even know his mac was basically copy/pasting to a clipboard
(well, a pasteboard in this case) but the concept is still the same, as
you told him. And he's a mac owner who uses atleast one every single
day. I don't own one, and I don't service that many of them, yet, even
I knew what it was doing that he was so impressed with.

They are, as you well know, above his paygrade. I'm not even sure he
understands what a hosts file is, or is actually intended to be used
for. If he did, I'm sure he would have suggested it, and if his
networking knowledge was actually any good, he could have even included
the specific domains which need to be added to disable viewing of any
ads while on youtube.

The only option he offered was to drag and drop the url to vlc. Which
is no different than opening vlc, hitting ctrl+n and pasting the
youtube (or several other video media sites, or your own server on an

There is nothing insulting about the truth, Snit. Fact is, you
confuse a cell phone for that of voip. You forged a video to
demonstrate your confusion for ****s sake. You've had the number
since May. How long did it take you for the handy video work you
produced?

You didn't even score the right city, Snit. And, the correct city is
common, public knowledge with the regulars here. The moment you
unblocked 'Johnson City' in your videos, you were busted.

And David is once again showing what a dishonest **** he is because
he didn't post anything about the glaringly obvious, city screw up on
your part. He knows I reside somewhere in Kingsport. Not just because
he's been trying to pindown a current address on me or my business
(and has since asked for your help, which you have begun to provide),
but because I disclosed that to him, back in 2007. Yes, Snit, you
****ed up quite nicely here; and it only took for you to reveal the
city you guessed on. You guessed wrong, bro.

You're committed now though, I've already seen your videos, as have
several others. I've downloaded copies to save in the event they
disappear or somehow are further altered. You chose the wrong city
for your ruse. You are busted, bro. The correct city, is Kingsport,
Snit.

1) Apple does not care enough about Intel based Windows enough
to stick to Intel. They are moving to their own Silicon which

as you've been told, that is not only wrong, but in more ways
than one.

I trust Apple about Apple Silicon more than I trust you.

You clearly do not, because you refuse to believe what they've

understanding it. Maybe if they zoom you, you would understand?

If you really believed that you would show the better method.

One such simple and **** easy method that's well known to most is the
usage of your hosts file. It only needs to be configured once.
It's better than the method you suggested, and it actually does block
the ads, as well as saves you a bit of bandwidth and drive space.

Why didn't you make the suggestion about the hosts file either in
your video, or at some point along the discussion we've been having
here?

If you know what I'm writing about, explain in your own words where
the hosts file actually is on your machine, how you make changes to
it (hehehe, this is a semi trick question; let's see if you try to
weasel around it, or answer it correctly) and what those specific
changes must be in order to block further youtube ads of any kind.

And, finally, explain why the hosts file using the aforementioned
configuration is able to do this for you. In your own words. If you
attempt a copy/paste job instead, several of us will see it, and you
will be called out on it.

At least Diesel admitted he had never tried drag-and-drop but says

There's no may about it. I've been using vlc since before it was an

several methods, three specific ones having been mentioned in
this thread, all of which you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge,
let alone comment on them.

Notice your complete and utter failure to show a better method.
You like to brag... but, face it, you rarely know what you are
talking about.

nospam isn't going to hold your hand for you, and his delay gives me
a chance to write this post, questioning your actual knowledge level;
for us all to see. So, respond carefully if you don't want to get
caught trying to snow people concerning your network knowledge level.

Er, anymore so than you already have with the voip discussion we've
been having. You just can't seem to help yourself. For you, lying
about others is just as important as taking a breath to a normal
person.

Especially when you get caught doing it.

Good luck with your research to try to find a better way!

Hosts file, for one. Easy to implement, very effective. And you
didn't even so much as suggest it at any point in time.

Do you even know what it is?

meanwhile, i've been calm throughout your never-ending puerile,
baseless and desperate attacks, while trying to explain some
basic concepts to you in very simple terms, but apparently, they
are well beyond your level of understanding.

You deny your tantrum even as you engage in it. Kinda funny.

Again, using the terminology of that of a child when interacting with
another adult. Snit, you're in your fifties - Aren't you a little old
for this?

Certain categories. Right. Not in general. You do realize you just

It *only appears* that way to you, because you cannot comprehend what
you read well. You try and project that issue onto others, but, it's
you who has the issue, not any of us.

LOL!

Your willingly forced ignorance isn't something to be laughing about,
Snit.

OK, this backs your view better. And I think it depends on the
type of site... as your other source says. But in raw page views I
can see your point. Fair enough.

In that case, it's time for you to issue an apology for the previous
nonsense you wrote, because, well, you were wrong and made false
accusations towards nospam.

So much for those unquotable lies, there, snit.

But the facts stay the same:

the only fact is that you have no idea what you're babbling about, on
this and many other topics, and your refusal to learn anything from
those who do.

i see from another thread that telephony is yet another area which you
do not understand, and rather severely at that.

More tech-free insults from you.

the truth is not an insult.

1) Apple does not care enough about Intel based Windows enough to stick to
Intel. They are moving to their own Silicon which does not virtualize
x86_64 in a way to support current virtual Intel systems.

as you've been told, that is not only wrong, but in more ways than one.

I trust Apple about Apple Silicon more than I trust you.

what you fail to understand is that apple and i are both saying the
same thing, therefore you cannot trust one more than the other.

you continue to remain *very* confused about virtualization, emulation
and translation and how they relate to each other, what apple is and is
not doing and why. this can clearly be seen by your mindless repetition
of the same mistakes, notably the above text.

If you REALLY believed that you would go into details. But you will not. You
are not posting about tech, you are throwing a tantrum (and I am responding to
it).

false.

i *did* go into details, which you repeatedly ignored.

2) My drag-and-drop to VLC method of bypassing ads is the best method so
far suggested to bypass ads on Safari. You showed no knowledge of it.
Gremlin knew VLC could play such streams but had not streamlined the
process as I did.

more of your crazy fabrication.

If you really believed that you would show the better method. Instead you lied
and said I called that method of bypassing ads a form of ad blocker... you do
not really get what I am talking about (or did not).

i pointed you to where you could read about the better methods (plural).

i'm not going to spoon feed you everything.

you failed to read the suggestions the first time, so i told you where
to look and reread about it again.

you chose not to do that.

what you described is *not* the best method by any objective metric nor
is it in any way streamlined. in fact, it's the opposite of
streamlined.

you also have *no* way to know what anyone may or may not have known
prior to you describing your method.

the reality is that it is nothing more than a very clumsy hack which
can bypass ads in some cases and is nowhere near as effective as
actually blocking ads outright, of which there are several methods,
three specific ones having been mentioned in this thread, all of which
you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge, let alone comment on them.

Notice your complete and utter failure to show a better method. You like to

note that you intentionally refuse to look where i told you they were
mentioned.

read through the previous posts. the answers are there. the choice is
yours.

you clearly do not want to find them, because then you'd have to admit
you're full of **** and just trolling.

Good luck with your research to try to find a better way!

get off your high horse. you ain't fooling anyone.


No tantrum of yours will change these facts.

But you can continue to throw a tantrum as I remind you of these facts.

the only tantrums are yours, repeatedly attacking others after being
shown to be wrong, and by several different people at that.

meanwhile, i've been calm throughout your never-ending puerile,
baseless and desperate attacks, while trying to explain some basic
concepts to you in very simple terms, but apparently, they are well

you have a very unusual definition of tantrum, one that the rest of the
world does not use.

He really doesn't understand the material in question here. And, by
doesn't understand, he only knows the words themselves; doesn't
actually know what they really mean or the differences with them.

yep.

He didn't even know his mac was basically copy/pasting to a clipboard
(well, a pasteboard in this case) but the concept is still the same, as
you told him. And he's a mac owner who uses atleast one every single
day. I don't own one, and I don't service that many of them, yet, even
I knew what it was doing that he was so impressed with.

Too funny.

it's more sad than funny.

Amongst other things, confused I mean. Telephone technologies, crypto,
3D printing, etc. Pick one and I can show you posts where Snit digs
himself a hole and doesn't understand the subject matter.

i've seen a wide variety of them, but i'm curious what he said about
telephones, especially if it involved pots.

Nope. Does not go to the clipboard.

Perhaps. But it is not the clipboard.

Can you understand that?

Right... separate object than the clipboard but it works much the same.

i understand that it's *way* over your head.

i'm the one who provided the explanations to you, so obviously, i
understand how it works.

you're just pretending to have known all along, and it's clear that you
did not and still do not.



No matter how you twist it, Apple has said that x86_64 systems are
not virtualized with their tech on Silicon.

Umm, as myself and nospam have both tried to explain; you don't
understand what's going on. and you've been so kind as to take the
time to tell us all what you don't know about concerning
virtualization and emulation.


I get how you feel the need to make unsupported accusations to try to deal
with your error... but the fact is Apple's Silicon is more likely to do
what
Apple says, not you.

what apple says isn't what you think it is, because what you claim is
an impossibility.

Ir really is that simple.

it is indeed simple, yet you fail to understand it despite numerous
repeated explanations from multiple people, along with your stubborn
refusal to learn something.

Notice how often you do as you do here -- spew insults and show NO knowledge
of tech.

notice that the only person spewing insults is you.

Again, I trust Apple about Apple Silicon more than I trust you. Hell,
I do not trust you as much as I trust MS about Apple Silicon.

what's amusing is that you have so little clue about the technology
being discussed as well as some basic concepts, that you don't realize
what apple has said about apple silicon is in full agreement with what
myself and others have said.

you also don't realize that what you claim apple has said is not what
they actually did say, and your version of it is simply impossible.

this has been explained to you before many times over, and each time
you ignore it.

there's no point in repeating it again, since you'll ignore it again
and continue with your ignorant and idiotic rants.

as I suspected and voiced my opinion of, it's an automated copy/paste

most/nearly all applications can take advantage of the feature.

Correct. Again, nobody has said otherwise. Not sure why you are focusing on
it. You and nospam do this a lot -- find some bit of information you know and
then convince yourself that others do not. It is weird.

holy **** is that projection.

that's a perfect description of what *you* do.




Can you understand that?

Why do you consistently need to try and talk down to people with far
more knowledge of technical things than you seem capable of ever
learning?

In context: "But it is not the clipboard. Can you understand that?"

The answer seems to be yes -- you understand that. Why not just say that?

why not just stfu and learn something for a change?

It works exactly the same, for obvious reasons. Or what should be.

There are clearly areas where they are different... but they are much the
same.

that's a meaningless sentence.

try not to dig yourself a deeper hole than you already have.
