Why does YouTube put the red playback bar so close to the play/pause button? I end up restarting videos all the time. May 31, 2021

        The same thing happens to me all the time with the full screen button! Does anyone test these UI’s out before they inflict this crap on us?

        Wish Youtube-vanced worked on Apple products. Was watching a Beatles video that was 2 hours and 30 minutes long. Had maybe 20 minutes left. I had to go to the bathroom. Tried to pause. It went back to the beginning. So frustrating. And unnecessary. Done bitching.

        Thanks or the reminder. Only this morning I was trying to fsat-forward on youtube-vanced, and couldn't make it happen. Must check the settings.

        My phone is rooted, but my tablet isn't. Great that 'vanced now works on non-rooted devices!

      Does anyone else find the Amazon Fire Stick remote the most idiotic design ever? The home button right above the pause/play button?

        Now if all smart-phones as a standard would get the menu/main-menu/home button back I would be ten times happier. Nokia used to do this perfectly: green button, home/menu button, red button. So simple, so effective.

        I just checked the dynamic range database. It’s been compressed. Quite a bit. The person posting the measurements commented that the album sounded tinny.

        The one to get is the 2010 hi-res remaster (not remix). It’s out of print now but it is lovely and dynamic and the best I’ve ever heard the album sound.

        I owned the original vinyl when it was first released. The 2014 remaster just doesn’t sound right. Like a lot of remasters. I wish they would just stop trying to screw around with things that don’t need to be fixed. They got the damn thing right the first time. I’d love to hear the 2012 remaster. Hopefully I can get it someday. It’s a wonderful album that really shows George Harrison‘s talent.
