  • I have no advice, but I have a similar issue. Firefox on Windows 10 with just uBlock Origin.

    YouTube works fine at first, but if I watch a lot of videos in a row then after an hour or so it starts to load slowly. Then it stutters, then finally I get audio and a single frame for the whole video. Shorts seem to accelerate the descent. I haven’t tried live streams yet, but I bet I’d get the same result.

    Completely closing all Firefox instances and reopening fixes it for an hour. It acts like a memory leak, but I’m not even close to maxing out my RAM when it crashes. My fans get loud which makes me wonder if it’s botching the hardware acceleration.

    Sadly I can’t help beyond telling you you’re not crazy.



  • Very interesting. It would certainly make doom scrolling harder. Email always feels more personal, like each message was sent specifically to me for a reason. As opposed to feeds, which feels like looking at cars as they drive by.

    I think this system pushes against those boundaries. This sort of concrete brainstorming at the edges is such a crucial part of software evolution, so thank you.


  • I rounded them just enough that it’s not going to hurt your hands, but I’m tempted to go further in case he runs into it. Since these just lift off the wall without needing to unscrew anything it’d be pretty easy. The toughest part would be repainting and finishing. I’m also a bit worried about chip-out since I was too lazy to cap the edges of the plywood with hardwood.


  • I honestly don’t know. He can stand on it without issue, but he’s only 40 pounds. If I were to make this for an adult I’d need to do more math and some tests. My conservative estimate would be 50 pounds at the very edge. It got a little creaky at that point so I stopped testing it.

    A floating desk for a gaming rig is definitely possible. I hope you end up doing it and showing us the results.
