@TeamYouTube This is a general issue, see this thread as well.

I assume it is a bug on YouTube, but some people claim it works on Firefox.

I can confirm the same issues persists in Safari.

Hey @GoogleChrome / @YouTube playback speed shortcuts are broken with non-US layouts in Chrome on Mac.

Other platforms work correctly:

Shift+, decrease speed
Shift+. increase speed
On macOS < is ignored and Shift+< sends >, so only increasing works.

Any Hope for a fix?

@googlechrome @YouTube Almost 5 year old StackExchange post with the same issue....

@r_marked All browsers have pros/cons, they all score mid.

I started using Brave, because it enabled adblocking on Android, and then it was convenient to use it on my other devices as well for syncing.

The sync isn't great though, and now I mostly use it as a less bad Chrome. 🤷

@t3dotchat Suddenly https://t.co/kuEcUFCums is protected by Vercel Authentication? I probably don't need to be on beta, but I guess I've been using that for a long time, since I simply installed t3chat as a PWA. :)

@JamesWard I assume you already know of @PulumiCorp, personally that is my favorite, go for TypeScript though, it works best from my experience.

There is also https://t.co/RyfZmzCFrj, which is built on Pulumi, but I haven't fiddled with it myself.

@VicVijayakumar This must be much more prevalent in the Java world, because of JDBC.
The amount of times I've had to fight people, to just leverage actual features in the database, instead of remaining generic, because of "what if we want to switch database"....

@theo @WallisDev Spoilers Theo!

Now that you mention it, I totally do remember you talking about this in previous videos/streams.

Looking forward to the video! 🙏

@theo @WallisDev Something like this?

- Turso
- Neon
- Planetscale
- Convex

[Alexander Samsig @ASamsig]

@code_typist @TheLastTamurai @theo @convex From what I gather he is switching from Planetscale to Convex.

@ChShersh I wouldn't go that far, but what about a simple DSL?
Wouldn't that be much better?
Perhaps just a mark up language or something.

@ThePrimeagen Excel is a SQLite database.
Google Sheets is a serverless database.

@peturgeorgievv Repeat the famous words, "It depends". 👏

@RhysSullivan I feel this in my bones...

I was lucky, that I was using Lastpass and Authy, migrating from Lastpass was easy, and there was a hack-ish way to export 2FA from the deprecated Authy desktop app.

Very happy to be using 1Password today.

After years of writing down personal notes, I've finally started to collect and refine them into blog posts. The idea to create a personal knowledge base, and a way to share insights I’ve picked up along the way.

The second entry is ready!

I decided to spent a lot of my Christmas vacation, creating a new personal site, so that I could start blogging...

I mean, it isn't even the first time I've done this, but it is the first time I've actually finished and published an entry!😱
