Hack? In a sense- if taking the Webster Dictionary definition literally, then .. you'd be using it to gain...what once was unattainable(at a faster speed),now attainable(you are able to cram in more in a shorter time.).
If you are using YouTube as a platform to learn- informative videos, educational videos- don't we wish we had a remote to 2x that 1 professor that you just couldn't help to fall asleep to their lectures- eyes heavy... whop wahhh wa wahhh wop waaaaaa- Charlie Brown reference.
Double what knowledge you inject by doing this. In less than 5 seconds, you have doubled your intellectual though rough through... through put. That remote is in your hands...
Maybe, the video is just that slow. Unbearably slow...incredibly slow.. no longer so.
Watching that video, hover the cursor over it which will bring up the controls- one of them looks like a gear. This is the Settings- click on it. A menu fades up and within the options you will find "Playback Speed'. Click on it. You'll be presented with pre set values or a slider for custom speed values- unfortunately 2x being the highest... you can even slow the video down if needed. Maybe there's some really important content that you need to focus on? You can do so by slowing the video...so you don't miss that detail, for...the.... hundredth...time...... but, you want to speed things up here... so 2x that video! 2x that knowledge!
*I actually found 1.25x to be the sweet spot.
Mostly for me to remember, but Windows at times has a lapse in judgement with certain devices, DIY gadgets, peripherals that you maybe trying to connect to- for me, it was my HackRF( I have since stumbled upon a better way to start for the HackF if having driver woes- which I will cover in another post- but keep reading, since this is still good knowledge to know regarding driver issues )- no matter what, my PC could not recognize the HackRF/ or would recognize it, but as a keyboard. I required Windows to apply the correct drivers to the device so that it could be recognized for what it is... a...SDR. A HackRF. Guessing What's Right... Making Assumptions. Getting it Wrong. So, really what we see here is that when connecting that never connected before thing into your PC, Windows is making an assumption on what that thing is, and then applying the best driver that it thinks suites that thing... From experience, and a general rule of life... "assumptions" aren't the b...
