What security measures can YouTube employ which are compatible with FOSS? How can they prevent users copying the content if the content is DRM free and has an open license? They all have some degree of security, but no supermarket ever tied my hands behind my back on entry. > And I've never seen a video streaming site that just gave you links to download the videos. Potentially undermining their core business model just to increase ad viewership by a few percentage points doesn't seem like a sound strategy. Perhaps YouTube should just accept that ad blocking is part of the market landscape they operate it, and plan their monetization around reasonable estimates of the actual reach of their ads with blocking taken into account. I don't know what their finances and operations look like internally, but I suspect that the revenue they are bringing is enough for them to operate very much in the black, despite some proportion of their audience blocking ads, just as traditional broadcast TV networks have been profitable for decades without having nay mechanism to ensure that viewers are watching commercials. If YouTube doesn't want to make content accessible for free anymore, it would undermine the use case of the vast majority of people who use it to distribute their own content. They are primarily a hosting platform used by third-party content providers. I don't think that need to be connected to boot up.> YouTube provides their content for free.īut YouTube provides very little content of their own. PS: In case you were wondering, P5800 (the black connector) is just the +- L/R speaker connections. Let's hope it's not that one that's blown. They just show this one as all terminated to ground, so as to not give away their precious secrets. I haven't tried to remove the heat sink material from the top of it, to see if there is a generic manufacturers model number on it. The only one I haven't investigated yet was the main IC, the CPU which LG might be hiding. All the major components are acquirable from most of the electronic component suppliers. I'll have to get creative if I want to remove and replace surface mount components, especially if it's a larger IC. I'm hoping it's just a faulty board, that can be repaired. This will help me move to the next stages of either diagnosing if the board is faulty or the peripherals were a mismatch. Two of them fit perfectly and three I just shaved and sanded where necessary.

I got lucky with hanging onto all the wire harnesses from a LG LCD TV I tore apart for recycling (me smart boy). I've now managed to hack together all the wire harnesses required to connect the board to it's peripherals. At this point, I'll just keep pretending that there are more people then just myself interested in creating a hack that will get the UB board to work in the EG9600UA TV.Īs mentioned above, I am not sure WHY the board did not turn-on and go through it's sequential bootup/startup.
