Despite its name, YouTube’s “Stats for Nerds” feature isn’t just for nerds.

The option is turned off by default in all YouTube videos.

When enabled, a small window appears over your video with information like current video quality, buffering information, not to mention a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo.

That mumbo jumbo, however, can prove to be quite useful.

Come on in and see what all the "mumbo jumbo" is all about and how to activate your 'Stats for Nerds' YouTube feature.

For more than a year, Google has said it would phase out the third-party tracking cookies that power much of its advertising business online, proposing new ideas that would allegedly preserve user privacy while still providing businesses with steady revenue streams.

This week, Google tossed much of that work aside.

In an update about Google’s Privacy Sandbox, the tech giant said that due to feedback from authorities and other stakeholders in advertising, it is looking at a new path forward in finding the balance between privacy and an ad-supported internet.

Let's have a look at the details inside.

How fast your internet needs to be, should be determined by what you are using the Internet for.

There is a table in this guide that shows various activities and the optimum speeds required to perform those activities.

So if you are working from home or if there are several working from your home, the table recommends ~20Mbs as a minimum.

Even then, the type of work you are doing will have an impact.

Is your work mostly in video creation and editing or mild paperwork?

Mild paperwork will not need as much Internet speed as videos being uploaded and downloaded to edit and create. (ask me how I know)

Or you just like to watch a lot of 4k streaming videos, there is a suggested requirement of Internet speed for that as well.

Plus you will learn things like gigabits and megabits per second and what the differences are.

So let's have a look at the different tasks and what Internet Speeds we will need for them.

OpenAI has announced SearchGPT, its AI search tool that looks and feels a lot like ChatGPT but gives you more sources and answers through links.

OpenAI wrote, "We’re testing SearchGPT, a temporary prototype of new AI search features that give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources."

NOTE: My take on SearchGPT is that time will tell.

Long before SearchGPT was Perplexity & Gemini which already does this, but time will tell.

One of the worst limitations of using Midjourney and other AI image generators is the lack of repeatability.

However, it's now possible to create a character and then repeatedly use that character in subsequent images.

While it's not perfect yet, it's a powerful creative feature in the right hands.

So let's check out what a 'consistent character' is and how to create them in Midjourney.
