Thanks Griff. See my response to Rhavi.

If you have an account, it certainly does. There's a History menu option under "you" on the left on the web page. On my Roku the History option is under "library" which seems a bit odd to me.
If you don't have an account, do you delete cookies when you close your browser, regularly clean your browser history, or otherwise clean up locally stored web browsing data? Any of those might account why YouTube doesn't remember what you've seen.

When I view the YT home tab, the images presented will have a thin red line along the bottom. If I started watching a video and then did not complete it, the red line will be an indication of how far into the video I was. If I completed the video it will be across the whole bottom of the displayed image. Don't know if it does this if you do a search though. This is on the general home tab that displays what it thinks you want to watch.

If your goal is so you don't sit through the same videos again, remember that as far as YouTube is concerned, the only thing that matters is that they make you watch their ads.

It does. Click on the three horizontal lines (menu icon) on the top left corner to open the sidebar and select History from the sidebar menu to view the list of watched videos in reverse chrono order. You can also clear your history.

Thanks, I didn't know that.
But on the page where you actually watch a video, it shows the suggested videos on the right-hand side. And that is where I want to see whether I've watched a video or not.

I'm guessing the suggested videos would be limited to those you haven't already seen (i.e. those whose IDs aren't in the YouTube cookie or local storage).

Sung to "Video killed the radio star". Just to put that in your head for the rest of the day 
With the rise of AI, it seems to me that many search results are now AI generated answers on websites following recipes designed to garner ad hits. Many with the same exact wording and same tables of contents. With some questions, it's tough to locate a real website that has factual answers. It certainly varies with the question or topic, but it feels like it is on the increase. Had some where those make up the top handful of sites.
So, will these become a battle of AI, with search engines AI removing or deprioritizing those or maybe the sites will up their own AI game to get around the SE algorithms?
Strikes me as ironic, we'll see whose AI is better than whose. And if you don't have the song in your head, here it is for you The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star (Official Music Video) - YouTube[^]

This seems to be the trend on Microsoft. It started with generic canned responses (maybe a backdoor prototype AI) that I always felt were off and general useless. Now when I am looking for technical info, it smells like Microsoft's AI. I suppose it's the next evolution of search engines.

It is, but the results are often AI generated junk, maxing out the SEO rules.
For example, If I ask how do I trim a tree (I didn't check it, just an example), there can be several of the top results that are AI copies, for lack of a better word.
Maybe that points to an issue with AI; it creates its own validity based on a consensus of responses. One could easily become a bogus authority by spending very little money buying junk domain names and reposting the same content several times. I'd almost bet if I created a bunch of sites, or more so pages in my existing domains maybe, stating that asteroid QX95-217 may hit the earth in six months, the search engines AI could create credibility. Especially so if the AI "farmers" post more sites with the same information.
Sure, it was doable before AI, but it wasn't so easy and there really wasn't a way to create validity based on consensus.

Tried to google but found both opinions !! The site turing.com does not has phone number but even phone number can be faked. I tried to see the address on google maps but the location does not has any sign for the building !!
I am looking to work remotely but I dont know if this company legit or not ?

They ask for ID so they want to get full name, address and phone. Is it possible to scam me from these information ?
|
|

The ID bit, yes.
These 'interview' scammers will totally have you hold your ID up so they can steal the ssn (or other special numbers for other countries) and use those for fraud. The common knowledge pieces of information don't really matter (name/address/phone). It's being able to pair the name and birthday with the bit of more secret information (ssn or w/e) that enables identity fraud.
If they don't ask you to do skills assessment and personality tests... Basically, if the interview seems like a pleasant conversation and not an arduous interrogation, it's probably a scam. Heh. /s
Edit: Just to be clear - I'm not talking specifically about turing.com - I have no idea.

For other countries what they can do with these information: name, address, ID number, birthday ?

Open a bank account in your name?
Start taking out loans that you end up paying?

I was reading the newspaper yesterday (yes the paper version) and saw a story about undergrads designing and building a small satellite that NASA will launch into orbit. I was thinking how awesome it would've been to be a part of something like that in my college days. Kudo's to the people involved.

Would have been great to be a part of something like that.
I believe NASA has lauched quite a few school projects... even one by high school students from India. Good on them to work with students everywhere

I think it only costs about $3k/pound to put something on a Falcon 9.
I couldn't afford a very heavy satellite, but it's pretty interesting to google that and realize I almost definitely could get some little something up there. Barring all the stuff like they probably don't just let anyone chuck a bit onto a rocket to fling into space and there's almost definitely more bureaucracy to it than just paying.
Edit: The CodeProject Payload Project? That would rock. If y'all do it, I'd definitely want to try to be some part of it.

Bad news is it's a year and a half off, and the announcement was probably only made to shore up the Take Two Interactive after a loss of $2.9bn in the last financial quarter[^] ... so I'd say it's probably inaccurate - it'll slip back given how the long time frame implies there is a lot of work still to do.
Damn it! I was looking forward to that early next year.

I love DA, I think there are too many collection quests in DAI though (same fault as Mass Effect Andromeda).

I saw the headlines but didn't bother reading any of the details.
I'm assuming this is as per previous releases, where the console releases get preferential treatment, and the PC port only comes out a year or so later. Then add a few more months for the show-stopping bugs to get patched...
