Whitelist a couple sites and annoying flash-related content is a thing of the past.
I disabled Java and Flash, my problem is auto-loading and auto-playing HTML5 videos.

All the solutions I have found seem to only stop the auto-playback but not the actual loading.
But there's nothing to subsidize is you're making a private copy of something you've already bought/paid a license for, unless you think I should have to pay for a DVD twice because I keep a ripped copy for a media server?
I tried to read your comment three times. My head hurts. It reminds me of this xkcd.
Anyone know how to completely block auto-playing videos on Safari? And by completely, I mean prevent them from loading the video file at all. Those stupid things, that I'm never going to watch (fuck you, advertisers), are eating into my monthly cap.
Mars's moons formed much like ours did, after a giant space rock smashed into the planet and sprayed debris into orbit.
Is that the technical term?
Not everyone lives in a gigantic American-style house.

I find that a 23", 1080p display is enough to watch Netflix. As a bonus, it means I can easily tolerate the lower quality setting which Netflix Canada had to add for us because most of our ISPs have ridiculously low monthly caps.
No, that's the iPod nano.
That's why I use a dumb, feature-less 23" widescreen computer monitor as my TV, connected to an external AppleTV box.
New AppleTV with new features that I'd like? I buy a new AppleTV.
Competitor offering something better/different? I can ditch Apple.
This is the best for the environment (recycling a tiny box instead of a whole display), best for our wallets (tiny boxes are less expensive) and best for us (if we're not tied to a particular brand, they have to keep competing so our next upgrade is still the same brand).
And that's why I'm glad they decided to drop the idea. It means that for the last year they've been focused on updating the tiny AppleTV box which a lot more people will be able to afford compared to the cost of a new TV.
I'd also like to see an update to the iPod shuffle. A tiny e-ink indicator (bars, dots, whatever) to know the battery life in 20% increments.
I hate people who do that...

And a dozen javascript libraries for stupid shit like mouse-overs that should be done in CSS anyway, or high resolution background images that are 2MB JPEG downloads that use over 6MB of RAM each once decompressed. Backgrounds aren't meant to be high-resolution, crisp and detailed. Learn to use background-size: cover, it works well even with lower resolution images because stretching will blur them a bit, making the compression artifacts even less noticable.
One of the best first steps in setting up a Windows machine is to install PuTTY on it.
The best first step is to install Steam, because Windows is only used for gaming.
How does it feel to be on the other side of a generalization, timothy?
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
