Try contacting Google's support team, it can seem daunting but they are the people most equipped to solve your problems.

And for the love of god can we stop posting useless replies like "Apple doesn't support Google". They need a solution, not a witty remark.

As a beginner to programming a couple years back, I tried my hand at Java as a first "real" language. I gave up after a few weeks as the learning curve was much too steep for someone that only had experience in making simple batch files.

From experience, I'd pick a much simpler language in order to learn the basic principles of programming. I'd personally pick Python as a first language as it's widely used and heavily documented with a relatively simple syntax. I personally learned Python by example but sites such as https://www.codecademy.com/ have proven extremely useful for understanding more difficult concepts. I'd have used codecademy to learn from start to finish if I were to start over, but you should find a method that works for you.

Moving from Python to any other language such as Java will become a lot easier once you understand the fundamental concepts of programming.

Good Luck

IIRC The blue light emitted by screens can trick your mind into thinking it is earlier in the day than it actually is.

I have found that this tool https://justgetflux.com/ solves this problem.

I used the tool and have noticed that I get to sleep a lot easier, there is a slight tint on the screen when it activates but I got used to it after a few hours and looking at a normal screen was almost blinding after using it for a few weeks.

I highly recommend it.

PS: There is also a version for Android under a different name, I can't remember the name of it atm tho.

I honestly had no idea this was a common thing until now...

It's so outlandish in my area that they had a segment on a TV show, showing a family that did it that were so paranoid about WiFi signals that they put Ethernet cables everywhere for all their kids etc.

It turned out that the WiFi on their router was on all along...

If it's a setting on the actual router / modem just do a hard reset and see how long it takes for them to notice.

And I think lag has something to do with your internet connection but I'm not sure.


Not in all cases, a lot of servers (normally really small ones) don't have enough RAM or processing power to handle the amount of plugins, worlds, redstone, players etc.


If I can run a well performing Bukkit server on a Pentium 4 with 1gb of RAM I'm sure resources isn't a problem for really small servers.

It sucks that there are so many other YouTubers out there that post much more offensive content, yet are barely recognised by YouTube. It also sucks that for the most part, all these bans are automated without much thought being put into it by a real person.

Yeah, the same goes with everything, specificly computers. Apple computers, almost no customization on them and the UI is poor. But you know what? The same is happening to Windows/HP, other computer companies. You can see why this is happening if you mention a disadvantage of an iPhone to an Apple fan. Tell them the can't do something, they say they don't want to do it. Then you hear them complaining, subconsciously, complaining that these Can't do something that happens to be directly related to what they earlier said they didn't want to do. Apple computers are for dumb people, but the new versions of anything related to computers are getting dumbed down. Even the Minecraft IDs have been changed from numbers to these long names that makes it A pain to enter one /give command. Some people don't want better or more customizable, they dumber.


If you really want customization use Linux.

Yes things are being dumbed down for very, very simple minded people but remember as they are providing a service that is accessible to all then it needs to be able to be used by all (someone who is slightly less capable than the average human being). People don't want to spend a whole day customizing their UI and profile settings before they start working, They just want to get on with it.

If you do not like the mainstream options then I recommend you do a small amount of searching.

Speaking of things getting dumber... I could not understand a single sentence of your rambling and I honestly felt myself cringing and dying on the inside with every word I read. I seem to recall something about Apple being for dumb people?

Not exactly.

There is an option to take a free trial of YouTube red which gives you access to content without ads.

What if everyone took this trial simultaneously? There would be no money made from ads in terms of the pay per view system.

YouTube has changed,

Cope.

A channel's lack of popularity should not be blamed on YouTube by saying it is somehow the fault of the site itself. YouTube requires a lot more effort than meets the eye. The reason you may feel 'overshadowed by the Big Guys' is probably not due to them just being popular, rather the fact that you are outputting very similar content to them, they are doing a better job at it and are more entertaining to the community / target audience. (No Offence)

If you do make genuinely awesome content that stands out from the rest you will without a doubt be noticed eventually and rewarded for your efforts.
