YouTube has done a fantastic job in recommending videos. For some reason it has become harder to watch only just one video because as soon you load up that video, you will see more videos on the side that might catch your attention, and after this it is pretty much a long and dark tunnel that you might never emerge from.
YouTube is well aware of its users binge-watching and as part of Google’s new Digital Wellbeing initiative, YouTube has come up with several ways to try and encourage users to take a break. For example one of those changes is more customization when it comes to silencing notifications, where users have more control over when notifications from YouTube are silenced instead of just the regular 10pm-8pm settings.
Another option comes in the form of a scheduled digest, where instead of receiving notifications one by one, users can opt to have all notifications sent at once at a specific time. This means that if you know you’re going to be busy at school or work, you can opt to be notified at the end of the day, as opposed throughout the day.
Last but not least there will also be an option for users to set reminders for themselves to take a break. Users have the option of setting reminders to appear every 15, 30, 60, 90, or 180 minutes. These reminders will automatically pause videos when they appear. So if you’re someone who finds themselves easily distracted by YouTube, then perhaps this might come in handy.

These days, shooting on film is expensive, and it continues to get more expensive. If you use an instant camera, like Polaroid it costs a lot to snap pics. $19 for just eight shots was too much for Tim Alex Jacobs, so he hacked an old Polaroid camera to print out images on cheap thermal paper, the same kind that is used in cash registers to print out your receipt. This makes the instant camera much cheaper to use.
To pull off the feat, Alex bought an old, broken Polaroid, along with an old webcam, and a cheap thermal printer that was small enough to fit inside the camera’s housing after he removed the old guts of the Polaroid. He used a Raspberry Pi to control all of the hardware. It also took lots of custom coding and troubleshooting to get the webcam and thermal printer to communicate.
After all of that, there wasn’t enough space in the camera to fit an entire roll of thermal paper, but he got enough in there to get a few shots between reloads. If you want to try this for yourself, the details of the build are on Jacobs’ site, but you’ll need some skills. This is more than a novice project.
