Those scanners cost like $1500 US +

Today I opened YouTube in Internet Explorer on a Microsoft Windows Vista

I didn't ask for help to use YouTube, IE, etc. I just wanted to talk about
whether Youtube/Google might give its web browser preferential treatment via
YouTube. And what the boundaries are, if there are any here.
If you're right, is YouTube's decision contrary to net neutrality? They're
not throttling by speed; they're throttling features. This is assuming that
there isn't some other explanation, of course.
Net Neutrality:

IE would have to support full screen for the JavaScript video player to take
advantage of it? I know almost nothing about coding so I'll defer to your
guess. It also seems most likely because it would be pretty bold of
YouTube/Google to cut out Microsoft, right?

I'm trying to use Trisquel 7 on a 2007-2008 iMac. It gets hot, and I don't
think that the fans run to cool it down.
I ran the following instructions (thank you Legimet and Magic Bananna) in the
terminal:
sudo modprobe applesmc coretemp
echo applesmc | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo corete
After a 15-30 minutes, the iMac gets really hot. This is after I ran the
first command again. The fans don't run unfortunately.
I followed this guide:
https://ineed.coffee/3838/a-beginners-tutorial-for-mbpfan-under-ubuntu/
Unfortunately when I enter this command near the end:
sudo systemctl enable mbpfan.service
I get this message:

Thank you!
Do you know of a Trisquel-compatible way of learning the cpu temperatures?
Do you think it's okay for me to guess the min, high, and max cpu
temperatures? I will guess conservatively to keep the computer cool.
I will try to set up the Mac again soon. Thanks again for your help
My friend helped me replace the harddrive recently, and he used an electric

people who use Adobe reader to open my saved work cannot see my entries in

Right! The web browser superimposes a file path and print date on the

give it a try.

doubt that it will mount on a Windows computer.
