YouTube HTML5 error message decoding

One thing puzzling with YouTube HTML5 support is the message "this video is currently unavailable" which could mean a lot of things. The actual translation is "we need to show you ads and you need Flash for that".

If should be noted that there is no problem on mobile platform, Android or iOS, the video is shown.

Deleted my LinkedIn account

Yep, I deleted my LinkedIn account. Despite the fact that I got no value from it, the leak of 6.5M unsalted password hashes was just the icing on the cake. For so long they had a deficient SSL support, they ask to decrypt a captcha to login and lot of other stupidities. And their mobile app steal or leak personal info like your iPhone calendar.

I should have done that a long time ago. When they asked a reason I typed in "too dumb with security"

You know where you can find me.
