Intel’s iGPU is still the by far the best option for applications such as media transcoding. It’s a shame that AMD haven’t focussed more on this but understandable, it’s relatively niche.

Silicone earplugs, that don’t enter the canal, solved this long-standing problem for me. I sympathise with you regardless, a snoring partner is a difficult situation for both parties.

You can like something and want it to be better. In the lack of actual alternatives the vitriol against YouTube’s anti-user decisions makes a lot of sense. I think you’re just being contrarian.
