There is a support thread tracking the issue about not being able to manage playback speed using apps on devices other than Android (and only if not casting) at https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/153199802. I suggest following it for updates.
To get action on this, go to YouTube and submit feedback describing the issue and how it impacts your desire to use YouTube.
My use of YouTube is down 50% because of this issue. How about you?

Either my Google search skills are degrading or the signal-to-noise ratio on this topic is so high only the noise comes through. Either way, I am posting a fix I should think would be easy to find but wasn’t…How to complete Visual Studio Code (VSC) updates with Malwarebytes Premium installed.
To say I found no answer is a bit of an exaggeration. I found several that were just plain unhelpful, and one that worked, but not acceptably. The first time this was an issue, I found an unacceptable solution (I say an, because I don’t consider removing Malwarebytes to be a solution, nor any of the less-polite suggestions of what to do with it) was to turn off Malwarebytes to run the update. While this works, every-vigilant Windows thinks it is an opportunity to win back territory for Defender and starts it, which prevents re-starting Malwarebytes. Being a busy techie, re-starting Windows is a long task because I always have at least 20 applications running.
So when the issue came up again today, I dove back into to the deeper Google waters, i.e., page 2 of the results, and did find a suggestion to temporarily uncheck “Enable Protection”. This must have been referring to a different version, as that was not one of the options. There were several others that could be disabled. To cut a long story short (note that whenever that phrase is uttered is inevitably too late already), I went through the options one by one and found that one that allows the installation to complete: Ransomware Protection.
If you are just looking to save space on your operating drive, always remember to use the Description box for snapshots and delete those you no longer need.
It will take some time to complete. Depending on the size of the disk and the amount of empty space, it can be a long time, so be patient.
When the commands complete, shut down the guest.
The next step is to run VBoxManage.exe. First, locate where VirtualBox is installed. This is usually C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox, though you can also find it by checking the path of the VirtualBox launch icon:
Find the VirtualBox install location from the launch icon properties
Open a commend prompt (search for cmd.exe) and cd to where VirtualBox is installed:
cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
Locate and copy the path to the VDI:
Then run VBoxManage as follows:
VBoxManage.exe modifymedium disk “[absolute path]” –compact
ex:
VBoxManage.exe modifymedium disk "T:\VirtualBoxes\Ubuntu_21.04_withVPN\Ubuntu_VPN_21.04-disk002.vdi " –compact
I also back mine up, which is why I need to reduce the size.
I just finished a long project focused on API testing with JMeter. The lessons learned will be posted to this category page with a theme tentatively titled:
