It would be annoying, but to be fair, it’s the Mac Mini, which is small and easy to pick up. I would guess you could just tip the corner up to press the button.

I still think it’s a dumb design. It’s going to confuse everyday users

I’m not entirely sure how ad blockers work, but my understanding was they prevent things loading from certain URLs. If the ads are embedded into the video, then there’s no ad-specific URL to block

While the overall video would be a different length, video players often don’t count the ads towards the media time. So the deep links should be okay
