We recommend Rumble as YouTube censors videos.

DEFCON Warning System Desktop App
For Windows 7, 8.1, and 10. Displays current alert status on your taskbar and DEFCON tweets in your Message Centre. Updates every 10 minuets. Optionally sounds an alert tone and generates a pop-up when the alert level is upgraded. The DEFCON Warning System Desktop App is the first to be updated when the alert condition is changed. If you want the quickest notification when the Alert Condition changes, this is what you want.
DEFCON Warning System Android Widget
This app will poll the server every 10 minutes and display the current alert code. If code is upgraded when widget is running, it will sound an alert. App uses very little bandwidth as it only downloads a single byte every 10 minutes, but there is overhead with that. Our estimate is that it will download less than 1K per hour if it is running constantly.
