alkyne's degree of unsaturation

[glme]

when calculating the degree of unsaturation, I remember Chad saying to count alkyne as "1" degree. But I see other sources saying that it's 2. Am I just remembering wrong or are there different situations?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Alkyne is 2 since it has 2 pi bonds.

Each pi bond is a degree of unsaturation
