NO it’s because of the excellent customer service

Good ol counter strike

On the contrary. If I’m paying double the price on a flagship compared to 8 years ago, then I want more features not less.

On Android try NewPipe, but dont expect algorithm recommendations, just the main trending pages. Same for iOS use “unwatched”

Exactly this. People shit on the Chinese companies, but the American ones just rip us off with the same product.

You do see ads, you just don’t realize it. There are multiple 1-2 minute videos on your feed usually with the title “Introducing [insert product]” and these are product placements that YouTube is very well aware of. They also had the audacity to tell me that these are ads but they don’t “interfere” with me watching videos. So, they are injecting ads into premium subscriber feeds already. Disgusting company.

Matter sucks ass

You’d be surprised to see how many common libraries have vulnerabilities every week.

Start with the basics:

• Harden SSH by only allowing public key authentication and use strong keys to authenticate instead of passwords.
• Setup fail2ban (lots of online resources, check Linode guides) to block malicious IPs temporarily.
• If the data you store is something only you should see, then it should not ever be connected to the internet, airgap wherever possible.
• And finally, keep your shit updated.

You talk as if it is yet to happen.

Crazy to think that even the newest Pixels can’t cast to any device unless you specifically have Chromecast support, which most of the TVs don’t. I can cast my Samsung or iPhone just fine tho
