When it comes to streaming devices, nothing beats Apple TV in my opinion.

Outside the Apple TV app itself, the OS has very little ads. The only thing I dislike about it is the lack of Kodi + Google Drive plug in, but Infuse Pro works.

Screensavers were initially made to prevent screen burn in at the time.

If your browser supports PWAs, I’d reccomend that over the electron app you linked. You’d get better performence, and it would be snappier.

I’d rather directly use Bing and utilize the 'Give with Bing' feature to donate to a non-profit of choice; when I did use Bing, I did it for LGBT and LGBT Youth.

Asked how likely big companies would be to abuse their data, Americans were most wary of TikTok (59 percent), followed by: Meta (56 percent), X/Twitter (49 percent), OpenAI (48 percent), Google (44 percent), Apple (41 percent), Amazon (40 percent), Microsoft (38 percent), Comscore (32 percent), and Adobe (31 percent).

I'm surprised people trust Microsoft and Amazon more than Apple; Amazon needs all the data they can get on you to build "better" profiles on what to sell you, ties your Alexa requests to feed advertising (you can opt out) and Microsoft, especially with Edge (post advertising and services team takeover) has been trying to send everything to Microsoft to feed both ads and their AI. FFS, even Outlook warns you now that they'll share your data with >800 "partners".

Apple is no saint, far from it, but people trust a conglomerate over it?

The irony of holding an Irish flag and fighting for Russia. Fucking twit.

He has also started paying for YouTube Premium again, despite making I believe two videos on why it's bad. Oddly enough, I noticed it in the video where he talks about his friend who repaired childhood photos of his.

Beth - Kiss.

FWIW, I'm 23 and I believe this was 2004.

Some apps will save the text of the webpage in your account, while others just strip everything but the text on the webpage.

If you want to ensure the article you are reading doesn't succumb to link rot, using this method ensures you'll still have the article.

Alternatively, using Firefox Reader Mode, Vivaldi Reader Mode or Safari's Reader Mode, you can email yourself the text of the article and access it anytime through your email. You can create a folder or label to organize them!

 

I figured this may lead to an interesting discussion in the comments.

How has your use of Technology changed in the past year? I'll start.


  • Due to the rise of streaming services and Sony/discovery removing content from libraries, I downloaded all my iTunes purchases onto a 2TB SSD (which I'll soon need to get another).

  • Like many, I've stopped using Reddit outside of Google search.

  • I've reduced my subscriptions to just two. (Apple One and Google One)

  • I've purchased DVDs/Blu rays of my favorite uncensored shows (Family Guy and American Dad) and ripped them and watch them through Cloud storage (Google Drive via Infuse for Apple platforms, and Kodi for Windows)(I've also purchased MakeMKV just because it is so damn useful)

  • I've used Google App Scripts to bypass some Gmail limitations to make filters that I otherwise couldn't. For instance, in Outlook.com, you can block email addresses and domains before you have ever gotten an email from them. In Gmail, you can't. The best you can do is create a filter that deletes them. In my case, I've created a Google App Script that runs every hour and looks for (@.mil) domain emails and marks them as spam. (I am in college, and I fucking hate that they give my email to recruiters.)
