Have you checked this wall charger from Belkin.

People who do not backup their laptops or phones, then come complaint to me when they are unable to to access and get a photo when the device dies.

I went through this with my wife a few years back. We had to live in a single room for years to make ends meet.

10 years later, we are a family of four now in a three bedroom house that we will hopefully complete it’s payments in 5 years or so.

Difficulties can still happen but we will sail through it again if it needed.

Been archiving a lot of my favourite shows. I expect a lot of them to either disappear in ten years, or sit behind some subscription.

Shitty icons, unnecessary quick panel change, and obligatory AI.

I have an old pc running windows 10, it would be cool if it stops getting updates. Makes for a nice offline pc to get some old apps and games running in the future.

I started using YTDLP to download the shows I care about and have them saved offline.

I used to watch a show that got taken down. The show came back online few months later with heavy modifications to remove any potential DMCA footage from it.

Depends on your phone, some Samsung phones come with modes that can do that out of the box.

If you can get your hand on a ThinkPad that would be great. They are usually rugged and built to last. You can install windows or Linux on it.

Notally does not have any account or syncing capabilities.

Antennapod for podcasts.

Futo keyboard instead of gboard.

Newpipe for YouTube.

Notally for notes.

Firefox browser.

I do have two questions here to be honest,

1. Why post on lemmy when you can post it on Reddit? Increased visibility?
2. Why use this instead of RedReader?

Thats not how it works. If a server is streaming ads to you then it shouldnt be a problem detecting that and blocking out that server.

What Google is doing is baking in the ad into the video so that the video itself has the ad embedded into it. This way you cant block a certain server from serving ads. And if those ads baked in have different duration for each user, then SponsorBlock stop behaving properly as it uses timestamps to skip segments.

The issue is that Sponsorblock uses timestamps of videos to skip segments. If the ads injected all have different durations, then SponsorBlock is now obsolete.

Came to mention this channel exactly.

It’s a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?

I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can’t shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.

Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).

It’s a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.

They will still keep them green. You know how teens react to those bubbles.

For this, I tend to use the AI features of duck duck go. Just ask the question and get an answer. No account needed.

First recall, then getting rid of local accounts, and now this.

Might shift back to Linux now.

Can you list these banking and parking apps that don’t work please?
