I've gotten the shrek movie to fit in under 25 MiB. You probably can easily fit the whole 4 movies and leave some space for books if you know how to compress video well.

When you're connected to a webpage for 40+ minutes you're being exposed to all kinds of info stealers, trackers, cryptominers, etc.

If you just check what you're downloading is an mkv, you are pretty much risk free.

I dunno. But if AirPlay works by sending your screen over wifi, it might be a bandwidth issue. Streaming video from youtube to your phone and then from your phone to a TV can be quite intensive, especially with modern phones being 1080p or more, which takes more bandwidth to stream to a TV. I've had this problem on a slow wifi on Android, and there's not much you can do to fix it besides upgrading your router.

However, it doesn't mean that's exactly what is happening here. Certainly someone could be throttling video quality on purpose and we wouldn't really have a way to prove it. With how shady and monopolistic big tech companies are, I wouldn't put it past any of them (google and apple)

B-but capitalism breeds innovation!

The books they shared still had DRM on them. As we all know, if it has DRM you don't own it. They never gave away any book, so I don't see what they did wrong.

Puking is good, it helps to get rid of toxic stuff in your stomach. The fact that you need to puke is bad, because it means you ingested toxic or poisonous stuff.

It is surprising how much the landscape changed in just 5 years. All the right wing parties got a boost, but most importantly, the ultra right and christian right parties. All those are surely going to want to implement ChatControl and measures like that because "We need to protect our children!"

I'm also scared of all the new Q-Anon type parties that last time didn't even exist and this time won a few seats. Ultra right conspiracy theorists that now have more seats than even the pirates.

Also look at the results from Gernany or Austria. AfD and Orban. Pro nazi and pro russian parties. We're going back in time for a remake.
