I doubt that will be true anymore. 12 will probably have even more spyware and ads than 11.

I have never connected my TV to the internet and I never will. I have a huge media collection that I can watch on the mini PC connected to my TV. Most of the shows on the streaming services are not even worth watching. They seem to have gone for quantity over quality.

Anyone with a NAS will immediately notice that they are on 2.4GHz because it will take several times longer to transfer files.

I use the free Adguard DNS server with the private DNS function on my phone. It works well enough for me. I don't see any reason to get the paid version. Of course I have uBlock Origin, but the DNS ad blocking helps in apps other than my web browser.

I can't stand the screeching of a dot matrix printer. The correct way to print the news is with a teletype.

I would imagine most people who aren't using chrome are doing so for privacy reasons.

I don't care, I will still keep blocking them. I have no desire to watch that zero effort, tiktok like crap and I can't stand vertical video.

One of the less polished parts of the browser.

Probably because most people using Firefox disable browsing history.

Why not just make solar roofs over things like parking lots and sidewalks? That way it can provide cover and power, you can use off the shelf panels, and they are unlikely to get damaged.

SponsorBlock takes care of the sponsored segments in youtube videos. There are addons for blocking sponsored search results on amazon too.

You can do almost anything with a website that you could do with an app. The only reason they are pushing the apps so hard is because they can collect a lot more data than a website can.
