Rethink, for example. Also allows denying an app internet access, if your OS can’t do it by itself.

I also wonder what connections it normally makes and how many)

I wonder what happens if you deny the app internet access? The permission for it is separate from “nearby devices” or “location”. Or use the firewall specifically for it?

Also yeah, the whole situation is messed up, never thought headphones could require an app :/

Yeah, that is a very valid option! I don’t like it when people not into collecting do it, though. Because it makes zero logical sense for a digital copy to be tied to a physical thing, unless you like the sentimental value of said physical thing as well.

I tried Vanadium when the install was fresh. The adblocking is just not that good… For example, on one of the sites it blocked the ads, but left out the giant HTML elements they used to be in.

I am not saying church isn’t far from God. I am saying that the whole concept of using AI for this is pretty offensive by itself.

Unless you build trust with the kid. So that if the child is having disturbing thoughts, you’d be the first person they’d find unconditional help from, and that in really bad cases - you’d help arranging professional therapy for them.

Source: worked on me.

Now that’s blasphemy.

You don’t have to upgrade the TV itself. If the TV cannot handle the new format on its own, external box is enough.

Most of what I download are webrips, though.

Now that’s the Technology community I like.

You can trust your own relatives or friends though - as long as you encrypt the drive you give them. Doesn’t have to be a service.

I do that. Every game I buy on Steam corresponds to a DRMless copy.

I don’t like that a paid plan gives worse experience than free tools. For example, the downloads not being files you can store indefinitely and play by anything. Or not all ads being guaranteed to be blocked.

Edit: it would not fit my usecases entirely. First - I listen to a lot of Youtube videos as podcasts, so the audio downloads have to be in my podcast app together with downloads from my RSS feeds, so app-locked ones would be useless. And second - those would be useless for archival. Something increasingly necessary given how Youtube has already deleted some of my favorite videos.

Ew, it is still on by default :( Unless you set your browser to save site data for this site, you would still see the AI :( Fortunately, the Javascriptless version has no such pest.

I have also seen a video discussing that Grammarly often makes mistakes because it doesn’t understand context and nuance as much as a human would.

“This is how, with a few simple contraptions, a loaf of white (or black) bread can be turned into a trolleybus… But what for?”

It does allow for actual downloads, it’s called yt-dlp.

Instead of reripping, I can just recopy from a backup drive, which is easier. And I can loan it to people too if I load it onto a USB drive or, y’know, just send the file online.

My university told us outright “Y’all know how to use Sci-Hub?”
