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.

They will take it seriously if their personal information becomes visible.

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

Most of these browsers use the enterprise policy of chromium.

For a year, but it will be extremely difficult for them to maintain mv2 after jun 2025.

I can but the issue is that I won’t be using it. My current phone will be better than a used phone bought.

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 don’t mind giving graphene a try but I’ll be honest, I have the following issues:

• Need to buy a pixel phone for this.
• I use a memory card so pixel phones might not be an option.
• fear of bricking a phone that I just got.

Came to mention this channel exactly.

File level access to files. I would love to have the option of moving files in folders and connecting it to a PC to drag and drop files.

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

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

I would look at my list of accounts stored on my keepass folders, and start migrating the accounts, one by one, to a new email account. Some of them might allow changing the email, some might require creating a new account.

Seems like an application specific thing.

I run android 14 and I only get this on certain apps (gmscore for example).

Honestly, one month of a service like Netflix or Disney. I’m against these services but I feel $15 will give great value for a month.

Standing desk might be difficult.

How does the sitting ball help?

My job does not involve any movement at all. So 8 hours a day I’m just sitting down.

I try to incorporate an hour to the gym a day. Jogging and running is pretty hard and I cannot do more than 30 seconds. But I am trying.

2023 was a bad year for me. Countless respiratory infections really took a toll on me.
