actually these are the kind of issues I'm having on windows right now. (i have a secondary machine with windows 11)

sound card stops working if i have my mic enabled for too long, network card driver stops refreshing ipv6 adresses randomly, cpu usage randomly spikes to 100% while in sleep mode (causing the temperature to spike to like 95 degrees because the fan exhaust is covered when the lid is closed (also i have disabled auto updates (using a GPO, i do them manually) and background ms defender scans, so it's not that))

I'm considering just nuking that install too

my last dualshock 4 lasted like 3 years before starting to show first signs of drift

tbf i think dualshock 4 controllers die about as fast as joycons. but also joycons cost 70$ while you can get a new dualshock 4 for 25

that's a bit of an overreaction

to be fair, most people aren't using physical keyboards with their phones, this mostly applies to tablets (which are much less popular) and android tv (where firefox isn't even officially supported anymore)

anyway, even without that issue, the android version of firefox is kinda janky and regularly gets stuck while loading websites

idk it's over-engineered but it's actually pretty cool in it's own way. it's like a crappier version of nushell i guess. still I'd rather use nu.

lol iirc there was a case where a domain name for some website expired, so hundreds of ukrainian language textbooks had urls pointing to a porn website. it was all over the local news

(also the publisher tried to get the website blocked (which doesn't make any sense)???)

or use the enterprise edition which is the only windows edition with an option to disable telemetry using group policy editor. in the other versions, you have to resort to terrible hacks.

wdym literally all phones can be unlocked without a waiting period, account, internet connection or any other bs (it trips the knox e-fuse tho)
you just go to the settings, enable oem unlock and run fastboot unlock.
it's as straight forward as it gets and works on all devices that aren't locked to a carrier or sth (which is mostly an us-exclusive issue)

i was using my older mi play as a router (temporary solution) until we moved and got a proper internet connection. (we were very close to the poland-ukraine border back then and only my old phone was able to pick up vodafone ua's 4g signal across the border)
it shut itself down multiple times and was constantly turning off the tethering mode due to overheating.

it still has vibrant permanent yellow burn marks on the display around the hot spots and only drains 0.5a while charging no matter what.

the issue with the subscription feed is that

  • it makes it harder to find new channels to watch

  • it doesn't stop showing channels you don't care about anymore automatically like the algorithm feed

  • gives all channels the same value - i like some stuff more and some stuff less.

  • subscription feed prioritizes channels which release more videos (quantity over quality), which causes it to quickly fill up with clickbait and low-effort content unless you carefully watch your subscription list

(tbf, I'm not a privacy extremist, i don't care about first party tracking if it's actually used to provide a better service. "personalized" ads (and other third party stuff) can go fuck itself though)

suggestions are kinda the whole point of YouTube.
don't care if they're algorithm-based but they DO work (unlike for example example the twitter feed.) youtube suggests me some good shit and awesome new small channels all the time
