They disclose their advertisements through audio and video, altough I dislike them not declaring in title whether it's a sponsored video or review. Linus said publicly that he wonders why people don't understand which of their videos is sponsored or not, but going by their titles it's to be expected.

Watching their video it's imo pretty obvious what is a review and what is ~~sponsored~~ advertisement.

Where I live some banks have their own contactless payments app which can be set as default in Settings. Sadly many banks only support Google/Apple Pay.

Immich has breaking changes too often, so I disabled auto updates for the server and phone app. Updating every few months with backup beforehand is a good tradeoff for something as important as images.

Reading patch notes is especially important with some Immich releases requiring minor admin intervention, e.g. running an extract metadata job.

Torrents are pretty much perfect, but are held back by peoples slow internet connections. If ISPs provided symmetrical connections (e.g. 100MBit/s down and up) P2P file sharing would be everywhere.

Sadly most providers in Germany heavily favor download speed. E.g. a friend of mine has fiber optics 250MBit/s down and 50MBit/s up. That's a 5:1 ratio!

PS: Symmetrical connections would also be great for other use cases. E.g. simple, e2e encrypted P2P video conferences.

Currently in video calls with more than a few people, a device sends it's video stream to a server which then sends it to all other participants. This increases cost for Zoom/Teams which then get passed to it's users.

The better solution would be for each device to send it's video stream to all other participants directly (p2p). This would result in video stream bandwidth times the amount of participants (e.g. 5mbit x 10 participants = 50mbit/s up).

Manually configuring wireguard might work and protonvpn provides config files [1]. It's unrelated to the issue, but wireguard additionally supports port forwarding which increases download speeds for torrents.

I've no idea why the network isn't showing up.

Different teams with different priorities. But I would've also assumed that they roll out features simultaneously on all platforms.

Timely security updates and late major Android version upgrades aren't exclusive. I don't know whether Nothing phones receive monthly security updates, but many other big manufacturers don't either.

The movie-web addon needs quite a bit of permissions. [1]

Edit: If it actually needs access to many websites/domains it's better to set the permissions explicitly for each of them like MALSync does. [2]

This add-on needs to:

• Block content on any page
• Access browser tabs
• Access your data for all websites

This add-on may also ask to:

• Access your data for all websites

It's less of a problem to link to solutions to a more general problem than specific shows/movies. Copyright holders are more likely to take action if they find their content directly mentioned and linked to.

I've added a keybind for deleting history, but it'd be great to have a way to specify short lived clipboard entries. But this might also be one of those standards that no one implements.

Wayland only keeps the clipboard until the application exits. This means a clipboard manager is basically a requirement. Iirc desktop environments might solve those issues by default, but on a standalone compositor just add a clipboard manager and enjoy the history.

Whether a device is wired or on wifi matters on some routers, because some routers have wifi and wired devices on different subnets by default. It's unlikely, so I wouldn't worry, unless you notice accessing it only works wired.
