I've been using the Zen fork of Firefox and have been enjoying it greatly. It's still pretty early, and a lot of the Firefox issues are still there, but regardless it's felt better than any other browser I've used lately.
And since it's Firefox, it's unaffected by he Mv3 bullshit
I'm so glad you said this; my roommate didn't do this. The (single) bathroom mat would be absolutely soaked when he'd get out of the shower, and would remain that way for hours after. Everytime I mentioned it he'd say "that's what a bathmat is for" and I eventually had someone else mention how they had their socks soaked before I finally got him to start drying himself off first
- Tidal ($5.82/month student), like my HiFi music, even if it's indistinguishable on most of the speakers I use
- Nebula ($2.50/month), mostly the same shit as on YouTube but as-free (without adblock) and usually a bit early access
- PIA (~$2.33/month), avoids a Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV+, Discovery +, Paramount+, you get the gist+ subscription. You had a good thing going but you got greedy and fucked it
- Recurring donation to Lemmy dev ($5/month), despite any of the devs political views, I appreciate the service and continued support of the software and recognize that dev isn't free,though I do need to sit down and set one up for my instance as well as my mastodon & pixelfed instances.
Some of these are yearly but reduced to monthly for ease of viewing
Personally I've used Western Digital, Seagate, and PNY drives with no failures. Stay away from anything HP branded; they don't actually produce drives but rather rebadge other failure-prone models and make it damn near impossible to claim any warranty.
I've had a Samsung Evo drive fail on me, but warranty was pretty easy. I've also had a PNY 2.5" ssd that has never failed on me, but I did break the connector off accidentally. Warranty was actually ridiculously easy on that, despite it being entirely user error.
If data is mission critical, it's worth shelling out extra; stay away from any cheap brands (HP, SanDisk, etc) and opt for the higher end models in reputable brands (Eg WD Red, Purple, and Gold vs Green and Blue, or Seagate Ironwolf or Firecuda)
These are my own personal experiences. Others will have better/worse experiences and I encourage you to seek out others' experiences and options, as well as others to add their own
Friendly reminder that Lexar isn't Micron anymore and was acquired by Longsys. I've had reliability issues with their products since

Oh absolutely, my account has been overwritten (as if that does anything ) and deleted for over a year now.
“While we are making this change to ensure users’ expectations regarding a community’s access do not suddenly change, protest is allowed on Reddit,” writes Nestler. “We want to hear from you when you think Reddit is making decisions that are not in your communities’ best interests. But if a protest crosses the line into harming redditors and Reddit, we’ll step in.”
Yall have very clearly demonstrated that you do not care about the communities best interest, and you have no interest in hearing what we think. Fuck Spez and good riddance to reddit

They've got a long way to go, but as a lifelong Android user, I have to commend Apple for the improvements they've (undoubtedly have been forced to) make thusfar.
