So what's the recommended replacement?

I will not go back to the stock launcher because they're dog water.

Steven management?

Edit: I was joking around. Since Seagal sounds very similar to seagull.

Surprised the title didn't say, "Apple slammed for ear pods that are designed to die".

Gluing components together so it's not easy/impossible to repair is different to 'designing to die'. In my opinion designed to die suggests the ear pods will die prematurely due to intentional design decisions. Gluing components together just means that when the ear pods die, then they cannot be brought back to life and you have to replace them.

A lot of platforms strip out the meta data. All social media platforms and all messengers I've tried strip out the meta data. There might be some that don't?

Does the meta get stripped locally or on their servers though? I suspect locally.

Your OS doesn't matter when picking a VPN provider.

Others have mentioned plenty of good options.

Nice. I use Mullvad DNS for the same purpose.

They seem to have many different endpoints depending on what you want to block, which is customizable only down to the type of content. Ads, trackers, malware, adult content, gambling, social media.

If I understand it properly, they have 64 different endpoints for their DNS. But I'm not sure if all of these are publicly facing or if you have to be connected via their VPN service for all of them to be accessible.

Can you customise it down to the domain?

How much battery do you think this consumes? I've always thought an always on VPN set up but never tried it as I assumed it would drain the battery too quickly.

When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS's XS package (this 1€/month). It's one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it's a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it's just straight forward.

One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don't want to set up your own.

I'm not deleting them. They're uploaded to the cloud at the time of creation. I also move them off my phone to my computer every 6 months or so - I do this just in case the upload to the cloud has ever silently failed. I deduplicate the images, so I don't have multiple versions of the same image with different file names.

For me it's not entirely about space. I rarely let the device get more than 2/3rds full. It's also about speed. If I want to pull a photo/video off my phone, it seems sluggish when there are thousandths of files in that one directory.

I have in this past month or so on my computer. I saw it on a friend's computer 2-3 months ago too.
