This coming down the line finally got me off of my incredibly lazy ass and forced me to switch a few months ago. It was easy, and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

Titan mode was my absolute favourite and nothing since has filled that gap

It might even be a bit simpler than that, as YouTube's going to have to mark segments as adverts somehow so you can't just skip past them.

The BPI-WIFI6 is currently half price and good value for what you get imo. Not sure on true performance yet as I need to rewire my house but it's way more reliable than any of my other routers at least.

I don't think you need a netrunner to plug a mouse into the pc behind the monitor and hit "Leave" on the (I assume) Zoom call.

Even easier, unplug the ethernet cable.

Pretty sure it's a Nexus 4 from 2012, and that shipped with Jellybean so it's highly likely.

Technically no, but you can gain stock access to these permissions without root using AppOps and Shizuku to fine tune permissions.

Used it so I could listen to audio from a camera as a baby monitor whilst still being able to play YouTube videos.

I'd recommend DeArrow to get rid of this. I've set it to just pull a thumbnail from the middle of the videos, and the titles are community edited to remove the massively clickbaity ones (if the channel is big enough).

It even comes in ReVanced so you can remove them on mobile too.

Yeah, you can plug it into a few external services like OpenAI or even use a local LLM like LocalAI. Not used either, but I know it's possible.

That would also explain why Aldi in the UK also has these while other stores don't.

From the UK. I've never seen matte spelled as matt. CA, UK and AU are generally pretty close with spelling, whereas the US is usually off doing its own thing. It's a similar thing to blonde and blond.

I agree and think the main issue with Vista, as you alluded to, was that Microsoft set the minimum specs far too low and gave companies an excuse to add the absolute minimum bargain basement components, then blame Vista for being slow.

However, if they'd increased the minimum requirements those same companies would have a fit and refuse to ship Vista at all.
