I was a premium subscriber for 1 month and quickly cancelled my subscription, the reason is simple: I was still bombarded by ads, just not YouTube ads. If YouTube want my business back they should simply find a way to force YouTube creators

Exactly this! I keep seeing this nonsense that a $70/99 store replacement battery is a great cheap deal. Yeap, only compared to a brand new phone. When you have a cheap iPhone from 5 years ago and you compare the price of a battery rep

Yeap, everything can do nefarious things. But, somehow I trust a random dev that refuses to accept donations, even though my cheap ass would definitely donate to him, more than Microsoft, apple and (insert BigTech here)

You’re misunderstanding me. On android you can see if the app have network permission. On iOS privacy report you can see if the app accessed the network. There’s an important distinction. On the first instance the app can’t access the outsi

God and I thought I was going crazy. I have an iPhone XR bought on release day and my girlfriend just bought an iPhone 14. I can’t, for the life of me, see a difference on performance. It takes better pictures at night and that’s about ever

Please teach me how I can watch Linus Tech Tips on YouTube without ads with YouTube premium and without installing an extension. There are several levels of ads on YouTube and paying for YouTube premium only gets rid of one.

For all the people recommending keepassxc and are also iOS users, how do you deal with the lack of reproducibility of iOS apps? Even “opensource” apps such as strongbox and keepassium have no way of asserting that whatever code they publish
