Also, YouTube itself is used to pass misinformation and harmful content (also in a small percentage of videos). It's up to the viewer to decide how to act on it.

I'm around the same rating as the OP. I've also experimented with playing Stockfish with queen odds, etc. One thing I noticed early on is that it's much much harder to beat a much higher rated human when they give me queen od

I upgraded to 14 on my Pixel 7 Pro a few days ago and didn't notice any problem so far. What are the worst issues I am likely to encounter?

This might be particular to the age of the OP. I just turned 47, so I'm one year older than him. In 1981 (so when I was 5) my parents bought me a Sinclair ZX81. It came with literally nothing except a BASIC interpreter in ROM and a man
