Sucks to be an iOS user. On Android you can install ReVenced and block all Ads and in video sponsors.

Additionally, you can install 3th party clients for YouTube Music (without ads and background play).

Probably they will add a way to sideload APKs iPAs on device, without 3th party tools.

They might increase the 3 apps limit too.

Are you sure you want to use shady 3th party service like that? You wouldn’t want to break out of Apple’s eco system, wouldn’t you? 😂

Jailbreak? Jailbreak is dead since iOS 15 but ok 🤙 Nowadays, buying an iPhone to jailbreak afterward, doesn’t make much sense at this point. You pay so much to get stability and constancy, and jailbreaking takes both away.

As ex jailbreaker, I switched to Android for this reason.

iPhone 8 stills fine for jailbreaking, but newer devices have more security layers that need to be bypassed, therefore you will have stability problems.

Also now, jailbreaks are rootless, which I don’t know what really means (probably less tweaks functionality).

I usually use that to install updates.

Why don’t you try becoming comfortable with Linux while using it in a Virtual Machine? I tried different distros too, and then I decided which one was the best for me.

We can’t really suggest you one, if we don’t know what you are going to use it for.

You may want to do some research, because different distros have different purposes (gaming, privacy, programming, easy to use etc etc).

Let us know, what your use cases will be?

OnlyFan contents are pirated and shared on a daily basis as any other media. But because there are not many requests for it (also since consuming directly on OnlyFan hits differently, as you talk with the actual girl), and in part because of NSFW nature, you will find them only if you actually search for them.

Sure thing, you will never encounter this kind of content on common NSFW websites 😁

I agree 100%, most messages are just bots, and now with the surge of AI it will be much harder to distinguish a real person from a computer.

Is this VPN comparison breakdown trustworthy?

I’m shopping for a VPN providers, and really struggling to find a detailed and non-biased breakdown of the various options. A number of years ago, I recall finding an extremely detailed VPN comparison spreadsheet that had 30+ columns, which were contained criteria by which the VPNs were judged both quantitatively and...

I have been using NprdVPN for 5 years. Speed is pretty good, and their zero-log policy have been proved by 3th party. They also use RAM only servers which is better.

It may be a bit expensive though.

I agree 100%.

NordVPN undertook three independent audits to prove their no-logs policy. You can check that with a quick search online.

I am not sure about that particular leak and the kind of data that was leaked, but I am pretty confident about their zerolog policy as today. NordVPN has undertaken not one, but three independent audits, which is more than other known VPNs.

Many websites confirm their clams, like those ones:

www.vpnmentor.com/blog/nordvpn-no-logs-policy/tomsguide.com/…/nordvpn-logs-is-nordvpn-secure-do…tomsguide.com/…/independent-audit-confirms-nordvp…

But in the end it is up to you if trust it or not. For me it is pretty good.

Trasmission never worked well for me, on the other hand qBittorrent did the job perfectly.

QBittorrent has been my torrent Client for 4/5 years at this point, never having problems. It works on my Steam Deck too (Arch).

Surface the Web with VPN, Ad blocker, Anti-Tracker, use Linux. In 5 years, I have never encountered a virus or a trojan. Following these 4 “rules” and you’ll be fine on any website.

Yes, true that. :)

Really extreme, but good to know. 😉

I think everything goes against the battery? Did you try to recalibrate it? Discharge the battery completely, and then go into the BIOS and wait until it turns off. Now charge it for a couple of hours while it stills off.

I don’t think it is gonna fix anything, because it seems like a battery problem. Maybe try to get one from iFixIt, I had bad experiences with batteries from Amazon (if you got it from them).
