You don’t sound like you weren’t around the Windows Vista/Longhorn development days when they promised a successor to NTFS and then over the course of the next couple of years, would bail on that (and nearly every other promise made).
And FWIW, they are developing ReFS, which looks like it will finally supplant NTFS, but given MS’ business model, don’t expect NTFS to ever really disappear.
In 2005, Sony BMG installed DRM software on users’ computers without clearly notifying the user or requiring confirmation. Among other things, the software included a rootkit, which created a security vulnerability. When the nature of the software was made public much later, Sony BMG initially minimized the significance of the...
Yeah it made pretty big headlines. It wasn’t so much the DRM but more the way they went about sneaking it onto people’s systems. And even after people were exploiting the kit, Sony did this:
“Russinovich noted that the removal program merely unmasked the hidden files installed by the rootkit but did not actually remove the rootkit.”
There are few companies I will never support. Sony is one of them. They have absolute seething hate and disrespect for their customers.
There is no ecosystem as mature, polished and integrated as Apple’s. I am all in with them and the way all their devices and services work together is just marvellous.
But the answer to your general question is you will need to go all in on a single company. And TBH, you should. They are all bad to some degree. But cobbling together a pipeline of various manufacturers will always result in a terrible experience, and you’ll be generally paying the same for it anyway.

I see this as a good thing. Now Reddit has to bear the cost. Even if they find replacement volunteers, some employee still has to make that happen. Likely several. It’s costing them. And that’s what the goal was. To weigh them down.
I was hoping every mod would walk away. All at once. Like you say you can run it all, there you go.

No, it just fetches the raw video file. When YT places ads all they do is pause the vid, inject them thru another instance, then resume the original vid. The overlays are handled by YT imbedded player. Together this gives YT the ability to work sort of like a TV channel.
Regards to the plugin, YT has no idea you’re using it. You’re literally side stepping them.

Vinegar is for YT and Baking Soda for the rest of the web. Little annoying the devs split them up but they are both great as they give you a basic video. No ads, overlays, nothing. It may seem like a small thing but man does it have a huge impact.
I recently came across a YouTube video that shed light on the detrimental effects of sitting for long hours and provided exercises and stretches to combat them. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find that video now. I have a few tools at my disposal, including dumbbells, a pull-up bar, an elastic band, and a yoga mat. I was...
Mostly stretches. The key point is to just move. Get up, stretch, walk around. There’s no specific exercise really. Your body is a series of pulleys and levers. Try not to think in isolated terms when it comes to muscle structure. You can’t workout your biceps without also working out your triceps (they are opposers). Whatever you do affects your entire body.
With that said, hanging is amazing for your back. If you can hang for a min or so couple of times a day (morning and before bed), it will decompress your spine and combat the effects of gravity.
Boomers. My former boss was like this. Sit in a crowded, loud, hot, glare on every screen office BeCaUse it ProMotEs CollAborAtiOn. Yeah. No one “collaborated.”
When did we sign something that said I’ll work for you but also in some of the worst conditions because well just because.
