Depends on the media.
Minimum it has to be web-dl and 1080p.

For media that needs it or I want to (e.g. Interstellar), I will search high bitrate web-dl/bluray or a remux.
If it’s something I will for certain only watch once, I’ll be fine with a regular 1080p mid bitrate file.

While digital lending is fun and games it wouldnt work on a scale of the Internet Archive. The wait list would be tremendous for popular books.
Go use and support your local library if possible and donate a fiver to IA for their other services they offer

Only the one with the emojis in the name (something with a “K”)

How is free range grown-up meat bad for health?
Everything within limits and maybe not the cheapest drug filled meat?

Just encrypt the backup instead of keeping track of the encryption for every file?

Well England sucks :p /s

It’s either Football or the local equivalent to “Foot” and “Ball”.

The sport with the egg is “American Football”. And you US citizens can call our football “European Football” and not *Soccer".

And tbh I don’t have the time nor patience if I want to game after work.

Btw the “>” at the beginning starts a quote.
To prevent that put a \ before something like a * or >. Like this: \>. Hope I could help you :)

I will promise you that those two are not even close to the size of traditional versions you’ll see in Germany.

Same with rooting.
Sure it’s doable but outaide of special distros like lineageOS (community dev project to extend the longevity of phones and as an alternative to the OEMs flavor) and GrapheneOS (heavy privacy focus but pixel exclusive) I havent noticed or missed any major downsides I’d get from rooting my phone as I did in the past.

Now all Google needa to do is glue the whope mess into a cohesive product without doing an Apple from A to Z.

My dream is the (earlier pre 2020s) openness of Android combined with the cohesion and design of Apple.

Android truly is a magnificent clusterfuck like Windows but I still prefer that over someone like Apple defining where I can go and where not.
For Android what is my main draw is that I can fuck around in the filesystem with apps like mixplorer and sideload apps at my own risk. The first part (this is all from the very limited time I had to fiddle with phones from clients) is impossible and the second has too many string attached as far as I am aware.
Oh and I obviously spend money on some apps I would need to find replacements for and most likely pay again. The other points would need to be a strong contender to make me move entirely.

But it’s very tempting.

Afaik last time I connected my phone via USB I needed to pull down zhe notifications and there was a silent option offered to switch the type of USB connections.

If you have the luck that Android prompts you if you want to enable file transfer or just charge your device.

The recent integration Apple did in their newest update is peak usability.
Sadly it’s locked in the ecosystem.

This sounds highly like an Apple FS issue.
Don’t experience it nearly as much on my Android (Pixel 7).

Still salty about the google file explorer.

Most certainly.
My higher computer literacy stems solely from personal interest.
The IT education in school was basic office usage and other “normie” tasks. Not even typing classes…Still doing the 4,5 finger blind/hunt writing system.

I would put it up to 1999.
But the returns of 1995-1999 are very small indeed.
