- Comment on Is it better to: [A] watch videos content on a flagship/midrange smartphone that you already have, OR [B] get a cheap tablet (say, around $200 USD) to watch videos? 1 week ago:
I would try getting a tablet. I don’t like Apple devices because of their “jailed” software policy but iPads have awesome display panels, maybe getting an older model for cheap could be good. Have an iPad 3 (2012) and the panel is still miles better than my cheap Lenovo P11 (2021).

- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 1 month ago:
probably because of CGNAT or torrent trackers reporting fake stuff. Usually when the first seen and last seen equals it’s the latter, otherwise it’s the former. It’s pretty accurate for me…

it could enable targeted attacks. just use a vpn if you can afford one.

- Comment on Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using adblockers or is it just me? 2 months ago:
seems to work for me rn but youtube’s web ui has been extremely slow for the past few years. videos take more than 15 secs to load and start… to the point where running a terminal and doing yt-dlp & mpv is much quicker/easier.
