What movies can you rewatch often and not get tired of?
  • Lately, Megamind and Scott Pilgrim vs the World.

    Also, Terminator 2, and lots of others that I can't think of right now.

  • Every single Wes Anderson movie ranked, worst to best
  • I used to love the Royal Tenenbaums, but when I watch it now, it feels like nothing really happens in that movie. Like, I still like it and quote it, but I just can't justify it being at the top of the list. I think it should swap spots with The Life Aquatic, then I could agree.

  • Maximizing privacy on Android without custom ROMs?
  • I used ADB for years, but I recently started using two Android apps, Canta and Shizuku. With these two apps you can uninstall any app (even the hidden ones) directly from your phone without connecting to a computer. I can be a little tricky to set up, but it's by far the best and clearest method for uninstalling bloat and spyware from your phone. Even better than Universal Android Debloater (which is still a great option).

    Fwiw

  • Youtube or Spotify?
  • If you're on Android, NewPipe is a great option.

  • Youtube deletes and strikes Linus Tech Tips video for teaching people how to live without Google. Ft. Louis Rossman
  • I went through three Pixels (6, 6 pro, and 7) with Graphene before I finally gave up. Not because of Graphene, but because Pixels break so easily, and even small damage to the screen will almost certainly render the phone unusable. I'm a contractor, and I need a phone that can handle some moderate abuse. But even with Otterbox cases, my Pixels could just not hang.

    Sadly, with a heavy heart and a wounded concience, I've gone back to Samsung. Yes, they spy on me, and yes I absolutely detest it, but at least I can drop my phone once a month and not have to replace it or pay $200 for a screen replacement.

  • What do you all use for password management?
  • This line of reasoning kept me away from password managers for a while, but I've been using Bitwarden for almost a year now, and I could never go back.

    You're technically right, but a better way to look at it is that it reduces your surface of attack from many weak points, down to one, very strong and secure point (assuming you use a reasonably strong password for your vault, and don't log into your vault on public networks or anything like that).

    But at the end of the day, using a password manager is vastly superior to relying on your memory, which is what many people still do.
