I remember seeing a lot of reporting referring to an NSA best practices guide recommending to reboot your phone weekly. They do not really go into much detail though. Either way, it definitely does not hurt to reboot.

Here is one of the articles that I found: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/06/01/nsa-warns-iphone--android-users-to-turn-it-off-and-on-again/

The 96GB limit is just for Windows. It can be taken higher on Linux.

I use Caddy due to the extremely simple configuration and automatic SSL.

They do, but apps can integrate their content with the TV app without subscriptions being controlled by Apple as well.

Most likely they want people to use their app where they have complete control of the experience and only show their own content. They do not want their content mixed with content from other services. Also with Apple being a competitor with TV+, Netflix has likely been hesitant to give Apple access to viewer data that Apple could use to decide what kind of movies and shows they want to produce.

I remember reading this article a couple months ago. Here is a quote:

This operating system is supposedly built around ads; we know how that sounds, but advertising is also prevalent in other TV software platforms including webOS and Fire TV OS. The Trade Desk emphasises a user experience that delivers "better cross-platform content discovery, personalization, subscription management, and potentially fewer (more relevant) ads," so we hope that the importance of ads doesn't detract from the user experience.

If this is actually true, there is no reason to consider Sonos. Especially at the super premium price of $200-$400. That makes the Apple TV look cheap.

There used to be a bundle with both, but that ended over a year ago.

I have been using Nebula for years and it has replaced most of my use of YouTube. Whether it is worth it for you or not depends on what you watch. You can see what content is on Nebula without subscribing to get an idea of what is there.

The biggest problem I have with Nebula is that it is advertised as a “creator owned” company, but that is not actually the case. Here is a blogpost that goes into more detail about that. That being said, from what I am aware of, Nebula still pays creators more than YouTube per view. I just wish they were more transparent about their business.

This was very disappointing. It is bad enough that Samsung has made almost no changes to either the S line or the Z Fold for the last 2 or 3 years, but they make it even worse by raising prices. The trade-in deals seem worse than in the past as well. I actually like Samsung's software, but they really need to put more focus on their hardware again.

I mostly use websites in order to use ad blockers and many apps use far more storage than necessary. I mostly use apps when they have functionality that I want that the website is missing or when the app just offers a significantly better experience than the website.

Ente is also able to be self-hosted.
