Just switched to a new phone carrier, and they had a promotion that included a free phone: the Google Pixel 8. I’m not a fan of Google, but I am a fan of free, so I took the bait.

It’s already bombarded me with pitches for their new AI bullshit. I’ve opted out of as much as the settings allow, but I’m under no illusion that doing so actually provides any real privacy.

So, damage control time.

On my previous device I used YouTube Vanced for music and videos, but I guess Vanced isn’t around anymore, and I’m pretty out of date on what the current options are… any insight on streaming specifically?

 

*I’m a medic who’s only surface-level competent with tech, so please idiot-proof any instructions.

Thanks all!

        Clipboard is copy/paste but instead of one copy, the clipboard can hold several items. One of the ways I use it is to copy my username and password into the clipboard when the password manager can’t autofill. This keeps me from have to pounce back and forth between apps. Yesterday, I wanted to copy/paste several lines from one document to another. No clipboard makes this more time consuming.
