I've gotten the shrek movie to fit in under 25 MiB. You probably can easily fit the whole 4 movies and leave some space for books if you know how to compress video well.

Fish are not real. Salmon is a kind of bird.
What people commonly refer to as "fish" are in fact government spy drones designed to detect and stop seaweed smuggling.

When you're connected to a webpage for 40+ minutes you're being exposed to all kinds of info stealers, trackers, cryptominers, etc.
If you just check what you're downloading is an mkv, you are pretty much risk free.

It's not even coffee. It's artificial sweeteners with a bit of sugar and some more sweeteners.

You know the funniest thing? Smartphone charging has been made much more powerful in the last years. Now, instead of 10W, they can seep 80W and charge really fast.
However, due to smartphones also using way more power than before and having way bigger batteries, all those improvements are completely offset.
I have a phone from 2017 and another one from 2023. Both take the same time to charge, and the new one needs a 40W brick, while the old one is happy charging on a 2.5W computer PSU. But the old phone lasts longer than the new one!

I dunno. But if AirPlay works by sending your screen over wifi, it might be a bandwidth issue. Streaming video from youtube to your phone and then from your phone to a TV can be quite intensive, especially with modern phones being 1080p or more, which takes more bandwidth to stream to a TV. I've had this problem on a slow wifi on Android, and there's not much you can do to fix it besides upgrading your router.
However, it doesn't mean that's exactly what is happening here. Certainly someone could be throttling video quality on purpose and we wouldn't really have a way to prove it. With how shady and monopolistic big tech companies are, I wouldn't put it past any of them (google and apple)

Afaik it wasn't a temperature problem, it was voltage related. Obviously cooler temps help, but you would probably still be vulnerable to this.

Oh, for me it's the opposite way. I've never had problems with AUX, the cable was always there in the car and I also used to always carry one with me.
When cars started having bluetooth, the aux port disappeared, and I never managed to have the same experience of just "connect and go". Sometimes headphones take over your bluetooth mid drive because the lid opened accidentally, sometimes it disconnects for no reason at all. If someone has google auto connected, nobody else can connect the bluetooth to play their music. And it drains battery way faster than AUX.
I wish cars included both options, but for some reason they completely forgot about the AUX.
I've never tried the controlled temperature seats though, I'll have to try those. The idea certainly sounds good.

Basically the same thing as when you fill a non-stick pan with water. Hydrophobic coatings only repel water in a way so that it doesn't stick to the surface. That's why they use hydrophobic coatings on windshields, so the droplets of water slide easily and quickly.
Granted, the effect is more noticeable with hydrophobic coating than with non-stick coating, but if you were expecting the water to visibly float away from the walls, that won't happen with either. Reality is sometimes disappointing, huh?

That's an example, but you mentioned it yourself. The BSDs aren't Linux.
