I use Baking Soda and Vinegar to convert all videos in Safari (macOS and iOS) to the native video player. Automatically selects the highest quality video available and skips ads.

No - rechargeable AA/AAA batteries.

No - look at the IKEA smartphone line (TRÅDFRI and the like). They have stopped producing Zigbee devices that require CR2032 batteries and have released larger units that take AAA/AA rechargeable batteries.

I wouldn’t say they’re out of fashion - a lot of smart home devices are moving away from disposable cell batteries and over to rechargeable batteries.

I think a lot of folks moved to Debrid services, tbf.

So Real-Debrid is a service that caches https-link-versions of popular torrents. Instead of torrenting, you select the movie or tv show you would like to watch and RD provides you with a list of cached streams (which you can sort by video quality, audio quality, etc). You click play, and it plays. It’s gaining a lot of traction, compared to torrenting. There are some really incredible apps for Android TV’s, FireTV’s, Chromecast devices, etc.

The best alternative is Real-Debrid 😉

If you use Android/AndroidTV, you can install SmartTubeNext. Gets rid of ads, you can disable Shorts from appearing altogether, SponsorBlock, etc.

Obligatory ‘Libby is awesome if you have a library card’ comment.

Can you elaborate on this routine? I’ve heard of folks using clean rags that go into a bin. Or air-drying…
