What?

How to scare the ~~adults~~ Americans too

FTFY, I love that in my third world country nobody loses their shit if you don't tip.

Yeah totally agree with this, macOS is way more efficient than Windows, so 8 GB doesn't feel like utter shit, I would expect it to be similar to Linux with the same amount.

My main MacBook Pro has 16 GB of RAM so for my usage that never is a problem, but my gf got a M1 MacBook Air with 8 GB and we both use it from time to time, and it is snappy and the RAM is never an issue, even if the machine never goes off lol.

The lack of official soundtracks in Spotify are the mean reason I use YT music for that.

I remember my colleague days when I stopped using USBs in favor of Dropbox, I felt I was living in the future.

Do you have this in your exemptions?

Add this in your exemptions and test it.

Fair, but I still want something on the left.

Are you using a Pi Hole or any tool that blocks ads though the DNS?

Pretty much the only thing you can do nowadays with root is install tweaks that hide the fact that you have root from other apps lol.

While it is true that you can install those modules to hide it, I wouldn't say they are the only reason to stick rooting lol, a lot of apps work way better with root permissions, Battery Guru, FKM and AdAway are 3 good examples that I can think of right away.

With root?

1. Having a superior backup and restore method, Swiftbackup rooted is way better than Google's solution.

2. Hassle free ad-less YouTube (and YT music) the root apps (Magisk or KSU) come with a way to auto update, so, from the user side I just hit update and I am good to go, no need to waste time patching the apks myself.

3. I can replace the Google news from the side/left menu with whatever app I like, in my case, the Feeder app.

I can go on, but you just asked for 3.

I moved to Android for the 1st time ever in 2020 from an iPhone 6s.

The device I decided to go with is a Poco F2 Pro which lost official support years ago, it has decent hardware and even the battery still holds up (with a good custom ROM, I still achieve 8 hrs of SOT).

It just took me about a year, or perhaps less to move to the custom ROM scene, and for me I can't ever go back to stock Android ever, even when it is a big step regarding iOS features (except for LS customization) the amount of stuff you can do with rooted android device is no joke.

My only regret is that I was never in the prime days of rooting... At least Telegram communities are super active, not that it is better... But personally I prefer it to discord lol.

I was in the prime days of jailbreaking though, too bad that they seem to be doing worse nowadays.
