Could alternatively use a data-only card if you want to allow streaming.

You can then limit the data used a couple ways - through your account, or with a local app or phone config (and some of these apps use a pin)

You could also use an app like No Root Firewall to limit network access (and Android can enforce an always-on VPN, preventing network access if the VPN isn't running). It too can be locked with a pin.

Just some ideas if you want to allow streaming with specific apps (no root permits you to block network for all apps, with exceptions). I use it with a prefilter that blocks a bunch of social media and ad domains.

I'd rather be poor than have to listen to my neighbor fart, like that dystopian place on the right.

PiHole made my Samsung TV so much faster (probably 30%), since it no longer loaded ads for shows into the app bar (they don't appear like ads, but they are).

It also broke stuff (like info for broadcast TV channels, and the Samsung TV channels, which are internet sourced), but that was easily fixed by disabling those filters.

Fuck the UN.

Seriously - when you choose a country with vile fundamental human rights abuses as the head of the human rights commission...

Wait, when did NASA land a fully reusable rocket like fucking Buck Rogers?

Then do it again, but capture it with the freakin' launch tower?

When did NASA even have a reusable rocket? Oh, the shuttle, the bastardized money pit for NSA/NRO/Air Force, that appears to have been designed to orbit a surveillance satellite chassis, which most people know as Hubble (it's one of many, this one being used to surveil the universe, instead of the earth).

And the shuttle was a quasi-reusable orbiter, not a rocket.

The space shuttle wasn't as reusable as it was claimed to be.

Each airframe required massive refurbishment after every flight.

And the "crashes" you're talking about were part of the project process, articles that were never going to be any more than test objects to begin with.

NASA crashed a lot of stuff, unintentionally. Three off of the top of my head, killed 15 astronauts, all which were preventable (not to mention the launch pad failures getting to Apollo).

NASA/NACA/Air Force crashed a lot of stuff along the way.

Ffs they knew Columbia had a tile problem, and said "it'll be OK". They knew it had been too cold for the booster seals on Discovery, and launched anyway.

Lol, better looking ancestor too! (that's not saying much, I realize).

I give DivestOS a mention - it's a Lineage fork with some security changes (such as sandboxing MicroG if you decide to install it).

Wut?

Do you smell toast?

How about fudge?
