Remote control over your phone or using a Xbox controller like if it were a console. Back in the day I had an htpc remote but ability to control apps is inconsistent.

For me nothing is more simple then a PC interface. I hate having to scroll using a TV remote it takes so long to do anything and it's quite limiting in other ways.

Stremio/Plex with a Microsoft keyboard that has a touchpad built in. It's big but you can get small ones off Amazon for $20

Same. Seems like overkill when you can see what it can do. But also at that price you can velcro it to the back of your tv and it can literally do anything so have at. I don't see a lot of better options. I use full computers personally.

N100 mini PC imo. $150 does everything.

You'd be surprised maybe how many developers don't properly remove all files they put on your computer. Adobe is notorious for this.

You misunderstand. They're calculating a fingerprint that identifies you across sessions despite you changing up a bunch of values on your browser with an extension because that's all highly detectable. They know it's junk data they don't use it. It actually is worse because you stop blending in with the crowd.

You're better off blending in then trying to look unique with every visit. The latter is a flawed concept.

Read the arkenfox guide they get into it. Most extensions just reduce your ability to blend in to the crowd and thus should be avoided.

Your extension might make you MORE finger-printable. Advanced fingerprinting scripts can detect lies told by extensions.

If you're actually interested in reducing your fingerprint you should read the arkenfox guide which leverages built in features from firefox. You'll see very quickly that if someone wants to fingerprint you it's trivial and there's little you can do short of TOR.

Freight is definitely tracked but not necessarily scheduled in regular intervals. This is true for both trains and ships. Like it costs so much and the world isn't always that consistent.

But yeah like cp/cn/CSX/ns/BNSF etc all know what's on their lines and where.

However these lines are fully private unlike aviation so there is no requirement to publically provide any data.

For planes position data doesn't even come from the airline but a govt mandated transponder that communicates on public frequency on the aircraft and private websites use a network of recieving radios donated or not spread across the world to provide the public with a service they also try to profit off of. This doesn't exist for trains as far as I know. And I don't think for ships either.

This is just how hot wheels works they reuse a casting and do a run each year in a different combination of colours and wheels. The licensed stuff tends to have fewer variations but I have batmobiles not in canonical colourways.

You actually don't want to use the flag. So it should have reinforced the unwanted behavior.

Sometimes I get a thing where my bt audio doesn't connect properly and the audio controls like volume aren't properly synced between my devices.

E.g. turning the volume up on my phone is like a seperate volume and then I can also turn up my headset on it's own controls.

This is a legacy support thing. You can force the unsynced mode in developer settings.

When my devices are connected properly the volumes are synced together as one control.

Usually turning the headset off and on again is the quickest fix.

Fwiw I have a p7.
