I recently got Islanders (on sale) and It's really relaxing & easy to pickup for breath bursts.

Yes

I did none of those things, I shopped just like normal and all the services I use on my devices worked like normal. Zero impact for me.

I use Handbrake or MakeMKV depending on the disc. MakeMKV I mostly use for Bluray, Sometimes the odd DVD doesn't work correctly with Handbrake.

In Handbrake, I just select the Quality and keep original Audio source, I've not needed to change any of settings.

If you use MakeMKV, Its "raw" so large file size (Some Bluray files I've had are like 40GB), You can run that file through Handbrake to reduce it.

They use it because the general public don't care what Elon/X is doing, They just want to see posts and they can still do that.

Cancer website, even if it is just a easy click; I hadnt even scrolled.

New Careers for the new (and Current) generation.

For adblocking, You can get Content blockers from the app store that you enable in the settings, Personally I use Adguard Pro. I've also got an Extension that makes websites Dark mode called 'Noir', You can adjust settings global/per site if they dont look good.

Extensions/Content blockers are limited to Safari (to my knowledge).

It also preserves History.

It was the NDS (and 3DS), Now It's the switch (hopefully a successor is on the way..)

I like all consoles in general and have had most modern ones up til Xbox One S and PS4.

Only own a PC and Switch now.

I like the portable form factor, I don't feel the need for a Deck as I can play everything I want on my current devices.

99% of people think all mobile games should be free to use. So they go for P2W to make money.

They wouldnt make anywhere close to the amount they do via P2W if they did an upfront cost.
