Perhaps even attomanagement

Fish are not real. Salmon is a kind of bird.

What people commonly refer to as "fish" are in fact government spy drones designed to detect and stop seaweed smuggling.

When you're connected to a webpage for 40+ minutes you're being exposed to all kinds of info stealers, trackers, cryptominers, etc.

If you just check what you're downloading is an mkv, you are pretty much risk free.

It's not even coffee. It's artificial sweeteners with a bit of sugar and some more sweeteners.

I think they meant it like "I prefer ethernet more than wifi"

You know the funniest thing? Smartphone charging has been made much more powerful in the last years. Now, instead of 10W, they can seep 80W and charge really fast.

However, due to smartphones also using way more power than before and having way bigger batteries, all those improvements are completely offset.

I have a phone from 2017 and another one from 2023. Both take the same time to charge, and the new one needs a 40W brick, while the old one is happy charging on a 2.5W computer PSU. But the old phone lasts longer than the new one!

I dunno. But if AirPlay works by sending your screen over wifi, it might be a bandwidth issue. Streaming video from youtube to your phone and then from your phone to a TV can be quite intensive, especially with modern phones being 1080p or more, which takes more bandwidth to stream to a TV. I've had this problem on a slow wifi on Android, and there's not much you can do to fix it besides upgrading your router.

However, it doesn't mean that's exactly what is happening here. Certainly someone could be throttling video quality on purpose and we wouldn't really have a way to prove it. With how shady and monopolistic big tech companies are, I wouldn't put it past any of them (google and apple)
