Yes, and 11h on a phone a day will really degrade your battery life far faster then average. Meaning you will have to replace your phone more often.
For example, I don’t use social media on my phone, and I would say I only use my phone about 2 hours a day, mostly for calling and quick research, and I only need to charge my phone every 2 days. On top of that I’ve had my phone for 4 years.
Edit: details
Carpenter bees, they nest in wood.
Nord has a bad reputation for privacy, maybe change your provider? Use mullvad or proton if you want a better experience.
I think it would be safe to assume that they are blocking some things due to their background, that could be your problem.
Google and privacy goes together like lithium and water
Not gonna waste my time on a anti-Semitic sac of shit.
Ok keyboard warrior, maybe you should turn off your computer and go outside.
No, but there are better alternatives to adobe that don’t hog your ram harder then triple a games
I’ve had good experience with it, just make sure to use proton experimental if it’s a new release.
If it’s got a nvidia graphics card you could use prime-run
Could be just a bad torrent or bad config in qBitTorrent
I think you are using the free version of proton vpn.
With proton vpn you have to pay to use BitTorrent or other p2p stuff. It’s how they fund the free tier.
It could also be your ISP blocking torrent traffic.
You could try using quad9 dns and enable DNS over HTTPS on your system and do DDL.
There is also ECH (very hard to get working) but is amazing at bypassing content blocks.
Edit: unlikely that you would want to take the time to set it up but DNScrypt is amazing especially when you have annoying captive portals at a coffee shop. Requires some setup before you try to bypass.
Might want to take a look at pi-hole, requires a spare computer though. You will need a router though.
