Saw Louis Rossmans original video on the app and figured (and it may well have been) it would be buggy and awful at that point. Decided to gike it a try, the app has all the options I could want for watching youtube, it's multiplatform to a much greater degree than Newpipe and it's forks.

The reason I don't ever expect to go back to Newpipe or Libretube is the plugins update through the app, meaning I can get bypasses to YouTubes bullshit as fast as they're developed.

Newpipe is usually updated quickly, but in my experience forks like Tubular that include sponsorblocks often delay me from getting that update.

Overall, very good experience so far!

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 has been discovered to support the new Samsung DeX interface instead of the classic one.

Following yesterday's Pixel Buds Pro 2 leak, another one today reveals that Google's new headphones will bring back some sort of wing tips.

In new leaks, Google's Pixel 9 Pro XL is shown in all four color variants, signaling a four-color launch lineup too.

9to5Google can now report that what replaces the Chromecast with Google TV 4K is the “Google TV Streamer.”

Foldables are still very much a new form factor in the smartphone industry. Manufacturers have been quick to make improvements year over year, but it feels like Samsung has somewhat stalled. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a good phone – that’s hard to deny – but it feels like little has changed.
