"Watch demo" doesn't work for me (FF, Chromium)

YT ads are intrusive like with TV. You can't skip most them easily anymore like you can scroll and skip sponsored Google Search results.

Firefox and ublock origin... no ads. I avoid youtube on my mobile device as it's a lot more difficult to control the ads there.

NewPipe[0] is a client for YouTube on mobile. It's available on F-Droid and it hides the ads.

There are some forks floating around which also include SponsorBlock, but I haven't tested them yet.

Especially when you have to account HIPAA/GDPR/legalese, and some serious SecOps behind that.

I would say Sqlite is closer, you find it on every phone, browser, server. I bet Sqlite files will be still readable in 2100. And I love Postgres.

They can much more than you can imagine. I bet you have installed at least one 3-rd party app with Facebook SDK bundled in and profiling you. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44763949

My mother in law is constantly worried by some Google Ads in random apps that her phone is hacked...

Did she ever get anything side loaded like that? I have downloaded malware by mistake before. Not once were they allowed to proceed with installation. The only way I got anything side loaded was if I installed the first one (which is always Fdroid) deliberately via ADB after I enabled the developer mode.

No, her phone is clean. The point is GAds quite often are of questionable quality with bullshit scaring unaware people. But then as a solution G worry of grannies being tricked into installing APKs so they turn into gatekeepers of side loading completely for everyone - absurd.

The risk is Google could ban all F-Droid apps in one step, which will happen for sure.

China will push own Android OS forks into other markets even harder, if they do it fully open-source then bonus for them, users will force devs (banking apps etc) to get more support. A good example is one EU bank which publishes to Huawei's AppGallery to support non-Google certified Android phones.

Longer cycle does better job with microbes removal, especially with enzyme and activated oxygen bleach based detergents. In 30 min your machine just "rinses" the laundry to get a scent.

The dryer kills the microbes.

Again, Europe. Different from the US. European dryers generally don't heat above 45-60C, which isn't very effective at killing microbes. They do, however, use less electricity and are gentler on fabrics. Personally, though, I hang up my clothes and only use the dryer for sheets and towels.

European dryers do not get that hot. You need over 75C consistently for a minimum of amount of time so the fabrics can heat through and hold that temperature. The sterilization process is basically the same as Tyndallization.

Only in high temperature.
