Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

I go to YouTube for tech guidance sometimes, because nobody is willing to write proper instructions for anything, but in a video you can kinda see what they're doing.
Honestly, I'm not even subbed to any streaming services.
Maybe I'm just weird but I think in some cases I actually prefer how cable works VS how streaming works. Like I get all the benefits of streaming over traditional television, I really do.
But sometimes I just want to turn on the TV and just put something on in the background, y'know? I think that's just something missing from the majority of modern streaming services. Sure, you got things like Pluto TV or Peacock that have linear channels as an option, but those are few and far between.

I haven't had cable TV for the last few years. After a few shows I watched during the weekends came to an end, I just wasn't turning my TV on anymore. And cable prices got far too high just to keep a couple channels around.
I don't care what show is on. They have pushed the ads past the point of sanity.
Ads don't bother me on TV but they do bother me on YouTube.
**** YouTube ads.
**** YouTube ads.
The worst part about YT ads is when the uploader goes to the trouble of putting in chapter breaks and then YT ignores them and just throws in their ads all willy-nilly.
You people use Youtube without ad block?
Mobile.
Mobile or the Roku app.
And let's be real here, while there is a way to block YouTube adverts on mobile (or at least on Android, it's called ReVanced btw), the average person isn't going to be aware of them either.
I have no idea what I'm doing with technology but I'm still surprised how little the average person knows.
Technology has no idea what you're doing with it, either.
My computer and I deserve each other.
It's all because people are always on their damn phones.
(I've read multiple articles talking about how Generation Z aren't as technologically literate as you might think they are even though they've literally grown up entirely with technology because so many of them exclusively use their phones as their primary computing device, which make things as simple as possible for the end-user)

I hate mobile OSes. I need my overcomplicated file system with folders nested 20 levels deep.
The fact that like 80% of American teens use iOS doesn't help tbh.
iOS is shit.
iOS is shit.
I haven't experienced anything Apple since early MacOS, which I only used for film editing. What's wrong with iOS?
IDK I just prefer Android because of customizability and openness lol.
