Well since I've been mostly in customer service jobs I'd like for people to know that the reps don't make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that's undesirable such as prices then it's something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be as nice to the reps as they are to you.

I got a used Pixel 3a on eBay 2 years ago. I've left it in the humid restroom and even accidentally dipped it in water to where the speakers got wet and blared. It dried off and the loudspeaker sounds normal again and everything still works.

Since then, I've also bought a used pixel 4 that developed a flickering screen and a used pixel 6 that overheated, Sim reader malfunctioned, won't turn on anymore, and was declared unfixable at quikFix.

To be fair I also have a new pixel that I love the heck out of. But my go-to for using at home with wired headphones is the soldier, Pixel 3a.

I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN. Those channels sometimes sounded like they were defending Apple then telling people if they don't like the content then to just scram. Also, they would talk about custom roms for Android, then eventually when the channel got more viewers, the host makes a video advertising Google and why he now uses stock Google Android and saying that it's advanced. These channels, I sometimes find, either have bots or loyal followers on YouTube and Reddit that are ready to gaslight someone for questioning them. They don't hang out on other platforms like Odysee which is strange.

What is a good podcast about privacy and security?

I'm looking to never have to use Google Maps. Is OsmAnd+ the best?

I want to download my favorite debates and old videos from YouTube to upload to Odysee or PeerTube. Can I do that without getting in some sort of legal trouble? Thanks
