You can try a private DNS, easy to set up in Android and blocks ads in most apps and browsers

Invest in a mesh WiFi network.

They can be pricey but perfect for old buildings with thick brick walls.

Is a distinct possibility.

Even now I come across US sites which don't work because they don't want to have the whole GDPR compliance for EU members, which is usually overcome by a simple VPN to Canada/USA.

Funny thing about this is that the very people this is supposed to protect are probably far more tech savvy than the dinosaurs writing the legislation.

Torrent sites are blocked in UK by most isps , does it stop torrenting? No. And this wont work either it will just restrict the internet for the majority to "protect" the minority.

I'm curious as I've been running DNS66 on my previous and current phone and whilst it does exactly what it says (blocks all ads across the device) my concern is that the last published update in fdroid sas 2021.

I'm currently running AdAway which has been more recently updated and does an equally good job of blocking in-app ads.

My question though is more, if the software is still doing what it was intended to do is there a fundamental risk in using software that is no longer being updated?

I feel sorry for the 9 collateral damage victims.

Him on the other hand, nah.

We were both married and I was genuinely worried she might feel the same way.

Why ruin four people's live on an indulgence?

A head injury. 5 mins plus to review a VAR decision, Spain time wasting in the 90 minutes , 13 minutes as justified under the new rules.

It has nothing to do with corruption and all teams were aware of the changes to the addon times.

Ah yes, another lie from the brexiteer brigade which is a gift for future generations to live with.

Each user has their own experience. In a household of 6 where I'm the sole android user , iPhones are not perfect.

I've seen them just freeze requiring a trip to the Apple store to unblock, constant disconnects frim WiFi, not switching on mesh network, dropping apple watch connections.

I've never experienced any issues with my android devices, save fory pizel 7 which seems to forget Bluetooth devices, which is super annoying.

My current phone Pixel 7 supports 60/90, my previous phone had 60/120 Xiaomi Mi11.

Both run at 60, why? Because I'm absolutely buggered if I can tell the difference other than higher rate drains the battery quicker.

You could also be in a position where the insurance just disappears.

I joined lemmy.fmhy.ml which has now disappeared, from what I gather they received a take down notice.

So whilst but important which instance in general being with a reputable one can matter.
