Samsung has been providing iFixit with genuine parts since at least the S20. Although this is a good first step it came with a huge major caveat:

Screen+battery are only provided as a single assembly. You can't buy them separately.

These are the two most common repairs on a smartphone and to get a simple battery you need to buy the expensive screen.

I am hopeful Samsung redeems themselves this year especially with the introduction of the Fold5 to this program. Otherwise this is nothingburger only meant to appease regulators and legislators

Dave's Garage is a channel with genuinely interesting content and is very knowledgeable about all things Microsoft/Windows.

However (I hate to be this guy) take everything he says about non Microsoft/Windows stuff with a huge grain of salt. Especially after this comment he made [1]:

>"No, Windows is a closed-source operating system loved by millions. Linux is an open-source operating system which includes a binary blob from Linus Torvalds built into EVERY release that ONLY he has the source code for. Pick your poison. They're both closed, one just has the illusion of transparency."

I thought this was fake but you can check the link as the comment is not deleted yet.

Again I reiterate, Dave's garage has very interesting content, but take everything out of his expertise with some scepticism.

I see a lot of comments focusing only on the ad-free part of Freetube, however there are really good reasons to use it apart from that. I was a ad-blocker Youtube website user and I switched to only using Freetube (even before the "adpocalypse") because of changes Youtube has been making/removing. Here are some things that made me switch:

- mega fast compared to youtube website (especially for firefox users)

- separates videos/shorts/live on your subscription feed into custom tabs (can also hide any)

- search results are actually usable and shown in a grid (No "People also watched|For you|Previously watched|Latest" every 1/2 results taking your whole screen)

- can customize scroll over video player action (skip, volume, playback rate)

- set custom forward/rewind and playback rate intervals

- set default video quality

- >2x playback rate (up to 10x)

- distraction free settings (you can hide almost anything you want on each page, examples: trending/recommended videos, the likes/dislikes, the live chat, live streams, premieres, profile pictures in comments and much more)

- hide videos from specific channels

- display video titles without excessive capitalisation option

- easily export/import your subscriptions to any format

- multiple local accounts each with its own subscriptions

The "still needs some work" things:

- playlist support is not in yet (you can save videos but they all go to one place and you can't order them)

- some parts of the UI, although very usable/fast, need some love (looking at you settings page)

- tab support would be great instead of having to open new windows
