Dont know about you - but I lose USB drives all the fucking time! - <br/><br/> - Some cool tricks with a external harddrive is: making a encrypted partition - so <s>if</s> when you lose it somewhere some edgy teen isnt going to make - the next few months of your life fucking hell, making seprate partitions - for files that will stay in linux and files you might have to access on - some random ass machine running windows so file permissions dont get fucked - over, and making scripts to make backing up and restoring files easier. - <br/><br/> - Wanta sync bookmarks, browser settings, addons... across browsers on different - devices?

There are some tricks you can do. - </p> - - <h3>mpv</h3> - <p> - One of the features mpv has is it can stream youtube videos. I try to use alterative - youtube web clients and they tend to work great for searching for videos but poop - out when you try to play the video. When this happens just throw the youtube url - into mpv. Also under the hood youtube channels are just rss feeds so you can use - a feed reader to keep up with your favorite channels than watch them with mpv. I - also talk a bit about that <a href="linux_room.html#liferea" target="_blank">here</a>. - </p> - - <h3>yt-dlp</h3> - <p> - <a href="https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp" target="_blank">yt-dlp</a> is for - downloading your fucking videos!

Has the best interface out of all the youtube - clients. And it can import your subs from your youtube account using that same file - my rss feed list script uses. Once you get your subs from your youtube account you can - ditch that mother fucker! It poops out sometimes but the devs are fast to fix it. - </p> - - <h3>Revanced</h3> - <p> - Revanced is a project that patches the official mobile youtube client to block ads - and do other cool things. The official site is <a href="https://revanced.app" target="_blank"> - here</a>. On search engines the unofficial websites show up first so be careful. Some - people have used the unofficial websites without getting hacked while others have gotten - their google accounts hacked using it.

They have bad ass 40mm drivers and quite good frequency response. - They are about the most balanced headphones skullcandy sells and atleast for consumer - headphone standards they are balanced. <b>Most consumer headphones are unnaturally bassy - to try to cover up the fact they are pieces of shit</b> because most of you fuckers think - more bass means better sound. Hesh headphones have enough bass to itch that scratch - while still being actually good headphones. Most bluetooth headphones have a weak - single and barely ever manages to connect. Hesh headphones on the other hand have a - nice strong signal and are the only bluetooth devices that have not gave me shit. And - guess what? They still have plenty of battery life! They actually have a usable headphone - jack, the interface is good old buttons instead of swipe bullshit, and they dont even have - an app let alone lock features behind one! - <br/><br/> - They are built to last and can survive whatever - shit life throws at them. You can also get the anc which are a active noise canneling - version but they tend to make a slight clicking sound sometimes when anc mode is enabled. - For us sensative people the clicking renders the anc useless and the hesh models already - have good passive noise canneling as is. The evos cost less than the anc and they have - slightly better sound and battery life. Though I guess if an anc mode that makes an annoying - clicking sound is your thing have at it with the hesh anc. As much as I hate outside noise - the clicking is nearly just as bad. - <br/><br/> - Skullcandy's tend to be the main pick for musicians.
