I broke a hinge myself that way, learned it the hard way

Did you open it without the backplate on?

Anyways this is crappy anti consumer design by the manufacturer.

Did the same in school on a Z80

You can check the SponsorBlock FAQ about this. They do not need to do additional reprocessing

I'm prette sure they have to send the metadata to the client where an ad starts and ends. Just to make the ad clickable.

Timestamps can be calculated on the server, but maybe there will be an api endpoint that can be abused to search for the ads.

I just use the browser to get the games

Not if I don't play the games then

The encryption on Android devices is pretty strong, as long as you use a good screen lock you should be fine. Yes they can reset you phone, but accessing your data is a whole other level.

If I had illegal shit on my phone, I wouldn't send it to apple servers by using an iPhone. They are the first who would comply with a surpena. I'd use GrapheneOS on a Pixel and use an obvious duress pin like 1234. If entered it wipes your encryption keys and avoids restoring your data.

And if it gets stolen, it is gone and I'd get a new one. This is the cost of having proper opsec.

Edit:

But I also think that freedom allows for more exploits.

This is a common misconception called security through obscurity

Yes, opensource doesn't magically fix all vulnerabilities. But it is for sure way better then closed source, where you don't have a way of auditing the code

Then why is this the subtitle:

The apps identified have since been removed from Google Play, but make sure you didn't install one.

Here you go:

I don't fall for this, I switch back to Windows

I just don't get it why mainsteam media almost never reports about this.

You can look into Plasma Bigscreen

I don't think that most people will care

I also found this, It's for a RaspberryPi but surely can be adapted:

You can look at the source of the snap and check what it does

I don't have any experience with your exact question.

But I would look into xinit and try if you can start just mpv.

If this doesn't work look for a slim WM and configer it that the applications are displayed in fullscreen and launch mpv after the WM.

Probably any of the tiling window managers should work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Window_manager

I agree, I wouldn't suggest arch to a newbie either, but OP said he has experience with arch

I daily drive Arch for about 7 years, therefore I'm clearly biased. But I love Arch for the AUR and the ease of getting packages. For me, it is the best OS on desktop to get things done. For other use cases, I would probably choose a different OS, but desktop is Arch all the way.

But you'r mileage may vary.
