I owe a Boox Note Air. Had it for a while now. Overall very good tablet but it is expensive. Runs a custom Android skin which is fine since I run it offline most of the time. Perfect for reading and writing.

Short answer, no, it is not normal unless you have some kind of illness.

28 years of age is usually too young for your body to fall apart. It is enough time that your bad habits begin to show results, such as muscle loss, muscle imbalances, etc. This is usually caused by your life style. As you get older, its more important for you to do maintenance on your body and watch what you are consuming.

If your life is too stationary, then you will start to see yourself falling apart. The old saying of "If you don't use it, you lose it" starts to hold true with time. How "aged" your body feels really depends on how active you are with it, to an extent. There are people twice your age that are in fantastic shape, that is because they put in work to maintain their bodies.

It is time to introduce some good habits to your routine. Eat a bit better, move around more, more active activities, etc. You will start to feel better again before you know it. Good luck.

I'm not from the south and use "y'all" all the time. Find it very useful for filling in a gap that English has and slightly faster than saying "you all". Its gender neutral in my opinion.

Never once thought of it as offensive.

I like Boox but they are on the more pricey side. Basically an android tablet with an e-ink display.

Localsend is a good one to try out. Works with all devices and is pretty fast. It does however require an app to run.

For something you can run off the web on PC you can try pairdrop. This doesn't require an app to work on PC. Haven't tried it without the app on mobile so not sure if it will work on there via web.

I prefer Localsend over pairdrop due to local send being completely server less and all local.

I would avoid anything built into the TV.

1. Its starting to be used for spying on you
2. The chip they come with are usually not that good unless it's a high end TV.
3. They are building ads right into the TV themselves.

I would not connect the TV to the internet and use a external media player. Either a Nvidia shield or an Apple TV is your best bet.

You can also try building a media player yourself using a small computer.

Note - The self made media player will be more limited in terms of apps available, unfortunately, as well as streaming quality from some of the streaming services.

Its due to compression of the video in order to fit on a MMS message, which is very small. Android uses RCS as a new message standard that can send bigger files but Apple has yet to add it to their OS. Its similar to how Apple uses iMessage to do the same, however this is not a standard and is locked to only apple devices.

Apple is supposedly adding support for RCS during the new iOS update but until then you can use a different messaging app to send better/larger files.

I recommend Signal as it is easy to sign up and start using while also being private.

Isn't matrix more like slack that you are looking for?

Check out LocalSend. App that let you send things over local WiFi. No server required.

Ignore or if you must reach out some way, then through the work email keeping it professional.

AI doesn't automatically equal not private. Its probably still has private as it was before.

Now if it starts showing it knows things about you, then I'll be concerned.
