Yes.
Worth it.
The modem in my 9 Pro XL has been completely fine since I bought the thing last year.
Time will tell as it ages.
For as popular as Samsung is, they sure tend to fuck up the UI quite a bit.
Only one of my cars has just one of those things (2015 Toyota Highlander and it's the blind spot monitor). That aside, all of my vehicles - cars and motorcycles - are paid off. I'm not going into debt just to have nannies yelling at me.
My vehicles are a means to an end. I would absolutely love more public transit, but there is just a single train station about 12 miles from my house, while my work is only 6 miles in the same direction. "You could bike" you might say, which is a fantastic idea. However, 90% of my commute is on a 55mph rural highway with minimal shoulders and zero bike lanes. It's literally a perfect candidate for a bus route and bike lanes, yet there are neither, and I am not risking my life on a bicycle next to 55MPH traffic during commuting hours.
Now tell me how I'm the problem.
But I enjoy terrible sequels...
In all seriousness, half the reason I want to watch Robocop is because of the "futuristic" Ford Taurus. I had a 1992 Taurus (second gen) for a couple years and simultaneously loved and hated that car.
I abuse the fuck out of my tasks list to help me remember shit.
As long as I can still use the J/K/L keys to play/pause and scrub, I see no issues here. People bitching just to bitch.
That said, I do not enjoy the new "everything is bigger" view on YouTube's home page that was clearly designed for mobile. But that can be fixed easily, so it's a non-issue.
Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).
Yeah, that's really the kicker, isn't it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.
It's a guaranteed death.
It depends how much shit is blocked on the network at the user level.
You should rewatch The Matrix. Any human presence above ground is met with immediate hostility and death.

The problem, though, is that VC-funded projects bite off way more than they can chew from the start and have to enshittify to keep shareholders happy at that level.
Growth for the sake of growth is a fundamentally broken concept. Tailscale provides a free service that many use. They already offer a paid support tier for companies, like other certain FOSS projects do, so why not call it good there? Grow based on actual customer needs, instead of shareholder bullshit "needs" (line must go up 🙄).
