Always de-bloat your Android phone to the minimum of Google Play Store and Google Play Services/Framework. And of course anything else that is crucial. I only use Google Wallet/Pay on top of the base packages.

As always, AI is a breakthrough technology. But only with data analysis.
Biologists have fed genetic data from millions of mouse brain cells into a custom machine learning algorithm. The program delivered maps of the brain with unprecedented detail, revealing a thousand-plus novel regions.

My remaining obstacles of moving to Android:
- Choosing a good alternative to Apple Watch with the Health & Fitness app. Need it to be good for casual but serious bodybuilding, magnetic bike riding and sometimes outdoor runs, as well as passive vital recording.
- Google Pay being less private.

Iv just learnt about Nothing's Essential OS push. I'm sceptical and because of this reason, they are still my go to for Android HOWEVER, I will wait until it releases and decide on if I should move to Android.
VERY few Android skins do it for me... I love Nothing's current take on it.

For my Android move, ill keep my Apple account but will only have it signed in on my MacBook Pro and Apple TV box. I buy films and tv shows in the Apple TV app instead of subscribing to an app. I don't see phones as a form of media consumption so. And I prefer it over Amazon ability to buy them.

Speaking about AI. Feel I should make my AI stance clear. It SHOULD NOT be used for anything other than data analysis, like RTX HDR and RTX Video HDR. RTX Video Super Resolution and the base DLSS are fine, frame generation however is not.

This is the first time iv used Windows in almost a year and yep, Linux has got to the point where it is basically even with Window's game performance but with some caveats like asset streaming stuttering and such.
