I managed to watch half of the video because I couldn’t stand the cringe, but anyhow.
If you want privacy, you can use Google Chrome, but you need to install Group Policies and adjust them. Brave is good but it has a lot of bloatware, which can be also disabled by group policies! Firefox, default search engine is Google, and a lot of options are hidden in group policies (shocking x2) and about:config.
I won’t use a Pixel phone because its hardware and camera sucks donkey balls. Imagine paying 1k for a phone and you get picture quality of a calculator. If GrapheneOS could be installed on Samsung Sxx Ultra series, I would definitely buy and install it, but nope. I am stuck with my iPhone xx Pro Max.
Search engines. DDG is not bad, Brave is not bad, but Google still shows better results. Use adblockers then? Block Google ad domains? Problem solved.
Vaultwarden is good, but you need to maintain it yourself. Also you need BW premium sub if I remember correct. I am with 1Password Family at this one. Sorry but no other password managers can match it.
For note taking, there is nothing beats Onenote. I searched for a long time, but there is nothing.
For media files, sorry but I am happy with Google Photos. I want my photos and videos to be backed up automatically (looking at you Proton and Ente!) That is the point of it.
For AI, I am pretty sure he has no idea.
