I don't have a solution for you but yep this is the new and "improved" widget. Nothing wrong with your phone :(.

$2500-3500-ish, versus $3500-5k new. Steeper discounts on fully optioned models.

Saved you a click. Looks to me like deprecation is not all that dissimilar to that of optioned out Macbooks.

Steel series Rival 500. Highly recommended. I got it specifically because I wanted as many buttons as possible but in an actually ergonomic to press layout vs trying to feel out the numbers in a numpad layout. https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-500

You can rest your thumb on a spot in the middle that looks like a button but isn't and you can also lock out the 2 bottom buttons below your thumb with a physical switch if they get in the way

1 more dude I skipped but I'll put here - Stuff Made Here - Insanely skilled engineer who seems to be able to make just about anything. Skipped because his thumbnails are horribly clickbaity.

Science + Technology

  • Applied Science - In depth videos about random science-y things this dude finds interesting. No clickbait, just an excited dude talking about a project he tried.

  • Atomic Frontier - A lot like Tom Scott. He's also a rare case where the video is more interesting than the title/thumbnail. Generally focused on science-y topics + has shockingly high production value considering the dude seems to be an overworked college student.

  • NileRed/NileBlue - Crazy in depth chemistry videos. Personally find NileBlue more entertaining as he tends to explore things he's not that great at.

  • Practical Engineering - Explanations of various civil engineering concepts.

Since nobody in the comments is being helpful I figured I'd do a little research for you. The TL;DR is apps can just put ads on your text selection any time they want + there's nothing you can do about it. At least on my phone, the ads are hidden in the overflow menu so I hadn't noticed them until I saw your post + checked in there. Perhaps on your device they show up because you have a wider screen?

Here's another person with a similar complaint: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/228224/how-to-edit-the-android-context-menu

Got a Sony Bravia OLED and it's set up as a dumb TV, turns on instantly + I never see the Smart TV UI, not even a logo.

What I did was decline everything at setup, hook up to the Internet via Ethernet once to update, unplug Ethernet and set it to turn on to last input.

House centipedes may look like some prehistoric creature from the depths of hell, but really they're like spiders, they're your friends - they kill and eat bugs. You just don't see them as often because they're terrified of humans and zoom away at light speed when they see you.

Google actually does this already with trade-ins, they gave me $300 for an iPhone SE worth $100 on the second hand market.

Sounds risky AF

  • If the rocket explodes, nuclear fuel could fall back to earth
  • If not de-orbited properly, the nuclear fuel could end up scattered across a country - This already happened... multiple times... in 1973 1977, 1983
  • If something goes wrong in orbit, now we have radioactive space junk... numerous accidents have already happened many times

I just use the tried and true method of unsubscribing and watching another channel
