The only thing I did is setting up a forwarding rule to forward all mails to my actual mail address where I filter and sort the mails

Thus google knows your real email address and can use that for profiling etc.

Graphene's scope feature basically lets you share a set of pictures/videos/directory whether it's empty or not and tells the app that it has full access. For snoopy apps just create an empty directory somewhere and set the scope to that and allow access if the app is persistent. More info: https://grapheneos.org/usage#storage-scopes.

I've used these setting for re-encoding and the quality is very good. Even DVDs look better in many cases. Haven't done any B&W though. Be warned h.265 encoding is very cpu intensive e.g. with my Ryzen 7 7700x re-encoding a bluray movie takes about 90-120 mins at 1080p. Down scaling will reduce that time.

File size doesn't equal quality e.g. h265 encoded titles usually take less space than h264 encoded titles and the quality is imho better. For example from my own collection (ripped from my own discs) Dune 2021 Part 1 1080p 5.2 GB h265 re-encoded + original soundtrack + subtitles.

The 20+ GB files are typically not re-encoded bluray (AVC/VC-1) or 4k releases.

For a proper 1080p release with bluray audio expect anything from ~5GB up.

It even tells where he is and what's his profession. 🇫🇮

Ironically LG still makes good screens. Just don't ever connect their TVs to the network.

Edit: If you must connect it to a network connect it to a different VLAN (Guest network) with no other devices.

They do if the captain is waiting for the final go ahead from the tower. They can't go anywhere until everything is secure and ready to go.

The "old guy" was right. As long as all passengers aren't sitting down all buckled up the plane can't go anywhere even if the tower would allow it.

Try if any other mouse gives the same issues.

I'm using the same mouse on Tumbleweed without any problems. If it acts up on two different machines I'd say the mouse is broken.

They are not. The traffic between your phone and the tower is encrypted but beyond that it's available to anyone who can plug directly into your operator's systems e.g. the government.

It does.
