That’s a really helpful episode! For Susan’s question—yes, Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 with WARP can act as a VPN alternative, but it’s not a traditional VPN. It focuses more on privacy and speed by encrypting traffic and improving DNS resolution rather than masking your IP completely like typical VPNs. As for removing duplicate music files, there are some great tools available. One efficient option is software DuplicateFilesDeleter, which is especially useful for scanning music libraries and detecting duplicates based on content, not just filenames. It's a solid way to clean up iTunes or Apple Music folders and reclaim space quickly.
Really enjoyed this episode—clear, engaging, and packed with value. The guest shared useful tips that are easy to apply. I liked the honest conversation and real-world examples. Looking forward to the next one! https://getaichatbots.com/

External Headset Amplifier: Yes, devices like the Clarity XLC3 or ClearSounds amplifier headsets help with better audio during calls. Speed Up MacBook After Update: Try resetting the PRAM, clearing out System Storage in About This Mac, and ensuring there’s enough free space. Also, check activity with Activity Monitor to close any resource-heavy apps. https://hottu.pk/
Just awesome. I'm gonna share it on my https://mytechsimply.com/ blog for my readers to get some help from your content too. Thanks
really nice review, thanks. i have the original Fold and I'd like to add a few thoughts from my experience: 1) the outer screen should be small as its intended for one-handed use, along with the slimmer width. The full height screen on the new Fold 2 actually makes that harder, 2) the price is high but you're basically getting two devices- a phone on the outside and a tablet on the inside. there are 2 screens and 2 batteries (which incidentally, allows mine to go 48+ hrs before going flat). i still enjoy using my S9+ but once you go Fold, you'll never want to go back 😉
