New Bedside Routine?

Apparently People are addicted

My latest video on a new bedside routine I'm trying in order to improve both my health and my security/privacy has apparently hit a nerve with people.

The comment section is full of people who just can't admit that they're addicted to their phones. I'm not sure they even watched the whole video. Check it out for yourself:

YouTube Comments Get Ugly

Hi [CORRECTED_NAME GOES HERE], part of putting myself out there on YouTube is learning how to handle negative comments. Comments about my bald head, my voice, or anything else they can think of.

This week has been extra spicy.

I published a video explaining how I'm trying to find ways to turn off my phone on a regular basis and people went bonkers.

"That's irresponsible! What about emergency calls!?"

"You actually believe the radio raves will hurt you?!"

For the record, I'm not that worried about radio waves, but man...I'm convinced that people are just so addicted to their phones that even the idea of turning it off is offensive.

As if live before cell phones was utter chaos and risk.

Either way, this new bedside routine has been interesting to try out regardless of what the comments section says.

​The EU Pretends to Care about Privacy​

The EU loves to pretend that they care about data privacy and cookie consent, but then they propose this law that would allow them to scan every message that is sent in Europe. What!?

​China's Censored AI Threat​

The buzz in the world of AI recently has been China's Deepseek, but not everything is as rosy as it seems. They've been dealing with what they call "large-scale malicious attacks".

When did you last turn off your phone?

Honestly, I don't care if you decide to adopt my new beside routine, but I am curious to know - when was the last time you turned off your phone? It might not be a bad idea to reset it every once in a while.

✌️
