Guy 1: I need a new computer soon, I think I'm gonna get the new Mac Studio
Guy 2: Bruh why
Guy 1: Why not?
Guy 2: Because ACAB man! Just build a custom PC, it's a better bang for your buck and plus it just looks more cooler.
Guy 1: But I'm used to MacOS
Guy 2: I'll turn it into a hackintosh for you

RARBG is a torrenting site that was shut down by the owners on May 31, 2023.
It was hands down objectively one of the best torrenting site for movies. They had super high quality rips that you just couldn't find elsewhere (i.e. 20GB+ file sizes). Overall, they did many things right that other torrent sites simply lacked, such as introducing H.265 formats, listing the movie metadata on the torrent page, or a conveniently-placed section of all the latest popular movies.
The only thing that won't be missed is those rowdy discussion threads. It was like a circlejerk for hundreds of cis-males (likely 20s to early 40s) to vent their hatred towards women, minorities and everything else they perceive as woke. Literally every comment on every damn movie torrent has to have someone criticizing how woke a movie is, or some satirical joke. And if someone has an opinion that goes against the RARBG hivemind, people start dogpiling on them. It's like 4chan.
Moderation was also wack AF. I've had a total of five router changes these past 5 years, and for every new IP address I've been promptly banned from the comments for just expressing an opinion about the comments. And yet they just let the dozens of other toxic, distasteful commenters run amok.

The last message from the site owners, as seen on RARBG.to, explaining the reason behind the shut down:
"Hello guys,
We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site.
The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications,
others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all.
Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES.
Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard.
Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare.
Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket.
After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it.
We are sorry :(
Bye"

AliExpress is a very popular online global shopping platform based in China. It is known for having literally anything and everything you could ever possibly think about buying. It's also a great place to discover new wacky stuff that you never ever knew existed.
The great thing about AliExpress is that the prices are dirt cheap, but the products are not necessarily. You can find many above-average quality items from well-known Chinese brands that you simply cannot find on similar platforms like Wish.com or even eBay. And to be fair, while AliExpress does contain its fair share of low quality trash, the range of products are so diverse and plentiful that low quality items stick out like a sore thumb. Like a real store, AliExpress often curates its selection, moving the best quality items to the top of the page.
People may be doubtful of the shipping times, but honestly it's not that bad. The great thing is that the majority of items on Aliexpress (at least items that cost over $6) offer fast shipping methods such as ePacket or AliExpress Standard Shipping, which takes 2-4 weeks to arrive. And even with the economical methods it'll arrive sooner than you think.
Overall AliExpress is a much more elaborate and sophisticated version of wish.com in every way. If you plan to save a lot of money but also want decent quality, AliExpress is the way to go.

1) "Dammit my PC is running so slow, I really need to upgrade the RAM"
2) "People often use PC language when referring to people with disabilities"
3) "Don't forget to include your P.C. in the address so the package can be delivered correctly"
4) "I'll catch up with you later, man. Pc!"

A 3rd party YouTube app you use to get all YouTube Premium features for free. It was discontinued officially on March 2022 for legal reasons. Launched initially as a root-based "YouTube hack" for Android devices in 2017, Vanced has seen a massive cult following over the years. Thankfully, many alternatives and replicas of Vanced now exist, the most notable and popular one being ReVanced. Fair warning though, the community surrounding ReVanced seems quite like a circlejerk and is hostile to anyone that doesn't put the project nor its devs on a pedestal.
For Android users there are many ways to get Re-Vanced, which can be a bit confusing (I certainly was). To my knowledge there are only three ways:
▸ First way is to install both ReVanced and MicroG from an apk. You will then be able to use ReVanced as a separate app.
▸ Second way is only for rooted Android devices, which is a magisk module that modifies the existing YouTube app into ReVanced (the "YouTube hack").
▸ A third way—which is what most would recommend—is ReVanced manager. It's sorta like a combination of the first two methods. Within the manager you can either choose to install ReVanced as a separate app, or modify the existing YouTube app for root-privileged users.
Tl;dr 1st is quick and dirty. 2nd is most convenient for rooted users. 3rd is official and has the best of both worlds.
First two are obtained from an unofficial website called revanced.io, the 3rd is obtained from official GitHub.
I did the 2nd way because I was rooted and didn't care for a separate YT or manager app. Don't listen to anyone who says not to try the unofficial site and its methods, they work perfectly. Enough of that "mAlwArE" fearmongering BS. And to be fair, revanced.io is probably the most 'official' unofficial site out there for ReVanced. I would be cautious of other sites though.
