  • Outside of games, you could use it in your desktop or laptop as a drive for different things. On my Mac, I use a 512GB for torrents instead of having it write to the SSD. I also have one that the Photos.app saves the Local iCloud Photo Library to.

    Likewise, if any of your media apps let you set a default location, you can take advantage of it and have the apps and programs save content there, I do this for DVDs and Blu-Rays I get to have a digital copy.

    As an ad blocker/tracker blocker, AdGuard works really well.

    They also have a “browsing security filter” which may be of concern to some people. This filter, similar to smart screen and Google Safe Browsing, will check to make sure websites aren’t in a list.

    However, if you have it on, they have a section you can opt in (I think it is opt in) to send extra data to help with the security filter.

    That telemetry may seem like too much for some people, but I think it’s the only thing in AdGuard products that collects data, and even then, it’s not for making the filter better and helping its development, not for selling data.

    edit two weeks later: Fixed what I meant to say, thankfully people knew what I meant and upvoted.
