For 2fa, I highly recommend 2fas – it is free, open source, available for web and mobile, and it’s interface is smart. Lots of 2fa apps are stupid, Google auth included. Authy is especially stupid. Bitwarden also does 2fa, and it’s super convenient because it adds the code directly to the clipboard usually.
For notes, consider obsidian.
Not an app, but you could get a usb-c to HDMI converter and then plug your phone into the HDMI port on your TV
Chromebooks have a special bios, it works with a chip on the motherboard to detect if chromeos is running or if some unverified os is running. If chromeos isn’t running, it displays a warning message on boot. This behavior cannot be disabled.
You can; however it will always show a message that leaves you a keypress away from nuking your system on boot
I still use Firefox; their bullshit is less egregious than Chrome’s and they are Chrome’s only challenger. The ai features don’t even come in to play unless you actually choose to use them.
