Watch out for cheap USB chargers. They can be a safety risk. Google "cheap usb charger teardown". For example http://www.righto.com/2012/10/a-dozen-usb-chargers-in-lab-ap...

Italy is not particularly cheap, unfortunately. Beautiful place, though!

On youtube one can adBlock & NoScript & CookieBlock everything yet still download video with http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/ . Some porn sites can be downloaded with http://jdownloader.org/ You will need the uncrippled: Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8... http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce-...

Surely if your going down that route youtube-dl is easier?

gPphX on Oct 22, 2015 | | | [–]

easier than youtube-dl :

adBlock & NoScript & CookieBlock are essential malware protection anyway, and just needs tweaks for youtube.

flashvideodownloader is just an firefox addon. then you can visit youtube without much tracking.

flashvideodownloader probably uses youtube-dl (without any CLI-typing).

P0rn sites, with jdownloader & Java & Unlimited Strength Cryptography is less easy

(edit: added : easier than youtube-dl)
