I did notice that my TF apps are not working either on my IOS or my Google Pixel phone.

I have been test driving a cheap little laptop, "as delivered". This thing is a corporate marketing and surveillance tool. Don't know how people tolerate these things. Filter, filter, filter.

I don't. I strip off the operating system, usually Windows, and install a Linux distro.

This one is a Chromebook. It's a nice little $150 internet appliance but a quick glance makes it look a BIOS modification is necessary to run Linux. Might try developer mode to modify the hosts file.

Yep, Chromebooks don't take Linux to easily. I've heard tells of people installing Android systems on them. I haven't a clue how well that works. I tried an Android desktop distro about 7 years ago, it didn't work out at all.
