The recent main one seemed to be no longer promising to not sell user data, but it’s been a culmination of little things.

Personally I’ve been kind of miffed since they decided to use the experiments feature to be paid to shill for the Mr. Robot tv show, including in their enterprise release, making people think they got hacked. But that was years ago and forgotten.

Last year, the police department of the southern state of Tamil Nadu had sought to block Proton Mail after the email service was found to have been used for sending hoax bomb threats to local schools. The Indian government’s IT ministry reportedly notified internet providers to block Proton Mail at the request of law enforcement. However, the Swiss federal authorities intervened to prevent the blocking of Proton Mail taking effect.

Oh.

at the moment not enough to cause panic buying or draw significant media attention. Select goods have begun to creep up in price, and freight industry reports show projected decreases in demand, but not really seeing it yet.

Thank you for the info! I like your username.

There will be some additional time and resources required to read and write encrypted data, even if minor.

Previous versions of Windows only permitted drive encryption in their premium tiers, and it seems like the current one possibly requires a TPM chip for it, so a lot of hardware won’t even support it. So basically greed or greed.

For what it’s worth it’s not always a default with Linux installations either. There’s a usually minor performance hit, though I can’t say it ever bothered me. Personally I have less fear of bad actors obtaining physical access than I do myself breaking something catastrophically and losing my access, so I don’t use it now.

It’s kind of crazy to think someone will read all of it too. Probably.

So the answer is, “no”, but isn’t that obvious? That’s not much of an explanation really. While pithy it’s not very useful.

As others have pointed out, some parts of the West do currently practice polygamy, or have in the past, but the reasons why it’s largely frowned upon aren’t explained in this response.

It sounds like you were a bad kid, but maybe you won’t necessarily be a bad adult given this introspection. Something to bear in mind is that kids’ brains and minds aren’t entirely developed, often causing that kind of bad behavior- maturity is a real thing, and it sounds like you’ve begun developing it.

I think most people have things they regret from childhood and teenage years. I suppose the key is to be self aware and try to live in line with who you want to be as an adult.

Haven’t had to use one in years.

The one time I’ve ever had a lucid dream I decided to try flying. It worked out pretty well so I visited a wizard and learned to shoot fireballs. Sadly I woke up shortly afterward.

I’ve managed to have restful sleep at 78 with two fans blasting me, plus a window open to let in the relatively cooler night air. It’s doable, but the body takes time to adjust. Humidity can be a big factor.

65 in winter is kind of understandable, since you could layer up or heat a selected space or yourself easier.

My usual comfy indoor ranges would be 70 daytime, 68 night for winter, then 75 throughout in the summer.

Maybe there’s a place for this with air ambulances or something, but in a crowded city I only see this integrating into buildings or the people below.

It might be easier near the coast, but opening up windows during times of day where you can catch a breeze might help with the heat the house soaks up. Insect netting on windows may make this a more tolerable option.

Beyond this, the high ceilings in older style homes seemed to make things feel cooler, but I can’t really confirm that. A lot of design aspects of older homes were meant to deal with heat, so it might not be trendy but works. I’ve seen one place with a sizeable indoor pond/pool in the middle of the ground floor, supposedly inspired by courtyard transpiration. The guy was an odd engineer… no idea about longevity but it did stay cool in that place.

Plants to cut down on sunlight while giving you something nice to look at seems good. Maybe planters for vegetables etc on a flat roof if it’s possible.

Yes, because other road users aren’t always paying full attention, or may not be familiar with the lanes. This helps them figure out what I’m going to do, hopefully reducing the chance of an accident.

As far as Google knows I was born on 1/1/1901

What a terrible offer. Grab a modem yourself for $50 and schedule in two hours every one to two years to save hundreds to thousands instead.

I’ve seen this during boarding in the UK and US so far. Both times it was like a self service section at a grocery store- errors half the time holding up people and the gate agents having to fix the issue, scan themselves, or best of all, just go “yeah go ahead” without scanning anything.

Hopefully it will improve in time.

I think just a card and cash is appropriate for someone you don’t really know, and probably less than $100 unless you’re both rich.
