In search for a good VPN
  • I'd only recommend Proton if a) you're already paying for their suite or b) you're not using Linux. Otherwise, Mullvad is the way to go IMO.

    Introducing Proton Wallet – a safer way to hold Bitcoin
  • Please stop releasing new products and finish the ones you've got. I've been waiting for feature parity on the Linux VPN client since like 5 product launches ago...

    Working with MPI on a hit and run with evidence
  • MPI is notoriously bad for this sort of thing. All you can really do is stay on their case. I called them daily for over a month once before they finally got sick of me and did something.

    Say what you will about private insurance, at least this sort of thing is handled better.

    Alienware AW420K or Razer BlackWidow V3
  • My 2¢: My Razer V3 Pro (wireless) has very good RGB support on Linux compared to other brands. My volume knob never worked correctly and it is apparently a common issue. Spraying some electronics cleaner in there now and then can fix it, but it randomly changes volume levels and barely responds when actually rotated. A few keys also have sporadic issues with double inputs. Overall, can't recommend.

    I'm not a Razer hater, I've used their mice for years without issue; but this keyboard I would not replace with another Razer.

    Cash transactions are way down. These advocates say the feds need to do something
  • Interac AFAIK used to be a nonprofit, but few years back became a for profit corporation. While I'm happy for the option, I'd stick with paper/metal where possible if CCs weren't a thing.

    Cash transactions are way down. These advocates say the feds need to do something
  • Credit cards are the issue for me. An unnecessary third party skimming money (not to mention data) out of every transaction we make.

    I can't NOT use them though, since the cash back can be too good to pass up. If credit cards were regulated into irrelevance I'd be almost 100% on cash.

    Should I permanently leave Israel?
  • Mainly this, alongside a cost of living crisis not unique to Canada. Other concern is there is some animous towards immigrants as poor immigration policy is a part of why housing is where it is. Sadly, I'm not sure I'd feel welcome as an immigrant in Canada right now (perhaps more so for Indian/Pakistani immigrants, but still).

    Valve launches Proton 9.0 with improved game compatibility and more - KitGuru
  • That's weird - I've been playing for years with zero issues. The odd crash on startup. Only downside is I can't log into my Xbox account.

    Are your crashes random, or caused by anything specific?

    Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • Hello, I am not interested in buying your house. But I would like to use your restroom, dig through your magazines, rearrange your shelves, and handle your food products in an unsanitary manner.

    HA! NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS!

    No idea what season, but I'm pretty sure this immediately follows "whoa, windows! I don't think I can afford this place."

  • Everyday I miss my blackberries - people say autocorrect is sogood nowadays but I have never seen it. Typing on a screen consisntely results inerrosraiwhenevrt I'm texting someone. I always slid out the keyboard on my Priv when I had something important or precise to type out.

    This paragraph was typed relying solely on my autocorrect to fix any mistakes .
