Cat names are the same, have you seen Asteroid Destroyer?

What is the most privacy focussed way to register a domain these days?

last time I did it was about 20 years ago and they pretty much just put your home address and telephone number in a Whois lookup.

I’ve come to the end of my patience with hotmail/live, my email is out there on a list so I get tens of spam mails a day and they almost never correctly identify them, but any new service I sign up to and it goes straight to spam.

Proton mail seems expensive for a single offering and the bundle has too many unnecessary things I don’t need. Also the lack of protocol support means you are restricted on clients you can use.

I’m pleased you posted this as I’m going to give all these a try too, but I’m becoming a pessimist and I’m thinking as soon as I’ve fully switched they will put up the price. Your personal email is becoming one of the hardest things to change.

My top priority is the ability to have individual addresses for each service I use going to a single inbox, that way if my email is leaked by a company, I can just nuke that alias, and I’ll know who leaked it. May be a good feature for you too?

Another unfortunate truth is that the Dildo of Consequence rarely comes lubed.

I was just about to suggest GrayJay but then I remembered it’s an Android app.

Possible but the expense ruined my plans in the end… I did consider collecting broken tungsten end mills and inserts from machine shops and throwing them in molten lead, like croutons in a lead soup.

I really wanted to use Tungsten as the base ballast for a custom narrowboat, for better headroom. Other than the cost you also have the problem of tungsten’s melting point being so high you can’t pour it into a boat hull without melting through.

Credit card companies know where you are spending your money, but not what you are buying.

They have been selling your data but it’s less valuable in the world of store apps and online stores where every search and purchase is linked to your email. Still worth opting out of any “data sharing” options your Credit Card company has though.

It’s not “a set of people” anymore it’s you, and there is always more data.

Buy some doughnuts for the office… your health insurance just went up.

You buy a new car which has fancy connected features, but now it sells your driving safety score to your car insurance company.

Buy a vegan ready meal, both vegan food companies and the meat industry compete for your business, you might get a few discounts, but your free will is being influenced.

The difference is when credit cards were introduced their business model was charging customers interest and businesses fees.

Now the business model is making customer profiles to sell to advertisers, insurance companies and anyone else who is willing to buy the data. I don’t want every business I use to be collecting all this information.

I guess you don’t read usernames

Just another person trying to belittle the passion of some guy on the internet.

This article is over 2 years old, so not exactly new news.

Just keep your phone for as long as possible and only upgrade when you absolutely have to.

There are no environmentally friendly options, but making sure your device is recycled at EOL, replacing your battery rather than your phone, and keeping it for as long as possible is the best you can do while still having the luxury of owning a phone.

I’m going to get my deposit back for the CT, I still think it’s cool but I don’t think it will ever be sold in Europe and Musk has just ruined the reputation of Tesla. I’m also looking for a home battery and although the Powerwall 3 looks great, I’m going to try and find an alternative, just because of Elon.

You’re right I should have said “”accidentally””

If you overclock it and it starts to crash Intel say “sorry warranty void”, if Intel accidentally overclock it and drastically reduce its life “…”

I’ve not kept up to date with this but wasn’t the problem that as soon as you run these CPUs they are getting permanently damaged? Surely they have to recall them?

The preferential treatment was that the body cams were just muted during the cover up and not all accidentally turned off for the entire encounter, not getting beaten up, tased or shot.

I mean as far as preferential treatment goes I’d take that deal, but the fact remains he was pulled out of his car, roughed up, taken to the floor and handcuffed for 18minutes for no reason when the cop should have been writing him a (dubious) ticket.

There are at least 2 cops here who should not be cops and the rest need to be retrained to ensure they step in if they see mistreatment like this again, for face being fired.

Ooh not sure we have those in the UK, we do have San Francisco Bay coffee beans which are good but Lavazza is smoother. I did wonder if the San Fran was just for us in Europe so we had “Exotic American” coffee.

I’m an advocate for separate grinder and espresso machines, just seems like an unnecessary complication, and the combo machines seem to take up more space than both the dedicated ones.

If you are looking at the lower end of the market, spare parts and repairability are often nonexistent or afterthoughts at best. If combo machine breaks you now have to get another combo or buy the separates, and even the best value combo is more $ than comparable separates.
