Data hoarders/pirates are the reason “internet never forgets”. Who do you think retains those obscure pics/memes/videos?

Just shows that men are better at everything, even being women.

You can’t change your IP with your own VPN server, you have to go through a third party VPN or proxy

I run PiHole on mine

I hope SkyUI is coming too. The UI/UX in this game is awful.

I’ll quit YouTube before I watch ads.

Long time ago, already downloading it

I think what you’re doing is fine, in fact, it’s one of the Microsoft recommended methods of doing it.

What are you trying to accomplish? Hide/anonymize your Internet/torrenting activity? Or access your LAN devices from the Internet? Because those are two different use cases for VPN. One requires paying a third party provider, the other - hosting a VPN server on your network.

Not cool, bro, it’s against the pirate code to cheat at multiplayer video games.

Site is dead

I use ecobee and block it from the Internet. Works great with Home Assistant via Homekit.

It’s never enough, soon they’re going to show ads even to you, a paying customer. It’s happening to some streaming providers already, it’s coming to YouTube too, mark my words. Online streaming is turning into cable.

You’re comparing apples and oranges, reverse proxy and VPN serve two different purposes.

Microsoft is shoving Teams down everyone’s throats harder than, I don’t know what. Teams is just awful, it’s slow, clunky, and a piece of shit that nobody asked for.

No, the best decision would be if they allowed us to disable shorts.

None of my mine come as PDF attachments, it’s always “click here to see your statement” which goes through the login process to the company’s portal. I get it, they think they’re doing it for security. But email is no less secure than paper mail and they send paper statements in regular mail, so why not email?

Yeah, but you have to log in to the company’s portal and click through their menus to get the PDFs. I wish eBill/eStatements would mean sending them over email, that would be easy to set up an automated way to grab them and file them.

Sending me an email notice that eBill is available is NOT useful at all, it’s only a little more convenient than paper bills

legitimate (non spam) bulk email

I don’t think there’s such a thing, all bulk emails is spam to me as a user.

None.

Have a good backup strategy and nuke the OS/restore data from backup when needed.

I wouldn’t trust any antivirus to clean everything properly after my machine has been infected.
