Who says the ISP isn’t blocking ports via a firewall?

I thought it was common practice for ISPs to block certain ports for residential connections?

Like most people in the western world (and indeed likely in most of the world) do.

I’m going to have to see a source for this claim.

I know the person has merit in their argument when they go on the personal attack. 👍

Eradicating personal vehicles is not feasible.

Not owning a personal vehicle is only okay if you live in the heart of a city and don’t go outside of that little bubble. All other scenarios massively benefit from a personal vehicle; even going from one side of a city to another.

It really whips the llama’s ass

Thanks

So what’s the recommended replacement?

I will not go back to the stock launcher because they’re dog water.

Steven management?

Surprised the title didn’t say, “Apple slammed for ear pods that are designed to die”.

Gluing components together so it’s not easy/impossible to repair is different to ‘designing to die’. In my opinion designed to die suggests the ear pods will die prematurely due to intentional design decisions. Gluing components together just means that when the ear pods die, then they cannot be brought back to life and you have to replace them.

Your OS doesn’t matter when picking a VPN provider.

Others have mentioned plenty of good options.

I wish he didn’t ramble as much as he does. Most of his videos could be a quarter of the length.

When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.

One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.

I have in this past month or so on my computer. I saw it on a friend’s computer 2-3 months ago too.

Windows 10 does the exact same thing these days. I have no idea of the frequency on Windows 10 but I’ve seen it.

I’m impressed at the balanced conversations in this submission. People who are both for and against Windows and Linux. As I remember, it felt like everyone was heavily biased towards Linux and hated everything about Windows 6 months ago.

WizFile does a good job at it too. It works differently though; WizFile just looks at your partition table of the selected drive/directory. It’s super fast in all aspects but it’s only a single drive/directory at a time. I think Everything is slow to index everything but is super fast when searching and works across multiple drives/directories

WizFile is made by the same people who make WizTree and is essentially the same program, but instead of visually showing you the disk, it allows you to search.

And you can rename the labels. Or remove them completely and just rely on the app icons.

There are only about 2000 exit nodes. I wonder how many are running on substantial hardware and internet connections.

I’m interested in why people have hyped him up to be smart?

I’ve watched a few podcasts with Elon as the guest and he comes across as average as an average person can be.

The only thing I’ve seen is that he jumps at opportunities he believes will be profitable, and has leveraged what he has against partners and adversaries for his own personal gain.

Apparently the files were never deleted. The issue was something failed with a temp profile during the update process for some users. I don’t care enough to read on it further. That’s good enough in my opinion and not a reason to avoid Windows.

I haven’t experienced the missing files issue on any of the machines I use, nor have the people I know. I guess the missing files thing is when some people set up their directories in a specific unusual way.

On a couple of machines my personal directories are in the default locations and on one machine there on a separate drive.
