Kids are smart. Horny teenagers even more so. They will find loopholes or ways to circumvent these kind of things - speaking from experience. At age 13 I installed a keylogger on my PC to get the password for a parental control software my parents installed. Roughly one year later I also exploited a vulnerability in iOS 4 that allowed me to see the parental controls password in plaintext so I could re-enable Safari.
Doesn’t that kind of beat the purpose? The device can just store telemetric data and send them in batches whenever you connect it.
Earlier this year I signed up as a member to a professional organization that also grants IT-related certifications… I couldn’t figure out why the account registration wouldn’t let me proceed, until I typed a super short password instead.
Lol, I often get a lot of confirmations on if my email address is right whenever I am in contact with any customer service… I use a catch-all on lastname[dot]com.
“Is your email really ‘nameofservice@lastname•com’?”
I knew that PTio had some kind of controversy, but was not aware it was that bad.

you okay?
I either buy CDs (and rip 'em to .FLAC files) or just purchase the files from the artist’s own Bandcamp, because I hate subscription services. More money to the people making the music as well.
I’d say Fairphone is less worse than e.g. Samsung or other big companies from a privacy perspective. Their phones are also promised long support cycle, meaning software updates as well as replacement parts, so buying used should be more viable than other brands. Although I believe they might be difficult to find if you’re not in Europe.
Does ProtonVPN offer port forwarding?
You would not have to do that if you just use an email provider that allows custom domains. Probably will have to pay up though.
I’ve heard that self-hosting your own email server is almost always a bad idea as it can/will get blacklisted by sites.
For email, I recommend purchasing your own domain name and finding a provider that allows the use own your own domain (like Proton or Tutanota). A catch-all function is also good for making unique addresses per service, so you’re mostly protected from data leaks and spam. Like lemmy@yourdomain.tld or clothingstore1@yourdomain.tld
Will make switching email providers much easier when you don’t have to update your address to tens or hundreds of services you’ve registered on.
No worries, fellow human on the internet - couldn’t resist making a joke.
Nor does triple-commenting.
Somehow I feel like they are going to have a desktop application for this drive service faster than Proton will.
Are there any better alternatives for use with cloud storage?
Enabling “show content for collapsed comments” helps as only the child comments will collapse upon tapping.
