Techlore - Unsubscribe (lemmy.sdf.org)

After their shameless Synology shilling a couple of weeks ago, today Techlore is trying to sell me Proton Pass.

Is Proton Pass a bad password manager? I don't know. It seems okay, but I have no opinion.

What I do know is that Techlore is affiliated with Proton, which makes their newest 10-minute video - in which they reveal the affiliation only at the last minute - 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

Unfortunately, In the business they're in, the merest hint of a bias kind of invalidates any advice they give. As the saying goes, when you point out other people's body odor, you'd better make sure you took a shower yourself.

better "security" if I remember correctly

Not sure if I buy that explanation, it's rough to say AOSP is more secure then graphene.

If they had said trusting Google is necessary anyway, so you might as well trust them for the software and the hardware, and not introduce any extra parties. That's a reasonable thing to say. At least that would be an interesting and defensible argument.
