I think why there are more SUVs out there is because they fall into a category that is heavily subsidised. So people choose it more in the US because the alternatives are few and far between.

Yet at the same time, there are people who cannot afford actually good products, are forced to buy fresh due to planned obsolescence or simply ate unable to buy anything environmentally friendly because there are no products that is/does that. Companies themselves could easily produce more environmentally friendly products, yet don't because it's cheaper and thus better for the profit margins.

The fault and responsibility lies at least as much with companies as it does with consumers/customers, if not more.

My guess was that it was the updates that did the thing. I think I remember there being an issue up to Win 7 where malicious parties could advertise malware as available updates (under win7 this was only a problem if you didn't let it select and download manually).

Maybe SteamOS wouldn't work, but maybe something like Debian or Linux Mint. Especially Debian is designed with a lot of backwards compatibility, even though it is very slow at adopting new updates for software (that are not security relevant).

I think the biggest issue is that, at least quite a few years back, is that the methods of cryogenically preserve the bodies without ice crystals forming cause the arteries to weaken due to the chemicals used instead of blood. So if they were to thaw the body they would need a way to completely replace every artery in the body, or else they will rupture everywhere inside the body once they revive it. So basically the body is doomed to be unusable.

Very topical, at least here in Germany. Man, I'd kill for the end of this heatwave.

I mean, from what I've seen, a lot of companies already use wireguard as its base layer, so if this is not secure, the VPN service itself will not be. They could simply offer the user to create a wireguard config and download that, like Mullvad does, which not only would allow users to skip the app, but also allow users to use VPNs only with certain networks and not all, and even allow tunneling if the end user uses a dedicated firewall. That way you could use certain VPN connections for certain addresses/pools and others for other, or even circumvent it in very niche cases, if need be.

Honestly, I think, despite its massive amount of failures, Deutsche Bahn did a massive service with its app, as it doesn't only show German train/tram/bus connection, but also does the same with other EU connections, with also often allowing you to buy it in the app as well.

Hey, that's not true!

Tap for spoilerYou also run "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" on step 2.

Even earlier than that there was the killbind. Nothing beats your teammate or opponent finding you in an unfortunate or unexpected moment, taunting as you killbind shortly before they killbind themselves.

That's why I enjoyed TF2 for such a long time. While teamwork will always give you an advantage in matches, you will nearly never find it on public matches and people just do their own thing, and occasionally see a push forming and join in to get further. It also helps that the TTK in TF2 is much longer than in other team based multiplayer games, and you spawn back into it within 10 seconds or so.

Sadly there are so few games that follow that formula of goofy fun and rather just try to make games that are "strategic" or "competitive", which sucks majorly.

I'm not sure about the Proton thing, but yeah, Mailbox sets up PGP for you at server-level, which means they are still unencrypted on the server but will always be sent encrypted.

The initial mode is that they will try to negotiate whether PGP is supported by the other side, with you having the option to always use it for the price of the opposite side having to encrypt them.

You can even enforce it on a case by case basis by adding "secure." To the mailbox.org domain, however I don't know if that is also possible when using your own domain.
