To counter some of the other comments, them being based in Panama is a huge plus imo, if you're inclined to do things deemed illegal by local authorities. They have no incentive to comply with government issued search warrants or the like. Most western country-based companies are legally obligated to comply with those requests, or even store information for a number of years. With quantum-based decryption there's no saying how long even encrypted data will be safe.

Yeah the moment Proton developed a password manager I switched. Very convenient and the price ain't bad if you use all their services.

Nah, watches are for timekeeping, everything else may live in my phone so I can easily place it out of reach and ignore it.

Yeah, the rage seems to usually stem from two misunderstandings:

  1. It forces you to use Bluetooth headphones.
  2. A 3.5mm jack is cheap and trivial to build into a phone, so there's little or no reason to not include it.

You already pointed out why neither of those are legitimate reasons. For 1 you just need a simple dongle, not new headphones. For 2, because the Fairphone is modular and repairable, it's not just the 3.5mm jack but also a custom replaceable daughterboard they'd have to develop and keep in stock.

Not having a 3.5mm jack is a minor inconvenience at most, I don't get the rage either.

Proton includes cloud storage and recently started supporting automatic backup of pictures on your phone.

Or, here's a crazy idea, for the one week each year where you actually need the range you rent a Honda Civic and leave your EV at home.

The video responds much better than I could. But in short, Gary doesn't believe the housing prices to fall until the rich are taxed more. So get in soon if you can, it's only going to get worse.

Might be wrong, who knows. I'm not able to buy a house currently anyways so I'd have to wait either way.

Recently watched this interesting Gary Stevenson interview.

Not very optimistic but might give you some ideas.

Tl;dr: do everything you can to buy a house and get the rich taxed (much) more.

Didn't that turn out to be a weather balloon launched by an amateur meteorology club?

Your problem is using your personal machine for work.
