I’ve come to the end of my patience with hotmail/live, my email is out there on a list so I get tens of spam mails a day and they almost never correctly identify them, but any new service I sign up to and it goes straight to spam.

Proton mail seems expensive for a single offering and the bundle has too many unnecessary things I don’t need. Also the lack of protocol support means you are restricted on clients you can use.

I’m pleased you posted this as I’m going to give all these a try too, but I’m becoming a pessimist and I’m thinking as soon as I’ve fully switched they will put up the price. Your personal email is becoming one of the hardest things to change.

My top priority is the ability to have individual addresses for each service I use going to a single inbox, that way if my email is leaked by a company, I can just nuke that alias, and I’ll know who leaked it. May be a good feature for you too?

Possible but the expense ruined my plans in the end… I did consider collecting broken tungsten end mills and inserts from machine shops and throwing them in molten lead, like croutons in a lead soup.

I really wanted to use Tungsten as the base ballast for a custom narrowboat, for better headroom. Other than the cost you also have the problem of tungsten’s melting point being so high you can’t pour it into a boat hull without melting through.

Just keep your phone for as long as possible and only upgrade when you absolutely have to.

There are no environmentally friendly options, but making sure your device is recycled at EOL, replacing your battery rather than your phone, and keeping it for as long as possible is the best you can do while still having the luxury of owning a phone.

Some power tips…. F12 opens and closes the console window, and in Brave browser at least it remembers your last command so you can just press the up arrow and enter to run the last command. YouTube will reset to 2.0x on each new video as that is their highest value. There are browser extensions that can do all this for you but every new extension is another possible attack vector or potentially malicious party you are adding to your digital world.

Er… I’ve only ever tried 2.x-3.x.

All work… some creators speak fast and I’m limited to 2.8, but others I have at 3.5 or 3.8.

Not pushed it further than that but if you want to try 1.7*10^308 you do you my dude!

TBH it’s well worth the 30mins… or 15mins at 2x… or if your Chrome console-fu and listening skills are high enough just 10mins with “$(‘video’).playbackRate=3.0”

These devices always remind me of these guys trying to make Solid State Refrigerant:

I suspect they fall into the same category of “neat concept but commercially useless”

Just because you want it to be hot back there doesn’t mean we all do.

The preferential treatment was that the body cams were just muted during the cover up and not all accidentally turned off for the entire encounter, not getting beaten up, tased or shot.

I mean as far as preferential treatment goes I’d take that deal, but the fact remains he was pulled out of his car, roughed up, taken to the floor and handcuffed for 18minutes for no reason when the cop should have been writing him a (dubious) ticket.

There are at least 2 cops here who should not be cops and the rest need to be retrained to ensure they step in if they see mistreatment like this again, for face being fired.

This guy I swear is looking at my internet search history… The closers most popular around here are the sprung chains in a cylinder hidden in the hinge style. Not sure they have close/latch speed options though. I need to sort out my garage and stairs fire doors, as they are currently always held open by a fire extinguisher (for irony) and a stuffed dog respectively.

She appears to be deep in the rabbit hole of far right, anti-lockdown, anti-immigrant echo chambers.

She says she copied the tweet from elsewhere, but she better remember exactly where, because if she made it up she incited several riots and thousands of crimes based on her idiocy.

Lies that have consequences like this, need to carry a punishment that suits those consequences.

I’ve put 500mm of insulation in the loft, plenty of mistakes made there.

Just managed to get an electric awning to go over the lounge window for £140, fingers crossed it all goes well and if so I’ll do the upstairs windows too.

15 more things on the list though.

I’ve been planning for the last year some eco home upgrades, and awnings on the south facing windows are high on the list. With so many possible upgrades and so little money it’s difficult to know what to do first.

… and the users

First thing I thought of.

Let’s not forget Bayer doing the same to make it impossible to prosecute them for infecting thousands of people with HIV and Hepatitis intentionally.

OK that makes sense, English is very hard to write like a native speaker, especially when phrases in your first language don’t translate well.

Not criticising, you write English better than I can write any other language, but that is why people think you are a bot. Some of the things you write just don’t flow correctly.

We just can’t tell if your first language is Cantonese or binary.

Seriously this reply looks AI generated too, maybe it’s “a you problem”?

Just wondering, is English your first language?

Anyone else see Alex the Lion from Madagascar in that cliff?
