The bar for losing your job as a congress person or any public servant for corruption should be way lower than the bar for being sent to prison.

There’s “knowing how” and there’s having your mobile constantly within arms reach.

Also, her obvious corruption. Her and her husband make waaaaaaaay above average on the stock market due to her insider knowledge. But I’m sure that never affects her policy positions.

Lamarckian evolution mixed with racism, wow. I’m not surprised.

Current user of Niagara here, it’s just a unique option. You have favorites on a scrollable list (one app per line) and then you can scroll down an alphabetical list of all apps by letter on the side. Plus the optional subscription is $5 a year, which is actually reasonable in my opinion.

Police prefer that criminal cases are resolved by compelling a confession. If a woman is told by the police they have her period data, most people would crack in that situation. Whether it holds up in court is mostly irrelevant.

It should go without saying, but never talk to police and if you’re being interviewed, insist on invoking your 6th amendment right to an attorney and your 5th amendment right to remain silent. And don’t engage with anything the police say.

Yes, GoDaddy is a very popular hosting company. I would do a short trial on any VPN before committing to a longer contract. It is possible that the sites you visit won’t block your geographically local airvpn servers. Web hosting companies treat different servers from the same VPN differently.

Maybe I just go to different sites than you, but I run into problems accessing web sites from AirVPN fairly often. Its also possible that the AirVPN servers that you use are not blocked like they are for mine (Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, etc).

Like I said above, the best thing is to try any VPN service for a few days or a week to see whether anything annoying happens in your use case before jumping into a long term contract.

I don’t know really anything about network setup, but as far as I know, your ISP should have nothing to do with it while you use a VPN.

All I had to do was change the settings on the AirVPN account on their website (logged in) and add the port to my qbittorrent settings. This is unrelated, but I also added a killswitch in qbittorrent advanced settings that stops torrenting if my vpn connection fails. After that, I went to a site like https://canyouseeme.org/ and verified my port forwarding was set up properly.

I never had to touch my router or ISP settings. My configuration is running the VPN from each device. It is also possible to set up your VPN directly on the router. That way, all traffic on the home network is through the VPN.

I use AirVPN. It’s reliable and I like their vpn client Eddie, but there are a few things you should know. Google blocks traffic from all of their Dallas servers, about 20% of their us based servers. Also, a few web hosting companies block AirVPN traffic, at least on the servers I use, including GoDaddy. I can’t access the Linux Mint forums while on AirVPN either. Every day or two I have to disable the VPN to access a site, which defeats the purpose, IMO.

One good thing about AirVPN is that they have sales often. But I would try a week now before committing. Reliability has been top notch and they have a lot of servers.

Edit: I use port forwarding for bittorrent and it was easy to set up. You log in on their website and choose a port to forward for your account. I’m honestly a novice at networking and I figured it out using these instructions.

A US state has already subpoenaed Facebook for Messenger texts to prove an abortion case. It’s not speculative.

You can easily change that setting and it’s one of the first most basic things I do with a new browser.

That’s not a realistic worry for the world’s most used browser platform. There are three Billion with a B Chrome users. 3,000,000,000

Even if 99% of users disabled telemetry they would still have a telemetry base of 30 million. And I would guess it’s closer to 90% telemetry enabled right now since most people do not change browser defaults.

I was going to suggest Firefox, but TIL Apple doesn’t allow non-safari-based browsers and all code must ship through the app store and that’s why Firefox iOS doesn’t have extension support like it has on Android. Wild.

Firefox has multi-account containers and chrome does not. That (mozilla-created) extension is their killer app for me.
