If they offer IMAP, they would also need to decrypt your data on their side, which I'm happy they go to lenghts to avoid. This is a case of Proton sacrificing convenience for privacy. If the former is more important for you than the la

Having traveled through large parts of Europe by train before ever visiting the UK, I can only say that UK train travel isn't beginner friendly.

In my opinion XPS is about size and to an extent performance, but not better (build) quality. In my experience both the Latitude and Precision series have had fewer hardware issues despite being more prevalent, where only part of the explan

I can't see the point in paying anyone this much, no matter what they do.

I thought so too, but then I started keeping a diary. I also stopped, as the past 20 months really have been extraordinarily busy. Anyway, if you write stuff down, it turns out you mostly just forget most of what you did, and tend to misrem

When I had to go through that about 7-8 years ago, actually on behalf of a boss of mine who couldn't be bothered sitting through the whole thing, it took a full 15 minutes. I will continue to bring it up when I can, no matter if they c

I prefer Mint Cinnamon, which feels like a better looking and more polished Ubuntu with saner defaults.

Bitwarden has a hotkey to invoke autofill on a page. Not sure how much safer it actually is, but at least it feels like I'm in control.

In my opinion REBOL was a great idea, and I also wrote quite a few extremely terse but readable inhouse apps before REBOL v2 development completely halted, and a useable v3 never materialized. As proprietary payware, it didn't really s

Great idea! Just a heads up - the original power supply tends to give off higher voltages the older it gets, so make sure to check the 5V rail, or better, get an aftermarket PSU. They use less electricity, don't run blazing hot, and wo

Still have my doubled C64 floppies, of which some were horribly scarred by the big blunt scissors I started out with. You could also convert Amiga floppies from single to double density by adding a hole, giving you 1760kB. I didn't hav

If you have flour, and haven't had the chance before, this is the perfect time to get a sourdough starter going. And don't throw away the discard/leftover, it can be used as a base for all kinds of stuff, from pancakes to cup

By switching to Amazon, I believe you can reduce the monthly $3.75 down to $0.45, which hopefully isn't enough to break your bank.

Fond memories! Eventually did the same on my C64 floppies, but only after having destroyed quite a few disks using my mom's blunt, giant scissors. Used a soldering iron on my 3.5" disks, with a scalpel to take care of the excess p

If you're a beginner, Todd McLeod's Golang video course is absolutely fantastic. If you're already familiar with a language or two, you'll probably want to run it at 1.5-2x speed: https://greatercommons.com&#x
