Pretty much the usual. Make sure to keep it updated. Don't install crappy plugins. Use safe passwords.

Not just a little heavy-handed. If that's what they did, they probably picked up users that just happened to use the service from one of the countries at some previous point in time. And, at that point, the sanctions may not even hav

I liked the part about replacing the React code. Small is beautiful.

For SEPA transfers? Are you sure you're not mixing it up with SWIFT transfers?

True, but if you visit a site like http://sia.tech/ , in my opinion it gives the impression of a product ready to use today. Though if you look at their roadmap https://trello.com/b/Io1dDyuI/sia-pu

I did leave FB for awhile. But I realized that there are groups on Facebook that I do find interesting. I do get the occasional event invite on FB, sometimes personal, sometimes even work related. And, there are some people I enjoy communic

There is a proposal in the EU that would prevent "unjustified geo-blocking" but I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to become law.

I do like some of their own content. I also like their general business model and I believe (well, I hope) that the stupid geo-restrictions are results of old-school licensing and not active business decisions made by Netflix. But ofc, I wo

Sadly, the simple answer is "yes". I used to use a VPN to watch US Netflix, but they started to block known VPNs and I didn't feel like spending time on workarounds. On the other hand, downloading the latest episode of some T

Or you could just read the tags hanging on every piece in the IKEA store, the product description does say what materials they used to make it.

I'm surprised this wasn't upvoted higher. Having multiple servers without the ability to connect them in a secure network doesn't really make sense. Ofc you can DIY with VPNs but it is really a service that a cloud host shou

There's something fishy with the adblock detection at forbes.com. I have no adblocker at all in Chrome, but I can't get pass the landing page that tells me to disable the adblocker.

Yes, I'm sure he likes people, at least if they come from a few selected countries. The promo message doesn't really match the actual offer.

If you connect Chrome to your account it does get full permissions for some reason. Perhaps Chromebook-related?

Yes, that seems to be a good combo, using the same. Both AVG and Avast have really annoying upselling techniques, even when you already bought the product there are always addons they are trying to promote. Some popups and notifications ar

I guess you have never been involved in bookkeeping, where it's a real timesaver to be able to import account data.
