If they don't care, why should you? They found a deal that seems to be ok for them. To get them to change providers, you need to suggest one that would be a better value, and to be honest, I don't think you can find one.

Tell me you haven't run a large email server without telling me. There's a reason even large corporates that can easily afford the resources to run email their email themselves decide against it. There are a handful of good provid

Even when they don't, it doesn't matter. Email wasn't designed for privacy or security, and can't accommodate those. Lucky for us, we now have much better tools for those use cases, so we don't need to clumsily try

It can be summarized that the romanticized ideal of Email is long gone, if it ever existed. Today email is a way for others, mostly automations, to send you notifications. Once you realize this, the "just keep whatever I have right now

You don't need his level of skill to open a car door (you attack the latching mechanism, not the barrel itself).

It's not ease, it's efficiency: opening a locked car door is 1-2 minutes for an experienced person. Smashing the window is 2 seconds (though you also need some experience, as modern car side windows are also laminated).

Being outside the US doesn’t shield you from it. And worse, it is harder for the American government to eavesdrop on US soil than it is outside America. Of course, if a national spying apparatus is after you, regardless of the nation, prett

Your ideas on nationality are 200+ years out of date. Yet shoving and pushing you into the modern world isn’t something for randos on the internet to do, but on yourself. Good luck!

You must’ve slept through both civics and history classes. The 14th amendment to the US constitution grants unconditional (and thus, irrevocable) citizenship jos soli. Naturalization indeed is mandated by the nationality law and not the co

H1B is also for fashion models, which AFAIK, do not need their employer to prove they can not hire an American person for the role before being granted permission to hire a temporary foreign employee.

Modern keyfobs keep listening and transmitting all the time, as you no longer need to push a button. Just get close enough to the car and it opens.

Only this isn’t a submarine, as it operates at surface and doesn’t dive. This is semi-submersible. When built right, it’s hard to detect from a boat. I guess the goal of automation here is like it always is: remove the cost of human labor.

Podman Desktop, and probably other Linux-containers on macOS tools, can already create multiple VMs, each hosting a subset of the containers you run on your Mac. What seems to be different here, is that a VM per each container is the defaul

It's exactly the same reason: gram referenced a known quantity. Changing it by a few insignificant digits because of the kilogram update wouldn't force people to realign their perception of it. Changing it to ~1,000 times what it

It’s an historical artifact, as it was easier to manufacture a reference kilogram than a reference gram. Considering today we set the kilogram by fixing the Planck constant and deriving it from there, we can just divide each side of the def

Final is an access modifier. It controls who can change a value (in this case, no one). And like other access modifiers, you can use reflection to remove or change those modifier. It is a security barrier the developer asks the system to up
