I’m not saying Proton was right or wrong to hand over data, who knows how much if a fight they really out up, but it seems more like an OpSec thing, where they found the account because they used that email to create a user account somewhere that they then posted about being a part of this group rhe FBI was going after.

I’d say your best bet to avoid this would be to create a free account that doesn’t have any payment info and doesn’t use your premium account as a recovery method of any kind if you’re going to use it as the email associated with a social media account. Or like someone else mentioned, if there’s an anonymous payment method, always use that.

Again, not a great look for Proton, but doesn’t really go against any of their claims as far as data encryption is concerned. Not sure if they could encrypt that payment info.

I haven’t looked into them really at all, but their phone app I would consider a data connection, also how is it updating that? Just Bluetooth? Maybe they have that info, like I said, I haven’t looked into them much yet.

As others have said, it’s my daily driver. I like the vertical tabs, sessions, and pinned tabs. I saw someone mention you can’t watch TV or Movies through it, but I haven’t had issues with any of the main streaming sites, or the more unconventional free sites that exist, but yeah you will need to make adjustments for it to match LibreWolf privacy-wise

One of my gf’s friends went through a pretty nasty breakup, moved and whatnot and most of her friend group were trying to make sure that the ex and his friends didn’t have their location anymore and I’m just sitting here like “its wild that you have to go through that” well a couple weeks later 3 of her tires were stabbed with a screw driver or something, and while there’s no concrete evidence that they learned where she moved, I’m still over here trying to get them all to be more conscious about online privacy and location sharing, but nothing works…

I could go for like <5 in to be honest.

I just want them to be smaller.

Sceptre still makes TVs that are just that, no underlying smart OS

I’m fine with reasonable ads. Plex Live TV has ads that don’t always get caught by NextDNS for me and it’s always some local business and like 30 seconds, NBD it’s a free service and needs to operate somehow and I’m not aware of any major privacy breaches from Plex. I feel the same way about YT video sponsor segments, they don’t always get caught by ReVanced, also, NBD the creator also needs to get paid for their work.

Also multiple SD cards, swapping out frequently so even if they grash the camera you still have something.

Honestly, it would be kind of funny that your phone calls emergency services when you get pulled over and you don’t want them to force you to unlock your phone, having a 911 operator recording the entire interaction’s audio.

Side note, leave the burner in a Faraday bag when it’s going to be near your daily driver.

Isn’t that Proton’s tagline?

I liked Little Brother. Didn’t get into Homeland as much though.

The only thing I’ll tack onto this is that with the introduction of Signal usernames, you still have to give Signal your number to verify that at least on some level, you probably are a real person. As someone with 5 different phone numbers, probably doesn’t stop spam as much as they’d hoped, but more than they feared, but at least now you don’t have to give that Craigslist guy who uses Signal your phone number, just your username. Is that the best method? I dunno, but but it is something.

I’m all for 3d printing things for myself, especially when they serve a purpose and not just a little display piece.
