Yeah, Monero is a pain which is why a lot of people prefer mailing the money. That was my point.

Also traceable unless you bought the bitcoin anonymously or mined it. Mullvad accepts Monero, which is not traceable (and also bitcoin if you really want to).

I highly doubt there is a user that truly does not care for innovation. If there is a better product for the same price, who wouldn’t buy it.
More importantly, the impact is not just innovation but security, price of ownership and reliability. Apple managed to “innovate” themselves into a position where they are discouraging data rescue on Macs and iPhones. That’s the kind of thing you may not be thinking about when buying but may greatly regret not having when you need it.

Again, why are you so over focused on stock price? As a consumer, how is the first thing you take away from lack of innovation and engineering failures that Apples stock price may suffer and not that the machine you are baying is sub-par and overpriced?
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 4 days ago:
TL;DR: Under Jobs, Apple focused on engineering products and the profitability and stock price followed. Under Cook, Apple focuses on stock price and is massively cutting R&D/Engineering costs to the point they did not release anything really new for years. E.g. Siri that is unable to catch up to modern chatbots.

Did you watch the video or are you guessing based on the thumbnail? Because the video isn’t about apples profitability.

I have been using Linux Mint for over half a year now, and besides gaming, I had no issues with a great experience. Had very bad experience with other Linux distros.

Time for Mullvad VPN?
- Comment on Round Two: Can I manage to set up Jellyfin correctly this time? 1 week ago:
I just finished refining my Jellyfin setup. I use caddy as reverse proxy and use authelia as authentication in front of Jellyfin. This way only users logged in to authelia can access my Jellyfin. And there is an SSO plugin for jellyfin to avoid double login. The tricky part was getting apps to work.
- Comment on Two VPNs? 2 weeks ago:
Tailscale now supports buying Mullvad subscription through them and using it with their app. So it solves this issue, although the control you have over your Mullvad tunnel is less and it misses some advanced Mullvad featurea. Still probably good wnough.
I ended up going a different route by buying a VPS and hosting Caddy as reverse proxy. Then I only have my VPS and NAS on tailscale and other devices use the reverse proxy.

I wouldn’t be concern about the MAC addresses but about the app mentioned in the article. Why do you need an app for this? What data will it collect about you?
- Comment on Iron 2 weeks ago:
I get why you think that, but it does not say permanent.
If the birth control lasted 1-6 month to ensure active addicts would not have children, I would be kind of in favor of it. There is nothing good about a child being raised by addicts or taken by CPS and going through orphanages/foster care.
- Comment on Tesla withheld data, lied, and misdirected police and plaintiffs to avoid blame in Autopilot crash 2 weeks ago:
The conditioning of people to think it must be monetary fines is strong I guess. Imo it shouldn’t be a fine for intentionally breaking laws, especially when putting lives in danger. It should be jail time for the executives. Make the calculation disappear altogether.

is not typically a good way to sell things.
Ah yes, telling the truth is not good for sales, therefore deception is ok.
Yeah, it seems we won’t agree here. Have a nice day.

If you insist on being a fanboy than go ahead. But this is like arguing a bulletproof vest is useless because it does not cover your entire body.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
Well, even the mail is sometimes e2ee. Making the comparison without specifying is like marketing your safe as being used in Fort Knox and it turns out it is used for payroll documents like in every company. Technically true but misleading as hell. When you hear Fort Know, you think gold vault. If you hear proton mail, you think e2ee even if most mails are external.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
It is e2ee
It is not. Not in any meaningful way.
When you email someone outside Proton servers, doesn’t the same thing happen anyway?
Yes it does.
But the LLM is on Proton servers, so what’s the actual vulnerability?
Again, the issue is not the technology. Tge issue is deceptive marketing. Why doesn’t their site clearly say what you say? Why use confusing technical terms most people won’t understand and compare it to drive that is fully e2ee.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
The easiest is to explain the consequence.
We can’t access your chat history retroactively, but we can start wiretapping your future chats.
If that is too honest for you, then just explain the data is encrypted after the LLM reads them instead of using technical terms like zero access.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
What exactly is dishonest here? The language on their site is factually accurate, I’ve had to read it 7 times today because of you all.
I object to how it is written. Yes, technically it is not wrong. But it intentionally uses confusing language and rare technical terminology to imply it is as secure as e2ee. They compare it to proton mail and drive that are supposedly e2ee.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
You understand that, but try to read it from the point of view of an average user that knows next to nothing about cyber security and LLMs. It sounds like it’s e2ee that email and drive are famous for. To us, that’s obviously impossible but most people will interpret that marketing this way.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
A local LLM is one YOU run on YOUR machine.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. You seem to be confused by basic English.
Look, Proton can at any time MITM attack your email
They are not supposed to be able to and well designed e2ee services can’t be.
There is no such thing as e2ee LLMs. That’s not how any of this works.
I know, yet proton is happily advertising one. Just read their page.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
Zero-access encryption
Your chats are stored using our battle-tested zero-access encryption, so even we can’t read them, similar to other Proton services such as Proton Mail, Proton Drive, and Proton Pass.
from protons own website.
And why this is not true is explained in the article from the main post.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
Their AI is not local, so adding it to your email means breaking e2ee. That’s to some extent fine. You can make an informed decision about it.
But proton is not putting warning labels on this. They are trying to confuse people into thinking it is the same security as their e2ee mails. Just look at the “zero trust” bullshit on protons own page.
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
Yes, indeed. Even so, just because there is a workaround, we should not ignore the issue (governments descending into fascism).
- Comment on Proton’s Lumo AI chatbot: not end-to-end encrypted, not open source 3 weeks ago:
The worst part is that once again, proton is trying to convince its users that it’s more secure than it really is. You have to wonder what else their are lying or deceiving about.

I used a VPN yesterday to see how it looks in the UK. Seems a lot of porn sites don’t give a shit about UK and don’t require any verification. So one again, just the law abiding sites are punished while kids are pushed towards the lawless ones.

- Comment on Proton releases a new app for two-factor authentication 3 weeks ago:
There are no very clear reasons to distrust proton, but is it just me that finds them releasing a 2FA app kinda disturbing? Like, why waste the resources? What could they do better than Aegis? If there is no reason, than I have to wonder if it is to get more data into their ecosystem.
