Does this really work? I have a little windows miniPC that runs some home services. And I hate that it just updates and reboots (or sometimes just ends up shutting down) whenever it’s feels like it. I don’t have the energy at the moment to clear it down and rebuild from scratch with Linux so this update blocker sounds bloody amazing.

China committed genocide against Uyghurs, independent tribunal rules

UK is pretty far from perfect but to suggest we have “just as dubious morals” as China is categorically wrong.

Proton are very transparent about what data is and isn’t stored, how data is protected and what (very limited) data may be available in the event of a legal warrant - going through all the proper channels.

Complying with legal warrants doesnt make the service insecure or not private. It makes it a legal and legitimate company.

It shouldn’t really be a surprise to any of it’s users.

Probably about half an hour or so.

Occasionally get a bad night where it takes me 2 or 3 hours to get to sleep. But it’s only if I’ve had a bad day in work or something that my head won’t quiet down about but it’s pretty rare and i can usually sort it out with some white noise earphones

I always assumed it was to give the water time to drain out so when you open the door it doesn’t just spill out over the floor

Not surprising. I used to update every 2 years but my last couple have had a 3 or 4 year gap.

As it should be really. These can be very expensive devices that only make sense if you get a decent life out of them.

Absolutely not

It may not be “sworn on a bible true true true” but it could be used to help build up evidence along with other sources or identify people to target for further investigation.

Absolutely shouldn’t be enough on it’s own to be able to get warrants or forces companies like Reddit to give out private information… but there’s be a line somewhere between “someone said they downloaded a movie” and “someone has admitted to committing or planning a horrible violent crime” where law enforcement would be justified in getting warrants. It should follow strict oversight and justification like warrants for “real life” things (I say “should” as in the moral should… no idea how good US laws are around this stuff or how well they are followed”)

Edit: they would also need to justify that the comments seem to be actually true or are likely to be true… chasing down every idiot who says something stupid on the internet would bankrupt any police force and not help anyone.

Also… use a VPN! governments & police are overreaching and individual privacy is important to protect.

Ultimately it depends on your threat model and security vs convenience.
