If the game is DRM free on GOG it usually only has the Steamworks DRM on steam. That one is so easy to remove that you might aswell call it DRM free since its only use is to make publishers think their game is protected.

There is nothing that Valve could change about this with the current way games are licensed.
All your Steam account is is a collection of lifetime leasing contracts between you and the seller. Steam already forces third parties to give you liftime access even if the game is pulled from the store page, but that contract gets voided once one of the two parties ceases to exist, be it the buyer or the studio that sells the game.
Legally binding the games to your account instead of you also isn't possible since in most countries you either have to be a real person or a registered entity to form contracts.
Ich bin schon öfters mit einem USB Stick zu nem Kumpel geradelt, weil es schneller war als der Download von so ziemlich allem über 2GB.
Have they really managed to make an app now? I'll have to look it up if so.
Do you use the VPN on your ipad or the graphenos phone with the Hotspot? Hotspot is pretty much never routed through any VPN since no app on your phone is allowed to intercept the traffic.
Afaik it's possible to set up with root permissions, but you will need third party software to do so.
It works as advertised, I'd say. The Email service works fine, no issue to date.
The VPN has the same issues as others, meaning some sites block some servers entirely, and others force captcha after captcha at you. There also was the problem with missing portforwarding options in the app (at least on Linux), but that is fixed now. Overall it works fine, never had too much of a problem with it, at most had to switch servers if my connection got blocked from the site.
The calendar is a calendar, end of sentence.
Proton pass is a bit weird. They don't offer any desktop app, you can only use the website or the browser plugin. There is no benefit I could think of over bitwarden and I'd even recommend bitwarden more than proton for password management. But it does work without problems.
No idea about proton drive. Last time I used it you had to manually upload each item into the online safe. But from a quick look it seems like there is a desktop app now that offers automatic backups/uploads.
For me it's worth it since even the recent news articles show that they keep their privacy promises. But I also got the money to spare for it. You could get all functionalities for less money and to about the same level of privacy, but it takes more effort and time. It's for you to decide if the convenience is worth it.
Yeah, but it lies.
No it doesn't, at least not if the update isn't already a month overdue
But a future Windows update will reset them without informing the user.
I've done 3 years worth of updates in one day cause I needed too. Pretty much everything was reset including registry edits, but the privacy toggles were one of the few things that stayed persistent. Maybe it's a EU special feature (wouldn't be the first), but at least here they won't change back silently.
Not really, it still doesn't answer the question as the main thing is still unclear.
Is the first chicken egg the one the chicken hatched from or the first egg a chicken laid.
Both can be argued as correct.
I've spent ways less time editing the windows registry than I've spent trying to fix all the dual monitor bugs with linux.
Windows issues/changes are a 30 second google search away, linux issues often enough require a 1 hour deep dive into multiple forums.
Proton upheld their claim of privacy, no Emails were disclosed. But they never promised anonymity cause that's something they simply can't do under the Swiss law. If you willingly give them your other mail addresses or contact details, they have to comply. Sure they could have denied the Spanish authorities, but it takes less than a week to get a court order for things like this.
Tbh, this study kinda sounds like a self-fulfilling prophecy. In this day and age, if you don't have web access, you are probably either stuck in your old ways or not well off. Sure you might find the oddball that willingly doesn't own a phone, but in a study of that size they should get drowned out.
How is that even supposed to work? These search engines need per definition massive databanks to search through. Either you need your own crawler and indexer which is more than just inefficient, or you are limited to a relatively short list of curated static results.
