Browsing the internet without it these days is like fucking a methed out hooker bareback. I don't understand why anyone even considers the prospect.

Awesome thanks! This is going on my to-print list
How many HDD are you running? Set to spin down or no? Those spinning all the time add up quickly.
Sleep state and power States are different things... I've never heard of power profiles causing issues. I'd try keeping sleep disabled in BIOS and then look into what you need to change to allow the processor to idle/downclock. There's no reason this shouldn't work I'm aware of.
Could try undervolting as well.
"Fully anonymous"
"will track IP"
"Have my word I do no track or log IP address"
"I will track IP addresses"
Wow is this the first time a dev advertising anonymous software has admitted they plan to sell their userbase (once that userbase builds their content for them enough) right off the bat?
Its like a enshittification speedrun
I wish the companies that decide to only allow SMS 2FA (or none at all) will fucking realize this sooner rather than later
This sounds like tech-bro RSS.
Ya simple solution: don't buy no-name chinesium crap regardless of the storefront and you won't be disappointed
Get a library card and go to town on some books. I'm using reading to replace my social media/Netflix/YouTube time. Aiming for one book every two weeks for 2024 since I'm a pretty slow reader.
Bonus: If your library has Libby you can rip the DRM using calibre and build out your collection on your ereader. My library offers free music streaming and 5 DRM-free mp3 downloads/day from "freegalmusic". They also offer free streaming services for movies and TV but I haven't used those since the point is to read more not watch more bullshit, but could aid as way of weaning yourself off after cancelling other subscriptions
Same here. No play services, no problem.
NordVPN literally will not let me delete my account. My 3 years is over, there is no method to delete when signed in to their site. You have to fill out a form with your payment details and shit to "verify your identity" (who remembers that shit from 3 years ago).
Literally emailed from the email associated with the account, called, logged in, etc. they won't delete it until I send my credit card info in the clear, over insecure email.
FUCK NORDVPN

Sauce: former Samsung user tired of the bloatware, spying, terrible battery life due to constantly running bullshit in the background, etc. who moved to a pixel 8 + grapheneos. The experience is night and day and its quite liberating to finally feel like I own my phone and not the other way around.
