I've had good luck using permethrin as a bug repellant instead of a clothing treatment.

They're (PIA) also owned by an ad company...

I used a sapphire. I'm a ceramic engineer, and sapphire is just alumina, so I think it's cool, and you can get basically any color you want.

I've done this upgrade already. Partially because one of my computers that shipped with windows 11 was unuseable because of how slow it was...

It's getting harder and harder to make things smaller, but they are making things thinner now, which means they can layer them, thus increasing density.

Just to clear the air, the objection tends to be on the grounds that certain medicines/vaccines are tested on stem cells harvested from an aborted baby. While there are other objections, this is the most common one I have run into.

If these individuals are consistent in their objections (avoid tylonel, Advil, and any other meds tested in these stem cells) Then I believe we should respect their religious convictions. But, consistentcy is key here, you can't pick and choose.

We either believe that people have the right to have different beliefs than others, or we don't. We also can't be inconsistent with that ideology. But we can absolutely challenge them when being inconsistent, i.e., if one religious symbol is allowed, any competing ones that someone desires to place must also be allowed.

I have updated my comment to direct to a comment from @weststadtgesicht that is more accurate.

I don't struggle a lot with it. Occasionally I'll have an issues, but it's not bad at all. Sometimes I have to switch severs, but I'll usually find a working one in 1-2 tries.

The only outright block I run into is sometimes .gov sites won't let me in unless I'm set to a us server.

I've been using Proton for 4ish years now and like it. Email, VPN, drive, and calendar. I use something else instead of proton pass, but just for diversity.

I've been very happy with the whole Proton suite for almost 4 years now (though, I've never used the free plan)

Depends on the server. I rarely am over there, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't
