There's always going to be vulnerabilities, that's why they're ending support. They don't want to spend time updating an OS they don't want people using.

Windows 10 is probably fairly secure... today. In 2 years, someone might discover a new vulnerability, and you won't get the update. If there's a new way to do web security and the browsers need OS support to implement it, you'll be stuck on legacy security settings.

Well, unfortunately many other countries aren't looking at the USA as a warning, but as an example.

The right wing is gaining ground in a lot of places that should know better.

I need the cable company (or similar) due to the fact that infrastructure is hard to deploy, and we need Internet to participate in society.

Nobody needs Microsoft cause every single one of their products has an alternative that's at least as good.

They survive by courting enterprises, but many of them can also switch away if they want.

I use rsync to backup, I can delete and restore the whole drive if i want at any time.

I use watchtower to keep things updated. If you schedule the rsync and watchtower correctly, you can get the backup done before the upgrade and there's basically no lost data with the rollback.

I use uptime Kuma for monitoring, and it shoots me an email with details on what failed.

I automate my upgrades, but I also automate my backups, and monitoring.

If an upgrade breaks something, my health monitor lets me know and I can roll back to the previous day.

You can also manually add or remove search engines (at least in current Mozilla releases)

Costa Rica, while a very nice country and very modern in a lot of ways, is extremely religious.

Well, for one, some YouTubers made a cheap, open source VR headset. That was pretty neat.

I run it. It's good if you want to just host the books. Share my 2k size ebook library with my group of friends.

No, this is completely different. Incognito mode deletes all browsing data (locally) once the window closes.

This allows you to say, be logged into Facebook on one profile, logged into Google on a different profile, and logged into your daily browsing in a third profile. Or you can have multiple logged in YouTube sessions in case you're a content creator, you can have a profile for each of your channels.

This way the cookies for each aren't intermixed, and it would make it (slightly) harder to correlate browsing habits from embedded cookies or logged in sessions, or just to keep tabs and browsing history separate.

Counterpoint.

The dude didn't have many nice things, but that rug was one of them. He was shown meditating on the new rug, so maybe that was his daily ritual for staying dude-like.

It tied the room together cause it was a quality object that took the focus, in his eyes, off the junk that was everything else.
