I've had the oil in my 2008 Sienna analyzed a few times by Blackstone Labs, and have been told that 5k miles is what I should stick to.

from smaller tech companies

Like what?

There is absolutely no reason why programming software for a universal remote should require a connection to a remote server to function. Program the codes you need, make some macros, and you're done. No server needed. Codes can be easily obtained from other resources that don't require 24/7 network access.

Their mice are great, until they need a subscription, for some reason...

And none of that relates to the VPN which, under Swiss law, is not obligated to retain any logs whatsoever.

The business found itself in hot water in 2024 after complying with a legal request to hand over the recovery email address for a Proton Mail account.

Yep, that's how the law works in Switzerland. It's dumb, but every company based in Switzerland operates this way. Also, if you bothered to look into it, per Swiss law, VPN services are not required to retain any logs.

That, and if you were truly privacy focused, you wouldn't have a recovery email on your Proton account in the first place.

Y'all are blowing this way the fuck out of proportion.

1. Proton AG is not based in the US, and they've already shown that they have no access to any encrypted data multiple times.

2. Proton AG is privately owned by the Proton Foundation, not Andy Yen. Andy is only 1 out of 5 people on that board. He does not have full control, and has only expressed his opinion on a single person that Trump picked. That's it. Was it distasteful? Yes. Does it mean that Andy is a trumper and hellbent on fucking over everyone else? Absolutely not.

FFS, get your facts straight.

Just to add - a rather large reason the technology we have today even exists is thanks in no small part to the x86 architecture and it's immense backwards-compatibility.

USAA does this when someone calls in, but I think that last part is the real difference here

Ugh, I used the "Mail" app exactly once, in 2017. That should tell you all you need to know 😂

They could just not release the "new" Outlook until it's more feature complete...

I don't think anybody is arguing against a more efficient product. The issue I see is the multiple, incompatible versions with confusing naming schemes that exist simultaneously.
