They most likely won't work. Just speculation, but I would imagine most software that "needs" information like GPS don't care that its on or off, they care that they try to pull data and there is none.

At least they acknowledge that cookie consent does nothing and paywalls are ridiculous.

My comment was in context of existing business infrastructure. You're right that most of us don't have a fax machine, but many organizations still do and therefore it can be very convenient for B2B communication. And in the case of orgs that want faxes but you don't have one, ifax is a thing as well.

I'm not making an argument for faxes, I'm just saying for an outdated technology it's stayed quite useful in the modern era.

Not really safer, they just work with the existing infrastructure. Personally, I think there's still a place for fax, it's essentially a convenient way to scan and transmit, and these days you can get them to your email or phone (not in healthcare because that's not HIPAA compliant). Sure, not anybody's first choice, but I think it's still valid.

I tried, but my wife put a stop to it.

Man I really wish people could report on Proton in a neutral manner. I think this information is really important, but the article is so skewed towards Proton being a deceptive company that I lose the real details reading it.

And the author makes claims like it being a pattern because Proton Mail says it can't read your emails but they can read the plain text inbound emails before they encrypt them. Um...of course anybody can read unencrypted plain text emails before they get encrypted, and Proton straight out states that.

I think this is an issue, but given that there was no statement given by Proton or a sentence saying I reached out to proton but they declined to answer, I will need to wait for more information to have an opinion.

Thanks for sharing. I've not yet delved into reading it in depth but appreciate your goals and the fact that you documented it all.
