Other way around.

You check the date?

I’ve had so many different laptops over the past ~10 years ranging from Dell, ThinkPad, System76, Asus, and now a newer MacBook. I’ve used Windows, Linux, and Mac OS as a daily driver OS. The only Arm chip I’ve had is my current MacBook, but to answer your question, its power efficiency is unmatched compared to anything else I’ve ever had… resulting in crazy battery life as well as a device that doesn’t try to melt a hole through my lap whenever I try and do something even remotely taxing on it.

“Truth-seeking AI” 🤮

Says that for me too. Could it be the difference between USD and Canadian Dollars?

Phew, this was a good reminder since I was meaning to cancel my subscription anyway. It was going to auto renew in 2 days. 😬

Hah yeah that’s what we got too. About the same time too.

2000 or 2001, can’t remember which.

Same for me, but that glorified auto complete helps a lot.

Under the Privacy settings, scroll down to the Website Advertising Preferences section. It’s the only setting in that section.

It seems like you’re assuming that file modified times are fixed…? Every piece of metadata like that can be altered. If you took a picture and posted it somewhere, I could take it and alter it to my liking, then add in some fake exif data as well as make it look like I modified the image before your actual original version.

You can’t use any of that metadata to prove anything.

Exif data can be faked.

Do you do any online banking? Do you ever log into any sort of health provider website? These are just two examples of a nearly infinite list of highly private information you would not want other people seeing.

It says on their main page… it’s basically self hosted GitHub.

To be fair, I probably wouldn’t wear one either if I looked like that.

The main reason is that it lets me access my home network. So if I want to watch a movie or something I have stored on my NAS, I can do that without exposing that service to the internet. Or if I want to Remote Desktop into one of my computers. And it’s a decent way to protect Internet traffic while on an untrusted public network.

I used to use the AdGuard app on my iPhone, but 1) I found for whatever reason it didn’t seem to work as well as the standalone self hosted version. The way it works on phones is that it does some sort of local VPN trickery, and for whatever reason it’s like it would temporarily stop working. Who knows. But 2) now I just have a single instance of AdGuard to manage and get its benefits on all my devices. I don’t need to maintain lists or rules for the one running at home and separately maintain rules in the phone app version.

I have AdGuard set up at home and OpenVPN so I can connect to my home network and route all my traffic through it. Gives the same ad blocking ability but without the need to travel with it.

If you knowingly share your connection with someone else and then they go on to do illegal activities with it, you can be held liable.

And not to mention liability issues if you share a network like that with neighbors. If they start doing illegal stuff while connected to your router, you are on the hook for it.
