That is why I left the google Pixel for iPhone. I liked my Pixel, but at the time, they only did 3 years of support and security updates, I understand they recently upped it to 4 or 5 years? Sure, my iPhone costs more, but if I use a phone for its total life span (when it stops getting security updates), the iPhone comes out cheaper if you divide the cost of the phone by the number of years it gets supported.
I'm using an iPhone 6S, I changed the battery after around three years. The only issue is it gets pretty hot sometimes, still not sure what it is but it's manageable.
I think a lot of people here are missing the point that you can buy these and give them to friends and family members that might otherwise never try a VPN. It’s a great usability and marketing move.
WTF? Because using a VPN is essentially trying to be shady? But the rampant data thieves aren't the shady ones? Would you want to protect mum from a peeping tom?
Which is an incentive to not sell and instead take out a low interest loan using the properties as collateral. Many cities do have a Homestead exemption which reduces the real estate tax for primary residences.
Seems as though Argument in the alternative focusses on eliminating possible explanations. Kettle Logic involves claiming 2 or more explanations to be true while being incompatible with each other, making it a logical fallacy.
I recently deactivated Facebook (which I only ever used via web browser) and since then I’ve been counting the number of times I unconsciously end up on the Facebook login page when I’m bored/killing time. I’ve noticed that faced with a “new tab” I’ll often just hit the f key and hit enter without thinking about it, landing me on the Facebook login page. Before I deactivated, this would result in me somewhat unconsciously scrolling through my newsfeed mindlessly consuming whatever Facebook decides I should see that day. I don’t consider myself to be mentally weak so it scares me to think about what percentage of the population does this without ever realizing it.
Oh I totally do this with Hacker News too, which is why I typically block access during work hours. I feel better about it if I'm consciously giving myself a break to read HN. Right now I'm using the LeechBlock Extension which allows for timed overrides.
I use SelfControl to block these websites on my mac. I use uBlock filters to block feeds on my phone. I also log out of some websites when I'm done. It helps a lot.
Just chiming in here, but I would say the high mining hash rate makes it the most secure chain (secure like people can't go back in time and change the chain's history because it would be prohibitively expensive to do so).
Ultimately I think Ethereum's market cap will come close to challenging BTC's in the next 10 years and when that happens we will see a rapid transfer of capital from the BTC chain to the ETH chain.
