Have you seen IT budgets? Some vice-president of technology is going to be pissed his numbers look bad compared to his peers during their weekly numbers measuring contest.

A few years ago a tech friend literally couldn’t comprehend why he would want to be in a union.

Give up your universal account that accesses everywhere. Multiple accounts is the way.

Others have already laughed at this idea, but on a similar topic:

I know we’ve basically disabled a lot of features that sped up the CPU but introduced security flaws. Is there a way to turn those features back on for an airgapped computer intentionally?

No where in history was that a legitimate trade. Only her father would take such a dumb deal.

Aristocrats can afford to pay a house at a minimum. Don’t let them devalue your worth.

  • they sue you for a portion of your future savings, because you single-handedly responsible for their imaginary loss of profits, judge agrees.
  • free tier vpns are good enough. But the competition amongst “no log” vpns is pretty fierce. People say you can only trust 3 specific vpns who would rather shut down than spy for a government, but if you’re just downloading movies then you can expand your choices.
  • the point of the vpn is to hide your ip address. Self hosting in your home defeats purpose. The best free option is using I2P for torrenting.
  • Wait till December for all the Christmas discounts. An annual bundle works out to $2-4 a month.

When was the last time VLC paid $50K USD for a proper security audit?

It’s possible to get a virus from any data that enters your computer full stop.

Likelyhood wise: that virus on the MKV will have to attack the operating system preview system (which means you fucked all the way up to personal nation state attention), or attack the video player (which is a lot more likelier, they discover theoretical exploits all the time).

You’re talking about streaming with VLC? Was it a trusted source? Cause otherwise the FBI or script kiddie has probably fucked you up.
