Your OS doesn't matter when picking a VPN provider.

Others have mentioned plenty of good options.

When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS's XS package (this 1€/month). It's one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it's a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it's just straight forward.

One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don't want to set up your own.

I have in this past month or so on my computer. I saw it on a friend's computer 2-3 months ago too.

Windows 10 does the exact same thing these days. I have no idea of the frequency on Windows 10 but I've seen it.

I'm impressed at the balanced conversations in this submission. People who are both for and against Windows and Linux. As I remember, it felt like everyone was heavily biased towards Linux and hated everything about Windows 6 months ago.

WizFile does a good job at it too. It works differently though; WizFile just looks at your partition table of the selected drive/directory. It's super fast in all aspects but it's only a single drive/directory at a time. I think Everything is slow to index everything but is super fast when searching and works across multiple drives/directories

WizFile is made by the same people who make WizTree and is essentially the same program, but instead of visually showing you the disk, it allows you to search.

There are only about 2000 exit nodes. I wonder how many are running on substantial hardware and internet connections.

I'm interested in why people have hyped him up to be smart?

I've watched a few podcasts with Elon as the guest and he comes across as average as an average person can be.

The only thing I've seen is that he jumps at opportunities he believes will be profitable, and has leveraged what he has against partners and adversaries for his own personal gain.

This is what I was already comparing. Ugreen make thinner cables?

The oblong ones look just like gel capsules you would see as a supplement.

There was a submission made about how few people donate to the Devs. I asked about transparency and some links were given that show some things. I commented that it's not as transparent as it seems at first glance and they responded that it's fully transparent. I asked them to clarify but they decided to ignore me. I see why the Devs get criticism.

I think you got the response we all expected you'd get.

I wonder why we don't hear about open source anti-virus even though I think there are a couple of them out there.
