I had Logitech M705 for 12 years, I changed the battery roughly every 2 years. I only replaced the mouse, because the rubber fell off.

I always avoided wireless, but it is not as unreliable as before, unless there an interference like from Wi-Fi or other wireless devices.

I have Logitech M330 Silent Plus now, but sometimes it gets clumsy, because of an interference, I have to shake it down a bit.

What makes me wonder though, how come people did believe it in the first place?

It usually states that is an estimate based on an average use, so in ideal conditions.

Like a wireless mouse with 3 years battery life lasts for about 18 months IRL, so 50%.

Limit upload to 80% of a real speed. It could be RAM or HDD, but you can see that easily in the task manager.

I used https://makemkv.com - MKV is supported by most TVs/players. The license is free on their forum.

You should still tell here that even if DVD is in a perfect condition, it will eventually die. The surface is made with chemicals, which react with air, so unless she have them hermetically sealed, they will just stop working one day and all it takes is one little missing segment to ruin the movie.

• I prefer to hide in the plain sight. I use Google, MSA, Bing, Edge, Onedrive, Outlook.
• Trying to hide too much is like using DoNoTrack, it only draws the needless attention.
• I use Outlook for official business, gmail for eshops, they know my real name and location.
• But I separate browsers, Edge for casual, Brave for Google/YouTube, LibreWolf for FB, TOR for other.
• I use NextDNS blocking GAFAM, I avoid browser extensions (easily identified). Firewall blocks ports 53/80.

That is smart, I actually share my setup: https://github.com/TairikuOokami/Windows

Technically there is nothing personal, not even a real IP, just Windows hardening.

For starters, it prevents some censorship and filtering, because it is usually done on DNS level, like in UK.

ISP can to see, to what domains you have connected, but most webpages use CDN servers like cloudflare, so while he could presume that you have connected to piratebay, there is no guarantee. It could be just an AD on some webpage or a linked picture, because each time you connect to any webpage, your browser makes connection to 30-50 other webpages, so it is not as straightforward as DNS, so an encrypted DNS helps.

To put it simply, if you use ISP DNS, ISP can see that you visited xxx shop in a mall. If you use some DOH, ISP can see, that you visited a mall.

For now, but they are slowly being abandoned in favor of DoH and DoQ. DoT is deprecated even on Android 13 and replaced by DoH.

For security. It uses a separate port, so it can not be easily abused by malware/hijacked, you will simply allow a single IP, unlike with DoH, where you have allowed all the traffic.

Yes, DoH is good for privacy, but not for security.

It is supposed to replace TCP, but till then it sort of uses both. I use it only on Brave for Youtube/Google.

QUIC uses UDP for ports and connectionless transport, then adds the resiliency of TCP, the security of TLS 1.3, sprinkles in a dash of commands and version control from protocols like SMB, and then mixes in a set of new protocol concepts and efficiencies to create something entirely unique in the protocol world.

Yes, because UDP > TCP. They keep using excuses like that UDP is unreliable, because you can lost packets, I have never lost a single one.

They want people to use easily tracked TCP. UDP is a simple request, TCP has to establish the connection, QUIC by Google is even worse.

Unfortunately DNScrypt was never accepted as a standard, so it will eventually fade away and we will be forced to use DoH, I prefer DoT.

Indeed, I backup everything I can, because even if it is available online, it will get removed for being politically incorrect eventually.

For example, I had a hard time finding “Christmas on Division Street”, I got only a low resolution version, but I am thankful for that.

Exactly, it is not like they are paying devs extra, they get the same whether the game is sold good or bad. CEOs keep the money.

Pirating the software works the same way as using freeware, you promote it and thus increase the sales. People, who pirate games would never buy it, they could not afford it, but they spread the word about it and help it by populating multiplayer, reporting bugs, creating content, etc.

It has nothing to do with security, Google Safe Browsing works fine without it and you can use it with alternative DNS services instead.

It is literally just so Google can see everything you do, type, say, etc and by it you give it consent to alter it, for your protection.

Like when it was enabled, it filtered out rt news links, literally removed it from emails and messages, as if they never existed.

What is illegal and immoral changes daily, so it is not just about that particular example. The point is that they can do it.
