@CosmoSix5 Hi! Can I ask you a question? I saw a VPN sign on your screen. I wonder why they use VPN in America? I watch YouTube and foreign news through VPN. That's how it is in Russia now.
-
@Walery-Smirnoff some people think that the government is watching them in the USA and elsewhere in the world, clearly said to a Russian, this probably sounds fanciful compared to your reality..
Also, some people use VPNs to circumvent protections on some websites, for example if I want to watch a football match when I am staying in the USA, on a service I pay for in the UK, the game is blocked, so I can use a VPN to enable me to still access the service I pay for.
Further to both of the above examples, a VPN can prevent you from certain types of hacking on public WiFi networks -
@Alex Alex, thanks for the answer. It turns out that VPN can be used for peaceful purposes)))
-
+1 for the football watching use if a vpn.
-
@Walery-Smirnoff @Alex nailed it. I use it to watch Red Sox games when they're blacked out in my locale.
-
@Alex I'm surprised they don't block vpns. what are you using?
but even with a vpn, I can't access Optus sport in australia. even F1 on YouTube won't play if my VPN is active..

Interesting that they don’t vpn block. I wonder if it’s a provider issue or vpn issue. Just renewed my Surfshark. Might try nord or once it’s due for renewal
As far as I understand, blocking VPN is also problematic. There may be problems with stable operation of the Internet. Therefore, in Russia, for example, you can still somehow use the Internet.

My mobile Internet practically doesn't work. And this is happening precisely because of artificial suppression. Although I pay money for mobile traffic. And I can't present anything to anyone. The mobile operator shrugs.

Hard water spots on shower door…f’n kicking my ass. Was reading on the interwebs to use a hammer and then replace the glass
At this point, I’m seriously considering it.

@goosehd let us know what you find out that works. I know that its a pain in the ass

@endo I try to dry mine with a towel after I shower and keep telling myself it’s easier in the long run.

Scraping with a squeegee after every shower is annoying, but better than constantly cleaning with glass cleaner.
This is the way.
-
I used a scrubbing sponge with bar keeper’s friend to remove most of the spots. I have a few stubborn areas where the build up was a bit worse than the rest that I’m still struggling to remove. Going to keep working at it…
Yes, squeegee is the way and neglect leads to spending afternoons swearing…
