@Danimal506 I think mine will be here today
-
I'm officially delayed until tomorrow. Glad it's for fall/winter lol. Still my OCD is kicking in. IHUK should at least get their shipping fee returned.

@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..

@louisbosco said in Random Rants:
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.
