  • Last year, the police department of the southern state of Tamil Nadu had sought to block Proton Mail after the email service was found to have been used for sending hoax bomb threats to local schools. The Indian government’s IT ministry reportedly notified internet providers to block Proton Mail at the request of law enforcement. However, the Swiss federal authorities intervened to prevent the blocking of Proton Mail taking effect.

    Oh.










  • My suggestions are generic to any vehicle but here goes:

    There’s inevitably going to be a forum (or multiple) for any car with tips on repairs and maintenance, can be worth checking those out to learn more about your car.

    There’s the basics of making sure to having fluids and filters checked/changed initially after the purchase, and then keeping to a schedule about what needs doing when. Some vehicle manuals still have that info for the owner, though again the forums might catch on with things that don’t get mentioned (PCV valves come to mind).

    Brakes can be an easy enough job when it comes up, and often done with basic hand tools. A decent set of tires and brakes does a lot for safety and peace of mind. A little tire pressure gauge could be handy if there isn’t a system built-in for it too- saves on fuel and from uneven wear.

    Seems like a nice little car, have fun!

    It might not exactly fit your scenario, but maybe consider a mini PC. Many streaming services work in a web browser, so you could check that all yours are available that way beforehand. I’m partial to Beelink but many companies have similar offerings. Little, quiet or fanless, low power usage.

    Costs are a bit higher initially, though it’ll likely have security updates longer than an Android box like the Onn one, and having more RAM might lend to that longevity in that role as well.

    A mini PC gives you options like switching to Linux, running an arr stack for ditching streaming etc., that might seem worthwhile.
