Financially stupid? I guess, but that applies to almost all collectibles. So does paying to go out for a meal when it’s cheaper to cook at home, but people still do it because they enjoy it.

Yes. They never gave away content of emails, because they couldn’t even if they wanted to. It’s encrypted.

They gave the recovery email for the account to the authorities, which was an iCloud account tied to the user’s real name.

Never heard of banger racing?

It’s marketing. Someone who signs up for the free email might not interested in drive. But then to get extra space in the emails they need to follow the tasks that make them interact with the other products, which will help gain people’s interest.

That’s just sponsorship…

This is already normalised for travellers in most of the world outside of Europe. It’s nothing new, just new to Europe.

That’s like Steve jobs saying ‘you’re holding it wrong’ about the iPhone 4…

+1 for iPhone. Is it as private as GrapheneOS? No. Is it more private than almost all out of the box android phones? Yes.

Apple still use a lot of your data, although they at least claim to anonymise most of it. But that data stays internal to try boost more apple sales, and isn’t sold to other companies. I’d rather 1 company have my information than 100.

Any apple apps you don’t want are easily removed once it’s set up and they don’t come back with updates etc.

I wouldn’t really say these are cybersecurity tools, but it’s sure as shit not Brave.

So basically I can do what I want with data and GDPR doesn’t matter as long as I don’t use it or sell it in a GDPR country? Surely GDPR applies to both the company obtaining the data and the company to which you sell the data, not just the end client?

The word simplex is not common in normal everyday English, unless you happen to be talking about the Herpes Simplex Virus.

The association between Simplex and Herpes is not a hard one to make, as noted by all the other comments.

I’d rather not discuss Simplex vs Signal with someone who tries to give off ‘big brain’ energy instead of realising the social norms of holding conversations.

Not everything is literal my dude.

What an awful name though. Why would you name a messaging app after herpes?

But you posted it to a privacy sub

I’m not sure of an app that does it (unless you want to use photoshop etc,but even that will likely try store it in the cloud).

I’d just ask the person to resend it. HEIC is the format used by iPhones. They can send it as a jpeg (they need to copy>paste it, not just press share).

I was using Gandi for years, but they’ve started charging for mailboxes now. I have a lot of mailboxes that are hardly used, but I need to keep.

Just moved to namecheap based on reviews and so far they seem fine
