    cm0s reacted to LZ1 in My review on FN, we should all help AirVPN get noticed   ...
    Hello!
     
    That's nice of you .
     
    It's hard to reach the top of most review lists, when you don't do bribes lol . Hence why PIA is everywhere - Got to wonder if that's a coincidence ^^. 
     
    Jokes aside:
     
    Taking a skeptical point of view, one could argue that Air isn't necessarily all that interested in being at the top of every list, seeing as while that means more revenue potentially, it also potentially means more complete novices. Novices which, if coupled with a lack of patience, can become quite the nuisance for Air and people on the forum and thereby leave as angry customers; perhaps ones who'll then actively try to discredit Air, wherever they go, because they couldn't get Eddie to run on their toaster and get a reliable connection to Nigeria, if you know what I'm saying haha. Unreasonable requests.
     
    Because remember, Air is quite technical. Or at least quite open about being so. Which means a lot less information is hidden or abstracted from its users; unlike perhaps most other VPNs. This can overwhelm people .It should be said however, that Air already enjoys a very positive reputation and as such will naturally reach those users who are perhaps already in tune with Airs views and methods; uncompromising security, no overselling or absurd marketing fluff and lots of technical features to explore, provided one has the patience and curiosity. Thank you for the links however. I might add my own review eventually.
     
    I've seen reviews where Air basically gets 10/10, but isn't listed as number 1 on the list. Sometimes the reason is a lack of protocols such as PPTP and such. Other times user hostility is mentioned, in the sense that Air is very complicated to get into for technical novices (which I then sought to remedy). Still other reasons used to include a lack of country servers or device allowances; where other services would allow 5 devices per account, Air would allow 3 or less. Where other services would have servers literally everywhere, Air would seem limited in comparison. So, provided that the reviewers don't go beyond the veil of marketing, it's really not so surprising if Air gets short changed. I mean, which service do you choose: the one with 1000 servers or the one with 200? It's obvious......... Until you discover that the ones with 1000 servers all over the world, are mostly using Fake GeoIPs lol. But unless you take a closer look into what service you're buying, you might not discover these things. Or worse, you might not care. So why should Air care for such customers in return? All I'm trying to say is, don't despair if Air doesn't appear at the top of the chart, because in the end, quality shines through, but Air can't be everything to everyone, as I see it ^__^.
     
    Air can try its best to secure its service and provide you with a default level of high-security, but it can't fix stupid .

    It is just like he said in the video, I often find myself self-censoring and being super concerned every time I want to send a file or a message to a friend. I have to have it encrypted or use a non-standard program that has encryption. It's not a problem for me, it's just getting my connections to use them as well. It should not be that way...

    if ya look at life in general, whether a fish or critter on land, everything has a 'den' or 'home' a place to 'hide' or go to for safety
    without that, life wouldn't not be able to survive, at all
    without 'privacy' critters wouldn't have a safe spot to eat, feed their young etc
     
    ya look at any animal in captivity, no matter how well kept, and it hurts the heart
    they have no privacy, at all
     
    if ya were to ask me the biggest threat to mankind besides an asteroid i'd say lack of privacy

    in a newspaper you could pretty much bank on it
    not always but most of the time
    i literally do not know what to trust any more with the
    news basically stopped watching it
     
    the other side of the coin on it too is i'm exhausted from
    just seeing continuous bad news on folks
    i know bad news sells, i get that but in the end i don't like
    the way it started to have me look at the world or people
     
    add to the fact most of it is celebrity junk today
    look, attagirl for the kardashians man, glad they made uber
    money, doin well, good to see some gals haven some biz power
    for a change, but holy shit man, every day on google news

    cm0s reacted to zhang888 in [Request] Tips for watching sports streams   ...
    If you are an active content consumer, I would recommend subscribing to a premium provider such as Netflix, Hulu etc, whatever fits your needs more.
    For a small monthly fee you will benefit from a large amount of content, with well maintained CDN networks that can ensure high quality streaming that
    in most cases would only be limited by your network connection speed.
     
    You can get some content free, but this will usually involve installing special "hacks" or closed source junk like all those Popcorn clones, and the quality
    will mostly depend how popular that particular content is.
    Some of the money you pay for premium also goes to the content distributers, and this is important since you won't have any ads in the middle.
     
     
    Offtopic:
    I think this is the real answer against piracy, not DMCA laws. During many years I never found myself paying for content, just because I never found
    the need or the prices were too high. But with this, it's like a flat-rate internet plan to stream all you can, with some perks like no junk or almost zero
    risk of getting spyware from installing a yet another streaming app with it's own plugins.

    cm0s reacted to OpenSourcerer in Windows 10: Helper software for editing privacy-related settings   ...
    Whenever I read something about Windows 10, be it a news article or a forum post, I also read the word "privacy nightmare". It refers to excessive data collection practices by Microsoft's new operating system. Some of these can't even be disabled by going the usual way using built-in settings.
    Luckily, these are the forums of a VPN provider where you can find guides on what to look out for when you want to forcibly shut down the unnecessary "spying". And I wanted to contribute to this by introducing software which helps with this task.

    Focused on disabling services like Cortana, sensors, telemetry, and others Must be installed: Yes traffic light coloring of settings indicates possible impact on the system shows brief explanations for every setting free download is ad-supported W10Privacy
    Focused on privacy settings and all pre-installed apps Must be installed: No More detailed toggles, like just preventing OneDrive's sync feature instead of disabling/uninstalling it as a whole traffic light coloring of every setting indicates possible impact on the system hovering over a setting shows some info on what is done when toggled Maybe we should not ditch the OS but ditch the name: Microsoft Privacy Nightmare, or PN. Microsoft PN. Would really be a witty step after the last creative developer left Microsoft sometime after the Vista release. If you ask me, they instead hired devs who get an instant erection seeing so much data.... from just one Win10 installation.
