What I really don’t get is: why even lobby for this? There is no benefit to anyone. EVs are just better. They will take over.

I’m missing a bit the fact that this is not a law yet. This is the position of the commission, which the parliament will then need to approve and has to get past the ECHR as well most likely.

It depends on your threat model or how I like to call it: the paranoia level. Since all connections go through the ISP router anyway you won’t really gain that much privacy unless you directly put a VPN on your router.

Here is what you could potentially stop leaking:

• MAC addresses of your devices
• DNS queries if you use unencrypted DNS

Also theoretically, the router could be an entry point to do attacks against your devices.

People who use pfsense mostly do that because they want more features. For example I have an IoT VLAN that cannot talk to the internet.

For privacy the simplest thing would be to try and put a custom firmware on your WiFi router, like OpenWRT.

Everything else is a bit of an overhaul. And in the end, you always have to trust that the WiFi access points manufacturers firmware does not exfiltrate data.

Also, I would just try plugging in to the modem and see what happens. Most likely you’re just wasting power right now with that ISP router.

There is no perfect system, if you try hard enough you can get into almost anything.

To be clear: that’s their issue.

I’m not talking about slop games, I’m talking about giving single dev games a chance. Even successful single dev games make maybe 140000k which is 70k on your bank account. Having 18k more would make a massive difference for those games.

They don’t have to vet anything, just make the first 50k free.

What adapter are you using specifically, because on their website I can only find 4k30.

They could definitely lower their 30% cut for indie devs. Even just making the first 50k free would be huge (epic takes no cut for the first million).

Because of lower voltage in the US, total available power of a wall socket is lower. So kettles take forever.

Salt is plastic and over time will completely engulf the waste.

Yes absolutely. The results are actually useful, they don’t have an incentive to keep you from finding what you are searching for. There is way less copywritten content and if there is, you can just block it.

Whenever I have to go back to “free” alternatives I am shocked by how much worse it is.

Let’s say you’re a student and poor. You live cheaply, eat ramen every day, etc.

Now you get your first real job. The amount of money at first will seem crazy. There will be the temptation to just splurge, buy watches, fancy apartment, fancy car on loan, etc. This happens every time your income increases significantly.

Now let’s say you get fired. Suddenly you have the loans, the bigger apartment, etc but no way to pay for it. This will be very stressful and you may have to do things you don’t want to.

Imagine instead you didn’t have the car. You got a modest apartment, and saved some money. You have no debts, and can easily take half a year to get a new job no stress.

So when I say live below your means, I mean do not give in to the temptation to splurge. Spend less money than you make.

Try to put at least 30% or so of your income to the side (aim for 50%). Make an emergency fund of at least 3 months worth of expenses. Then start putting money into tax-deductible retirement funds and ETFs.

Most importantly, never take loans and keep monthly expenses like subscriptions to a minimum.

Live below your means.
