Even in 2024, there's still a lot of non-software (automotive) engineering involved in building a car -- even an electric one.

So I get a free car and the owner gets to keep the original? Like hell I wouldn't.

I agree. PIA is the only one I actually paid for and the one I've used the least. They're only still on the list because I bought a 5 year block of time over 4 years ago when they had some big black Friday deal, so their app will soon be uninstalled. The rest are free or trials that I've been evaluating for performance. Thanks for the article, though.

A friend and former colleague in the IT industry recommended them to me so I gave some extra weight to his opinion. Then he lost like ten grand USD in Bitcoin because he left a (default) port forwarded to a VNC server in his house, open to the public and only protected by a known compromised password... and after that I stopped listening to anything he had to say about security.

Almost an oxymoron at this point but it's free with a Pixel phone so I had to at least try it and see how bad it is. Privacy issues aside... it's down all the damn time.

Just the stock Pixel 7 ROM, sadly. I'm testing Graphene on my Pixel 6 and probably installing it on the 7 soon. There's no actual privacy in this shitpost of a screenshot.
