Yeah the moment Proton developed a password manager I switched. Very convenient and the price ain't bad if you use all their services.

To counter some of the other comments, them being based in Panama is a huge plus imo, if you're inclined to do things deemed illegal by local authorities. They have no incentive to comply with government issued search warrants or the like. Most western country-based companies are legally obligated to comply with those requests, or even store information for a number of years. With quantum-based decryption there's no saying how long even encrypted data will be safe.

Generative AI Is Coming To Your Home Appliances (www.forbes.com)

Across all industries, organizations are rapidly embracing generative AI. Among them, makers of home appliances like fridges and ovens. Generative AI in your oven? Why not?

You already pointed out why neither of those are legitimate reasons. For 1 you just need a simple dongle, not new headphones. For 2, because the Fairphone is modular and repairable, it's not just the 3.5mm jack but also a custom replaceable daughterboard they'd have to develop and keep in stock.

Not having a 3.5mm jack is a minor inconvenience at most, I don't get the rage either.

Or, here's a crazy idea, for the one week each year where you actually need the range you rent a Honda Civic and leave your EV at home.

I simply turned off my watch history, no more algorithm.

This idea that nobody on the internet is willing to pay for anything is outdated. Most people know that if it's not money, they're paying in data, time and/or attention. I much prefer paying with money, as do most people that use Proton, Kagi and other paid alternatives to free Google products.

Children here in the Netherlands use : as a divisor symbol. I don't know whether the ÷ sign is particularly American, but it's not universal.
