@AkomoCombine lot of people think malware detection = their devices are being scanned for virus like a virus scanner app/software does

Thats not the case malware detection, or blocker, is just a layer of protection against malware it doesn't scan your device for malware

Misleading people in other words

@TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth

@TwistedWhim @AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth

Imo you don't need all they whistles and bells features - all they do is uae up resources and can have a big impact of devices especially the mid/low range devices

They add they features and say it helps with security and stops malware etc.... Blah blah its basically nonsense and a sales tactic

A VPN should just be a vpn and stay in its lane 😆

@TwistedWhim @AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth @th3j35t3r

And their secure DNS blocking ads/trackers rocks - guide to set that up per device - works at an OS level via device settings

@TwistedWhim @AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth @th3j35t3r

Will say proton offers a free service for their vpn so you can test before subscribing - which is a good thing you are limited with features but still a good thing to try 1st

Mullvad I prefer cause of the price and no actual subscription so your not locked into 12+mth to get a better price - like a lot of vpn services do "offer deal" to lock you in or pay more usually double more

@AkomoCombine @TwistedWhim @99reasons4truth @th3j35t3r

Mulvard I use mainly now - have uses proton no issues with it but price wise Mulvard wins £5 a month for ALL

https://mullvad.net/en/pricing

@AkomoCombine @99reasons4truth

Mulvard

1. No issues
2. Easy to use, nothing complicated, easy UI
3. Monthly payments, no subscription, one price for ALL £5 a month, can even pay with actual cash, and via google pay

https://mullvad.net/en/pricing

Also if you don't use Mulvard you can still use their secure DNS for blocking ads & trackers etc free

Family-friendly DNS content blocking now added to our Encrypted DNS service

Handy for devices when not connected to vpn

I blame the "eggs"

@MgBarbatos ikr a new one indeed

They just have to be "unraveling" some conspiracy or another

Matt Tabi has the news >> the grift must go on

They trace what little we know of his origins, his life in the gladiator school where he led a kitchen revolution and escaped with a cohort of other enslaved fighters before raising an army to fight a revolt that pushed the Roman Empire to the brink. From the Roman retaliation to the grisly fate that met the survivors, Dan and Rhiannon unravel the fact from the fiction.

Spartacus is probably the most famous gladiator in history but how much of his legend is actually true? Dan is joined by Dr Rhiannon Evans, from Melbourne’s Le Trobe University, a leading expert in Ancient History and one of the hosts of the Emperors of Rome podcast to find out.

@aasteppin @kel valid point

Alternative reality just like alternative facts

Why does Android not alert users of "google play system update" when there available

¯\(°_o)/¯

You have to manually head in to settings and security and manually check - then restart device

You'd think that update warrants a notification like system updates & security patch updates

Or at least this is part of Musks agenda and why trump, JD Vance, had to get into the white house over Harris

xAI has also been added to the complaint as a new plaintiff, alongside former OpenAI board member Shivon Zilis — an executive at Musk’s Neuralink company and mother of three of his 12 children

And so it begins << the agenda

Elon Musk has updated his fraud, breach of contract, and racketeering lawsuit against OpenAI to make antitrust claims against Microsoft, accusing the two companies of attempting to “monopolize the generative AI market.” The amended complaint filed on Thursday names Microsoft as a new defendant, as well as LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Microsoft VP Dee Templeton, a former OpenAI board member.
