Straight chilled water.

If I need extra hydration aka eletrolytes, I either put pure electrolytes in it or a flavored powder like Liquid IV.

Desktops. Don't have to worry about batteries and easier to swap out parts.

Mostly their marketing practices. They are designed well but mostly designed to keep you locked in one way or another.

For me, their desktop is not as intuitive as people make it seem and lacks simple shortcuts that most other desktops have.

On mobile, its the restriction of customization and options. They are getting better at customizing but still limit you on options for anything outside of their apps. They claim to be private but follow similar practices as other companies, just in a more quite way with better PR.

When you get a call from a middle-aged male coworker who had tried to coerce you (younger female) into letting him drop you off at home on a Saturday night: do you call back, text, email, or ignore?

Please read post for full context; any help or input is appreciated! I disclosed sensitive info to a close female coworker (let's say Ann), who is best friends with the male coworker mentioned (Ned). I'm sure she told him, but then they both seemed to want me to still tell him directly. I did because I believe in doing the right...

Ignore or if you must reach out some way, then through the work email keeping it professional.

Sounds like a tough situation to be in. Next option is to be clear and upfront that you want to keep the relationship professional. If that is still ignored, I say ignore the person. There isn't much you can do about the actions they decide to take. All you can do it control your own actions and explain your side of the situation if needed. Document anything that you may feel relative to proving your attempt to kept things professional. Best of luck.

Unfortunately you probably won't find any place to really buy it anonymously. If you have some crypto already you can buy some but without it, you will have to go through some broker.

In the US, know your customer is a big thing so you have to ID yourself before you can buy from the more legitimate companies.

Use any exchange that only needs a wallet then trade the token for bitcoin. The real issue is switching cash to coin.

Pick up habits, profiling so they can know what you are interested in and the areas you frequent to target you more efficiently. More likely for directed advertising but can also be for influencing.

Pretty much this. Nothing is really holding them back from collecting data so its easier for them to do this in bulk. They do buy data as well from information brokers. Bigger companies usually have wider reachers to collect more. They have pretty much free range when we agree to use their products, forced or otherwise.

Running tp-link. So far no issues. Asus is good, tp-link gives you more features on the cheaper models than Asus like vlan if you want it.

Ebooks. Can store more on a reading tablet, easier to transport most of the time, sometimes lighter than physical books, hold my spot easily where I left off, can read in darker places, easier to store. Still have physical but liking digital more. Use an eink display tablet. Buy the books then download epubs or PDFs.

Yes, but its not supported on everything. I use Yubikeys since they support more interaction types. I personally use them to lock my more important things when I can. Like my password vault, financial sites, emails, accounts, etc.

For the accounts that are whatever, less important I use OTP. You can also store a limited amount of OTP tokens on the Yubikey and use their open source software to view the codes.

ALWAYS buy a backup if you do end up locking accounts with it, just in case you lose it. It is more secure than having a code saved digitally as you need the physical key to unlock things.
